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.

Catherine Full Body half-heartedly hits the Japanese chart

Selling 9,200 copies, Catherine Full Body is probably the last Vita game to make a major dent in the Media Create chart in Japan, landing at No. 13. That's pretty far behind the 51K sold by the PS4 version at No. 2, a sad but predictable end.

However, if niche publishers want to the give the Vita a punt, Golden Corda Octave proves there's still plenty of life in it - selling 4,500 physical copies at No. 17 and probably a lot more on PSN to make visual novels still worthwhile - as it was with the end of the PSP's life.

With the news that production will end "soon" in Japan, unit sales rise a little to 1,767 for last week, and might head up a little more, but these are pretty much the last twitches of positive movement. What's for sure is if you want a Vita or a spare unit, get it now as prices will shoot up.
