Punch the mob in the face in the excellently named Fights in Tight Spaces, a turn-based game in which you batter rooms of red goons until there is no more crime left.
Punches, kicks, and reversals are represented by cards. A lot of cards deal damage, of course, but you can also shove people around the small combat grid to disrupt gunfire or to rescue civilians from danger.

CD Projekt Red, like an awful lot of other businesses over the past couple of weeks, has shifted to remote work as a result of the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak.

Love is in the air in Borderlands 3, though given all the shooting, bloodletting and XP acquisition in the above 12 minute video - you wouldn't guess it. 'Guns, Love and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright and Hammerlock' is the name of the game's next expansion, and it's apparently a rom-com with Lovecraft elements. It releases March 26.

Crows Crows Crows, the studio founded by Stanley Parable co-creator William Pugh, has a replacement for the social aspects of the 2020 Game Developers Conference, which was going to take place in San Francisco this week before being postponed due to the global coronavirus health emergency.

Battle monsters and puns in this stylish, free roguelike
https://www.pcgamer.com/battle-monsters-and-puns-in-this-stylish-free-roguelike/
ASCII-based roguelikes are a great way to enjoy the genre, as they leave room for your imagination to contribute. But Atgtha in Absurdia (with its damn awkward spelling) is one that adds a little pzazz in the form of bouncy visual and sound effects. It's got a fantastically rich atmosphere as a result.

https://www.pcgamer.com/the-riftbreaker-is-a-base-building-action-rpg-for-mech-lovers/
The Riftbreaker is a mutant hybrid, part base-building romp with serious tower defence vibes—not entirely surprising given that it comes from the creators of X-Morph Defense— and survival mechanics, part action-RPG where you can slaughter thousands of aliens in your resilient mech. Take a gander at the new trailer above.

I doubt I'll be going outside very much in the coming months, so the imminent arrival of SnowRunner, which will send us out into the wilderness to fight snow, mud and water with trucks, is very comforting. Judging by the overview trailer above, it seems like it could be the perfect panacea to stop me from bouncing off the walls.
