Usually every week I need to do a lot of sorting to remove all the junk shovelware and porn games, but this week’s batch is surprisingly clean. Nothing groundbreaking but quite a few games to consider. The one standing out this week is Dungeon Clawler, an excellent take on the roguelite dungeon crawler that integrates UFO catcher (claws) mechanics to grant you bonuses when you fight.
