This Week in Gaming (Week 11)
As we enter the second week of March, we got plenty of new games launching once again. We kick off the week with a John Carpenter game that doesn't include vampires as this week's major release. As for the other games, we kick off the week with a friendlier theme where you have to make a dead planet alive again, followed by taking on the job as a park ranger. Next up we have a game about a wolf and princess, which is followed by a magical, turn-based tactical RPG. Next up you get to hunt some monsters and finally we have a Saturday release that puts you in charge of a tank. We also have a couple of additional games at the end that didn't quite make the list.

16 Comments on This Week in Gaming (Week 11)
The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince looks interesting, but it's a shame that most of the animations has low frame count, but I think that it is artistic choice.
I guess it might appeal to some people and maybe it's better when you play with other people than having bots with you, as the bots were really, really useless.
Some of the objects were also really unclear or buggy at the time, but I presume those things will have been fixed since then.
I've tried 2 times, and both times it failed :(
It has Astroneer vibes and I hope the full game has some deep like Planet Crafer.
