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. The stunning environment Arjun explores is that of a lost ancient civilization fueled by the twisted enlightenment of the eclipse.  Saros lands in March 2026, check out the PlayStation blog post for more details on w...

Shining Resonance Refrain brings dragons to the Switch

Nothing like a shit title to make you hate an RPG from the off, so enter Sega with "Shining Resonance Refrain" a name that makes zero sense at all. According to the dictionary:

  • Resonance is a phenomenon in which an external force drives another system to oscillate with greater amplitude (think of an opera singer shattering a glass with her voice). 
  • Refrain is to abstain from an impulse, or a recurring verse, likely the latter.
So this game is: Bright-thing-vibrating-repeating-chorus, what the hell does that even mean?

"Shining Resonance Refrain" is a remaster of the original Japanese PS3 dragon fighting RPG game "Shining Resonance" with dual audio for English and Japanese. In addition to all of the original's DLC, it adds a new "Refrain Mode," unlocking the Imperial Princess Excella and Dragonslayer Jinas as party members for a new experience.

In real-time action combat, players need to use each party member's unique abilities and strengths while deepening relationships with each character. Through events and dates, get to know your party members to unlock their full potential on the battlefield! Depending on the bonds of the characters, "Resonance" may occur between them, providing a new level of support, leading to victory.
