Out this week: Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, Riders Republic, Mario Superstars Party, Hermitage, Moonglow Bay, more

There’s a heady mixture of big-name titles out this week, with several providing timely Halloween scares. The same goes for next week, which is shaping up to be one of the biggest of the year, if only because of Call of Duty’s arrival. займ онлайн без отказа

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is out Tuesday, being Square-Enix’s response for a single-player focused Marvel game. We’re a tad concerned about its replay value, expecting a ten-hour or so gung-ho experience. Damned if you do, etc. It might be wise to wait for reviews.

Nintendo prepares Mario Superstars Party, a remix of N64 era party games. It’s getting a big push, with a TV campaign already underway. While visually slick, we haven’t seen anything up to the standard of Super Mario Party’s multi-screened ingenuity yet.

Sticking with Nintendo, Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water sails away from the Wii U and arrives on other formats, in a remaster of sorts. This Japanese horror adventure, with photography at its core, is expensive nowadays so it’s pleasing to see it reach a larger audience.

Ubisoft is back with another big winter release too. Riders Republic has been a long time coming, offering a multiplayer playground with all manner of extreme sports to compete in. It’s Pepsi Max: The Game, pretty much.

Hot on the heels of last month’s Centipede: Recharged comes Atari’s spider-filled shooter Black Widow: Recharged. Consider us intrigued.

Joining it are the Chinese visual novel Hermitage: Strange Case Files – with paranormal and investigation themes – the chilled fishing RPG Moonglow Bay, a re-release of the Mega Drive’s Panorama Cotton, dungeon crawler Undernauts: Labyrinth of Yomi, and the crossover battler Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars.

Iron Harvest, Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse, and the 3D platformer Pumpkin Jack get their next-gen re-releases meanwhile, with Stubbs the Zombie also gaining a £15.99 retail release on PS4 and Xbox One. That’s a no-brainer.
