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.

Side Kicks a murder adventure shows California, Japan style

Billed as an adventure game that reveals the real evil, Side Kicks has been under the radar since an announcement last year. Now publisher Extend is putting up some gameplay clips and a more recent trailer, showing off the team of the Sakrada Police Department, set in a fictional Californian town.

The official Side Kicks site (some English) has plenty more imagery. There's also a bunch of tweets (in Japanese) flying around.
