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.

Waking Violet officially announced for Vita by Mixed Bag

Having teased with a first image back in April, and the trophy listing somewhat spoiling the surprise, Waking Violet by Marco Mastropaolo is officially announced today, by publisher Mixed Bag as their farewell publishing release to the format.

Given I'll never forget the magic of Forma.8, and the fun of Futuridium, they'll always have a special place in my heart, and I'll pick up their future titles on any formats I own. Waking Violet is a native-res, 60fps game that sees the teenage heroine of the game trapped in a dream.

Using a classic 2D top-down approach she has to solve puzzles using a range of spells and the ability to turn back time, if she ever wants to wake up. Check out the launch trailer, with the game coming very soon.
