### Weekly Game Review: Exploring New Titles While Edwin Navigates the Maw

In the latest escapade of our beloved news editor Edwin, it appears he has found himself once again at the mercy of the enigmatic Maw. During a routine task involving an 8-foot toothpick and the Maw’s formidable canines, Edwin was tragically snatched away by one of the creature’s smaller tentacles. Fear not, loyal readers—Edwin has a proven track record of escaping the Maw’s grip and returning to his duties, albeit with a few tales to tell. In his absence, we explore some exciting new game releases for this week.

In a game where you step into the shoes of a space bank robber, [**Galactic Vault**](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3585460/Galactic_Vault/) pits you against hordes of robotic adversaries. While reminiscent of **Void Bastards**, it offers its own take on the roguelike space heist experience.

Censored Japanese Version of Resident Evil Requiem Features Disturbing Depictions of Corpses

People on social media are upset about censorship in Resident Evil Requiem. Wait, come back!
