Saros delivers Returnal 2 in all but name

Housemarque's Returnal remains one of the best PS5 games. Built to kill, raised to die, and fine-tuned to annoy the shit out me while dragging me back in for yet another go at  2AM.  Not-a-sequel Saros ropes in my one of my favourite actors Rahul Kohli into the mix with proper shields, greater weapons freedom, Indian-styled visuals, and borrowing  Xenon 2: Megablast's palette and violence.  Saros is set on Carcosa, a shape-shifting, hostile alien planet.

Shiren the Wanderer 5 hits No. 2 in Japan

The latest Media Create charts fail to excite again as Japan snoozes in to summer. However, Spike Chunsoft's Shiren the Wanderer 5 manages to make it in as the highest new entry, selling 16,200 but fails to dislodge Splatoon from the No. 1 spot. A few more new entries nudge Minecraft down to No. 7 but it is still selling 10,000 a week and should be over 200,000 physical sales next week.


Out this week is the latest Legend of Heroes Evolution title from Kadokawa and a few more romance games, so don't expect much excitement next week. Vita sales fall again, but at this rate might still pass 4 million lifetime Japanese sales by the end of June. Are there any games coming to replicate those spikes from previous years, check out the launch schedule.
