This Week In Games Australia: Mortal Kombat 1, Payday 3, Lies Of P, And EA FC 24

Welcome back to This Week In Games Australia, your look ahead at everything you’ll be playing in the next seven days.

This week, Silly Season continues. The week’s heaviest hitters are Mortal Kombat 1 (which becomes available for everyone, not just preorder customers), EA FC 24 (which becomes available for preorder customers only, and publishers please stop doing this), with Pinocchio-themed Soulsborne Lies of P and multiplayer rob-em-up (?) Payday 3.

Elsewhere, Gloomhaven comes to consoles, Bit.Trip Rerunner brings the classic series back again as does Super Bomberman R 2, and Mon-Yu has the week’s best title (scroll down, you’ll see why).

New Zealand studio Bardesly Creative launches its relaxing puzzle platformer Seedlings on Steam. It’s a game in which you play a little seed that can possess various plant-like creatures, on a journey through an NZ forest. Part of what makes it a little bit special is Seedlings uses a lot of real photos and videos of native New Zealand forests to build its world. One to check out.

Without further ado, here’s what you’ll be playing this week.
