Welcome to the first week of the month of September, no matter if you're prepared for it or not. This week's major release is a sequel to a 2017 game, but this time the main character is a princess turned knight and it'll be available on just about every platform imaginable. The rest of this week is packed with new releases and we kick off the week with some 1920s animation inspired psychological horror, which is followed by a first person sci-fi shooter and a 3D action platformer with a rather unique looking art style. Then we get to experience hell on earth and we round the week off with some third person time travel sci-fi horror. Don't forget to check out the additional games that didn't quite make the list this week.
