This Week in Gaming (Week 14)

Controller Master



Don’t worry, we haven’t included any April fools games in this week’s new releases, even though we’re about to enter the first week of April. However, the month of April doesn’t exactly start with a bang when it comes to new games, in fact, it feels a bit like the first week of the year, as there’s no major release this week. What we do have on offer includes paws, pixels, rage quitting, beats and a sprinkling of Valhalla.

Pawggle / Monday 1 April

One simple rule: Eliminate all the red pegs from the game board before running out of balls. Pawggle is a casual Peggle/Pachinko style game but, this time, you step away from the visor. Step into a world where you become the guiding hand for your furry companions, aiding them by strategically placing blue pegs. Steam Link
