Mass-Effect‑Styled RTS, Kanji Civ Builder, and Noble‑Plot Gamebook Lead This Week in PC Games

Rock Paper Shotgun’s weekly PC games preview (July 20–24, 2026) surveys a wildly varied slate: a Mass Effect‑flavored sci‑fi RTS in ZeroSpace with branching campaign and persistent multiplayer, The Life and Suffering of Prince Jerian—a gamebook RPG about scheming nobles, Ritter & Rotwein—a physics‑driven medieval fencing sim, a cat‑island cozy management title, and a kanji‑learning civ builder called Worlds Upon The Wind, plus several early‑access releases such as Boxel’s Aquapark Tycoon and Dewdrop Dynasty. The piece also notes staff tidbits and a playful “Feed the Maw” poll for readers.
