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...

Donut Dodo Fantastico cooking on retro consoles

Donut Dodo from Pixel Games was one of my favourite indie games of 2022, perfectly capturing the essence of classic arcade titles, with vibrant visuals, a fun but menacing enemy, and a daunting challenge. I'd say it was even better when it hit the Evercade in the third indie classic collection.

Announced last year, we nearing a release of the Fantastico sequel, on PC/Steam first, with a console outing later this year. Alongside Switch, DDF is also coming to Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast, or the modern emulated equivalents, and hopefully Evercade.  

In the sequel the goofy donut-scoffing giant bird returns to treat Dodo Junior to a whirlwind day at the vintage funfair. But Baker Billy Burns is here to make a mess of things and grab every last donut before little Junior can get those wings sticky!

Donut Dodo FANTASTICO follows the route of the original, as a single-screen arcade platformer inspired by the golden age of gaming. Run, climb, jump, and scramble through colourful stages - dodging enemies, bouncing through hazards, and snatching up donuts before time runs out.


Each stage is a quick, skill-based challenge designed for short and sweet play sessions - whether you’ve got 3 minutes or 30, there’s always time for “just one more run.”
