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.

Acquire's Metropolis Defenders breaks cover in Famitsu

Acquire has been good bringing Vita games west with Akiba's Trip, Mind Zero and others making the trek here. Wonder if this new game, Metropolis Defenders will also make it over. Revealed in the latest issue of Famitsu, there isn't a lot to see, beyond some 3D cityscapes, giant monsters, lots of construction and some magical characters alongside the regular folk.

Could be interesting if they get the balance right, and it isn't just another monster slaying game, which I think we could all do with a bit of break from (you know, expect for God Eater Rage Burst and probably some more Toukiden).



Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
