Two very different RPGs launch this week. Having debuted on Apple Arcade in 2019, multiformat cartoon tie-in Steven Universe: Unleash the Light is billed as a “mobile RPG†– whatever that means. It features seven playable characters and voice overs from the show’s cast, which should help give it an edge over the last Steven …
While arguably in the minority, we weren’t won over by Little Nightmares. The fleeting 4-5 hour runtime, trial and error stealth sections, and lack of narration left us far from smitten. This week’s sequel looks set to correct some of those shortcomings, this time around pairing Six with new character Mono. Together they explore a …
PS5 games have been a little slower to surface than we anticipated, especially full-price retail releases. All change this week – the PS5 gets Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood, Control: Ultimate Edition, The Nioh Collection, and a brand-new PS Plus release – Destruction AllStars. Lucid Games’ smash and crash racer is due out Tuesday and …
Xbox owners are ‘aving it medium this week, gaining not just the third-person realm-jumping horror adventure The Medium but also The Yakuza Remastered Collection. The former comes from Blooper Team and is the first major first-party Xbox exclusive since the Xbox Series X launched, while SEGA’s Yakuza Collection brings together Yakuza 3, 4, and 5. …
This week gives us the biggest release of the month in the form of the anticipated Hitman 3. It marks both a beginning and an end – it’s the trilogy’s grand finale, and also a fresh hassle/publisher free start for developer IO Interactive. As well as a darker tone it also features PSVR support. The …
All signs pointed to just three new releases in the days leading to Christmas, one of which was some dull Mahjong thing. The release schedules reported as such, and both Sony and Microsoft skipped their weekly new game round-ups in favour of promoting their Xmas sales. But by Friday around fifteen new games had arrived …
It’s a reasonably busy week for Xbox owners, especially those with Game Pass. Gears 5: Hivebusters – a three-hour campaign set on a volcanic island – is out Tuesday, with card battler Monster Train, minimalistic puzzler Wilmot’s Warehouse, and the rogue-lite deck builder Neoverse following after. On PS4 there’s Nioh 2: The First Samurai – the …
Here’s the cherry on top of an exceedingly warped year – the biggest release of 2020 is also the final major release, arriving days before Christmas. Cyberpunk 2077 is no ordinary game, however – first announced during E3 2012, it has seen a development cycle spanning an entire console generation and beyond. After an estimated …
Previously known as Gods & Monsters, until a certain energy drink manufacturer stepped in, Immortals: Fenyx Rising is Ubisoft’s final release of the year. This one is heading to Switch too, brightening up a rather quiet winter line-up. Some believe it was once pitched to Nintendo as a new Kid Icarus, although it’s uncertain how …
It was inevitable that the new release deluge would eventually come to a trickle. We just didn’t expect it to happen so suddenly – this week belongs to the indies, with only a couple of big-name titles due. Specifically, Just Dance 2021 on PS5 and Cobra Kai on Switch. Out of Space: Couch Edition invites …
If you pre-ordered physical releases of the PS5 line-up, chances are they’ve plonked through your letterbox already – the majority of PS5 games launched last week in the UK, both digitally and at retail. And this was despite the console still being a week away. The console itself is finally out Thursday, bringing with it …
While last week’s new release assortment was definitely far quieter than this week, a handful of big-name titles still made their way to store shelves. These included Codies’ DIRT 5, EA’s Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, LOL Surprise! Remix on Switch, and a new multiformat Paw Patrol game. Can you guess which of these …
This week we welcome MS’s fourth console generation. We’ve been around long enough to see every Xbox generation fold-out, awarding the original Halo a stonking 10/10 on launch day. We certainly aren’t spring chickens, which makes it all the more surprising to say that this week is the busiest we’ve ever seen in the site’s …
Next week is one of the busiest in recent memory, eclipsing even the last few Christmases – according to GAME, over 40 new titles are due at retail alone. This week isn’t exactly the ‘calm before the new release storm’ however, with a handful of big hitters due. Racing fans, in particular, are well catered …
Watch_Dogs 2 didn’t exactly arrive to the warmest of receptions, selling only 80k copies during launch week compared to the estimated 380k units the original managed. All signs point to Watch Dogs: Legion being in a much stronger position – it’s far more anticipated than its predecessor. Set in a dystopian post-Brexit London, it’s main …
