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.

Intellivision collections coming to Evercade

While a revamped Intellivision is rolling out its own Amico retro-modern system, the original games and system were a high-point of early-80s gaming, if a touch expensive then and very rare today. 

Blaze can fix that with a 12-game Evercade cartridge landing in the autumn and more carts promised to follow. 


The Intellivision numeric function pads and disc controls won't be an issue as games will be individually adapted for modern controls. The first three games announced for Collection 1 are early-80s efforts, Frog Bog, AstroSmash and Night Stalker for some shooting, maze running, fly munching action. 

Update: The rest of the titles for the first collection have been revealed. 

There's a decade of titles to choose from so hopefully a few more recent ones will make the list. Hopefully they won't drag out announcing the other nine over too long. 

Whatever your feelings for Intellivision, this is another great sources of games for the Evercade and helps round out its position as the ultimate retro handheld. If you fancy the modern version of the Intellivision, the Amico is up for pre-order now.
