This Week’s Games – Games Asylum

Out this week: Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure, DREDGE, Lunark, Mayhem in Single Valley, The Last Worker, more

With the gaming community wrapped up in Resident Evil 4 fever, it’s perhaps a relief to find that this week’s assortment of new games is smaller than usual. But while this week lacks an easily identifiable big new release, there are a few anticipated indies and belated conversions...

Out this week: Resident Evil 4, Deceive Inc, Tchia, The Crown of Wu, Postal 4, more [Updated]

Good guy Capcom is back with their anticipated Resident Evil 4 remake. Why are they good guys, you ask? Not did they release a demo ahead of launch, but reviews went live a week ahead too. With a magnitude of 9s and 10s behind it, it has become...

Out this week: WWE 2K23, Bayonetta Origins, Anno 1800, The Forest Cathedral, Valheim, Post Void, more

When Bayonetta 3 launched in October, it’s doubtful anyone could predict a new entry would be with us in less than six months. Although a full-price release, Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is a departure for the series, being a storybook adventure with a puzzle solving...

Out this week: Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, Little Witch Nobeta, Mato Anomalies, more

Another week, another Wii remake. Unlike the recent Kirby’s Return to Dream Land though, Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse heads to all formats. The original reviewed well, but this was some fifteen years ago. It remains to be seen if it has stood the test of...

Out this week: Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Scars Above, Destiny 2: Lightfall, BROK the InvestiGator, LEAP, more

There’s an air of intrigue to this week’s assortment of new releases, with several titles promising something new or a little different. From the developers of Nioh comes new IP Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty – a dark fantasy Souls-like set in 184 AD. You play as a nameless...

Out this week: PSVR2, Like a Dragon: Ishin, Atomic Heart, Octopath Traveler II, Clive ‘N’ Wrench, Akka Arrh, more

It’s a ridiculously busy week for new releases. How busy? Well, we had to start compiling this piece a day earlier than usual. By our estimation 42 new titles are ready to launch alongside the PSVR2, including the system showpiece Horizon Call of the Mountain. Another 20 new...

Out this week: Wild Hearts, Wanted: Dead, Ten Dates, Theatrhythm Final Bar Line, Tales of Symphonia Remastered, more

EA’s recent Dead Space revival was allegedly fuelled by the positive reception and – more importantly – the huge sales figures generated by Capcom’s Resident Evil remakes. It seems that the uber publisher has been paying attention to Capcom’s other successes, with this week’s Wild Hearts – developed...

Out this week: Hogwarts Legacy, The Redress of Mira, Raiden IV x MIKADO remix, Go! Go! PogoGirl, more

Doubtlessly fuelled by glowing previews, huge pre-order figures for Hogwarts Legacy suggest it’s going to be one of the biggest-selling games of 2023. It certainly seems that the delay paid off, with pre-release footage showing off a huge, richly detailed, world to explore and combat that appears surprisingly...

Out this week: SpongeBob: The Cosmic Shake, Deliver Us Mars, Fashion Police Squad, Rhythm Sprout, Age of Empires II, more

January’s new release energy carries into February, with a handful of notable new games due this week. Looking ahead for the rest of the month, highlights include Wild Hearts, Like a Dragon: Ishin, Atomic Heart, Wanted: Dead, Octopath Traveler II, and the PSVR2 – which launches with 32(!)...

Out this week: Dead Space, Forspoken, Risen, Dance of Death, Startup Company, Oddballers, more

Last week the Switch received Fire Emblem Engage. This week it’s the turn of the PS5 to receive a big-name exclusive. Forspoken comes from Square-Enix and stars reluctant hero Frey, a New Yorker who finds herself transported to a cruel but scenic world – one that’s filled with...

Out this week: Monster Hunter Rise, A Space For The Unbound, Tortuga – A Pirate’s Tale, Fire Emblem Engage, more

We fail to recall a January anywhere near as busy as this one. Dead Space and Forspoken are less than two weeks away, while this week sees Monster Hunter Rise, Fire Emblem Engage, and a whole lot more. Rumours also persist of Microsoft launching GoldenEye 007 during their...

Out this week: One Piece Odyssey, Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider, Breakers Collection, Children of Silentown, more

While a few new releases surfaced last week, there wasn’t enough to warrant a full-blown round-up. Just to recap, the Xbox gained the promising wildlife-saving strategic RPG We Are The Caretakers, pixel art platformer Shieldmaiden: Remix Edition, and the comic book-style tower defense roguelike Space Raiders in Space. New...
