After several slow weeks of new game releases, we now have a week that's overflowing with new game releases. The most anticipated release this week is an online PvPvE dungeon crawler, built on Unreal Engine 5. This is followed by a crusty space game, an evil game, a game that involves attracting birds to you, a dystopian New York of the future, a bit of Japanese folklore, some more dungeons, fighting some gods and finally being a Japanese goddess. Yes, we threw in a bunch of extra games this week, yet we're not able to cover all the new releases that are coming out.

Dungeonborne / This week's major release / Friday 19 July / Early Access
Dungeonborne is an immersive first-person PvPvE dungeon crawler. Venture solo or join forces with trusted companions to hunt for treasure, explore ominous dungeons, and battle terrifying monsters and cunning adversaries. Escape before succumbing to darkness and greed. Embrace your role as a Fighter, Priest, Rogue, Swordmaster, Pyromancer, Cryomancer, Death Knight, or Druid. With first-person clarity, feel the power of each spell, the weight of your weapons, and the strategic impact of every decision. Charge into battle, unleash devastating skills to disrupt enemy formations, cast life-saving buffs on allies, or use tactical throwables to turn the tide. Steam link




The Crust / Monday 15 July / Early Access
Automate a lunar base as you become the savior of humanity exploring the future on the moon. Mine, craft, research, and trade resources with Earth in this gripping narrative basebuilder. Steam link



EvilVEvil / Tuesday 16 July
EvilVEvil is a fast-paced first-person vampire shooter that rewards you for mowing through hordes of enemies without remorse. The game features a cast of badass vampires, each with powerful abilities and a heavy dose of attitude.

Flock / Tuesday 16 July

Nobody Wants to Die / Wednesday 17 July
Lose yourself in the world of New York, 2329, where immortality comes at a price that someone has to pay. Following a near-death experience, Detective James Karra takes an off-the-books case from his chief with only the help of a young police liaison, Sara Kai, to assist him. Time reveals all as they risk everything in pursuit of a killer, uncovering the dark secrets of the city's elite. Steam link



Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus / Wednesday 17 July
Flow gracefully through a colorful, hand-drawn 2.5D action platformer inspired by Japanese folklore. Engage in acrobatic aerial combat, unlock powerful mystical abilities, and explore an interconnected world of myth as you seek to unravel the mysteries of your origin. Steam link



Dungeons of Hinterberg / Thursday 18 July
Welcome to Hinterberg, a new tourist hotspot in the idyllic Austrian Alps! You play as Luisa, a burnt-out law trainee taking a break from her fast-paced corporate life to conquer the Dungeons of Hinterberg. There are plenty of dungeons to find and adventures to be had in Hinterberg - will Luisa be sent packing on her first day, or remain to become a Master Slayer? Only one way to find out… Steam link



Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn / Thursday 18 July
The Door to the Great Below has been opened unleashing the Gods and their armies of the Dead. The lands of Kian are besieged, the city of Dawn is on the brink of destruction. It's time for the Coalition army to fight back. Embrace vengeance, gunpowder and magic as you embark on an epic journey to defeat the Gods, close the door and retake the world. Steam link



Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess / Friday 19 July
A new tale of the Kami awaits... Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a unique Japanese-inspired, single player Kagura Action Strategy game. The game takes place on a mountain covered by defilement.

In love with Nobody Wants to Die's tech noir aesthetic! Hopefully the story and gameplay is just as good. Surprisingly, the game has pretty low requirements for a UE5 title.

I also like the visual presentation and the varied mechanics of Dungeons of Hinterberg, even though I'm not into slashers.

Benchmark Scores I dont have time for that.
They should make a UE5 story driven life is strange-esque game about a journalist that publishes weekly game releases and his subsequent decent into madness from the things he has seen reading and looking at screenshots from low tier indie studios. Two different endings tragedy; or leaving everything behind to live in the forest.

Free soundtrack with pre order.

I am excited for The Crust. It looks like a fun game to play on the couch with my laptop and some coffee. I am also very excited for the flintlock game. I predownloaded it from gamepass on my desktop. Thank you so much for the weekly gaming updates. I have found so many cool games including Manor Lords from the weekly post.
