In case you missed it last week, Life is Strange: Double Exposure made its digital debut, courtesy of the retcon experts, and Taito introduced Final Blow as part of their Archives collection.
With Thanksgiving around the corner, you’d think shadowdrops from Nintendo of America would be scarce—but if past weeks are any indication, it’s anyone’s guess. This week’s highlight is likely the English release of Riviera: The Promised Land, perfect for those seeking an escape into a strategy RPG this holiday. Meanwhile, I’m intrigued by Steam Prison: Beyond the Steam, a fandisc that, unlike its pricey predecessor, is more budget-friendly. Nine Sols is also generating some chatter among gamers, and the Wholesome Direct brings us Critter Cafe. Don’t overlook Broken Reality either—it could be a surprise hit.
In the retro gaming sphere, Snow Bros. Wonderland is offering a fresh spin on the classic action format, the Epyx Sports Collection lets you experience the infuriating delicacies of Hacky Sack, and EggConsole’s The Scheme is a shooter that’s accessible even if your Japanese isn’t top-notch.
