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.

Minecraft dominates PSN sales

No surprise who is number one when it came to PSN in November, with the Vita edition proving the most popular, likely by far. But since we don't get any download numbers from Sony (shame the Sony Studios hack didn't pick any of this stuff up), who knows who dominant it really was.

I've just started getting back into Killzone and am pleased to see it at No. 2. Surely the game, which also remains in the top three of the retail chart on a permanent basis, has made enough money for Sony to consider rolling out another episode. Even if it just reuses scaled-down assets from the PS4 version with new mission goals?

Freedom Wars is doing consistently well, there's a useful comment in the PSN blog post for these numbers, listing all the players across the different ranges. It adds up to 8,500 just about which suggests that's about the best Sony can hope for in sales of big Vita games (excluding people who play exclusively offline). Guessing that's EU only but still pretty grim!
