And then there was … disco lights. One of the best games of last year hits the PC this week, Yakuza 0. And there’s a ton of interesting indies around that too: Hellblade gets a VR port, Forsaken arises from the annals of history thanks to a Night Dive remaster, and Sam Barlow’s latest game comes to Xbox.

Oy vey. Quite the week of releases.
Let’s start with Bitkid’s Chasm. It’s a gorgeous 2D platformer that should be right up the alley of anyone who enjoyed Shovel Knight or procedurally generated platformers.
Staying on the platformer trend, Iconoclasts is a colourful adventure featuring the mechanic Robin and a wealth of puzzles and boss fights to navigate. Very neat Metroidvania, this.
And if that’s not enough Metroidvania action, how about La-Mulana 2?
Rend is a little different. It’s from some World of Warcraft alumni, and it’s billed as an open-world survival adventure in a Nordic land. “Players choose among three rival factions, combine forces to build their faction’s stronghold, and battle foes and brutal creatures.”
Oh and by the way, there’s a Forsaken remaster. (It’s on Xbox, but I couldn’t see it on the Australian store this morning.) I need this immediately.
Reminds me that I still need to get around to playing that Descent spiritual successor, too.
Anyway, that’s some of what’s out this week. See anything you like?
