This week in PC games: play a human-eating Katamari from outer space, take over a nature reserve in Planet Zoo 2, and battle Napoleonic body horror in Valor Mortis
Rock Paper Shotgun’s weekly PC games roundup highlights three standout titles for players. The column features a human-eating Katamari from outer space, which appears to be a creative cosmic variant on the beloved ball-rolling series. In this intergalactic take, players control a sphere that absorbs objects and characters, with the unusual twist of consuming human subjects. Planet Zoo 2 shifts focus to zoo management, allowing players to take control of and develop a nature reserve, continuing the series’ emphasis on animal husbandry and facility building. Valor Mortis offers a darker gaming experience, blending Napoleonic-era warfare with body horror elements, creating unsettling and grotesque combat encounters.
The article maintains Rock Paper Shotgun’s signature humorous writing style, opening with narrative framing involving office workplace dynamics and the management of a mysterious creature called “the Maw.” This setup serves as an entertaining introduction to the week’s game recommendations. The roundup functions as a weekly digest of notable PC game releases and updates, designed to keep readers informed about upcoming launches and interesting titles worth considering.
