https://www.techpowerup.com/308897/this-week-in-gaming-week-21 To call this a busy week of game releases would be an understatement and there should be something for everyone except those that want a new sports or racing game of some kind. This week's AAA title is all about precious things, but we also have games covering the post-human world on earth, rescue missions, hammers of war, the colour yellow and snakes, for those that are into those kinds of things. Oddly enough, most of the games this week are released on Tuesday, so we included a whole bunch of new releases on the same day of week this time around due to this, not because we hate the other days of the week.
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum / This week's AAA title / Thursday 25 May

Inkbound / Monday 22 May

The Baby in Yellow / Friday 26 May
The Baby In Yellow is a Lovecraftian comedy horror game where you must look after a suspicious baby and survive his attempts to take control. Over the course of 8 chapters this creepy bundle of madness must be well-fed, clean and most importantly, kept entertained.
Some of these games sound interesting.
