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.

Black Butterfly flutters into the Japanese chart as sales drift down

Hot on the heels of Sony's results, the Japanese chart is nearly ready to wake up with the first big games of 2015, but not quite. There's a smattering of new entries in Media Create's chart, but not even new No. 1 Devil Survivor 2 on 3DS can muster much in the way of sales.

The Vita manages another 12,400 sales, losing a 3,000 on last week, but with Persona 4 Golden getting a "Best of" budget release this week and Ukiyo Bruno Warriors and Sengoku Musuo 4 II arriving the week after, things should start stirring.

There's one new game charting this week, squeaking in at No. 18. Kurochou no Psychedelica (Psychedelia of the Black Butterfly) from Idea Factory managed to shift 5,318 copies. Dururara Relay failed to chart in the top 20, which is grim for Kadokawa who seemed to be hyping it a lot. 

 To show how many smaller games there are on the Vita, Famitsu's chart which goes down to No. 30 has six Vita titles in it, most of them lower-order new entries.
