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. It changes on every death, where a total eclipse changes everything (very Pitch Black!). The video shows the first biome, hopefully the others shift up the palette more than Returnal did.  Along his journey he finds Nitya Chandran (Shunori Ramanthan), adding some depth to the Returnal-mayhem.

Vita manages two games in Japanese top 10

In the latest Media Create charts, the Vita sees Dragon's Crown joined by Acquire's Mind 0 which managed a rather limp 15,000 sales but was still enough to see it hit No. 7. Dragon's Crown on Vita sold more than the PS3 version this week, but is still fading fast in physical sales, suggesting Vanillaware's love is being largely enjoyed by downloaders, which saw a roaring trade last week, as the game hit over 300K combined.

07./00. [PSV] Mind/Zero (Acquire) {2013.08.01} (¥6.279) - 15.575 / NEW
09./03. [PSV] Dragon's Crown (Atlus) {2013.07.25} (¥8.190) - 13.772 / 84.855 (-81%)


Mind 0 looked so boring, I'm amazed anyone brought it. The Vita itself managed another 17,000 sales keeping it a distant second behind the all-conquering 3DS. The PSP sold another 6,000 and got its own new entry in the form of Shiratsuyu no Kai.
