This Week in Gaming (Week 7)

Welcome to the second week of February and another packed week of new releases, even though none of them are AAA titles. The major release this week comes from the creators of Little Nightmares and to no surprise, we're talking a co-op horror adventure. The week kicks off with a bad bout of the Monday's, followed by some artifact hunting and a trip to Japan. Next up we have some motorcycle racing, followed by a sequel of a rather crazy game on alien planets. On top of all of that, we have a few extra games that didn't quite make the list, but that we reckon some of you might be interested in.

Reanimal / This week's major release / Friday 13 February
The original creators of Little Nightmares & Little Nightmares II have returned to take you on a more terrifying journey than ever before. In this co-op horror adventure game, you play as a brother & sister who go through hell to rescue their missing friends. Exploring by boat and on land, you must use your wits to survive, work together to escape the hellish island, and the dark secret that haunts you. Steam link
Monday Syndrome / Monday 9 February
Monday Syndrome is a single-player action roguelike where you play as an intern trapped in a hellish office. Descend into a satirical corporate hell, battling demonic coworkers with absurd weapons made from office supplies in an endless, procedurally generated tower. Can you survive the eternal 9-to-5? Steam link
Relooted / Tuesday 10 February
A crew. A job. A plan. In Relooted, toss those ingredients together, and you've got yourself a classic heist—but with a few twists. Your crew members are everyday citizens with pretty normal careers from different countries in Africa. The job is to liberate African artifacts from Western museums. And the plan? Well, that's up to you to create. Steam link
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties / Wednesday 11 February
Yakuza Kiwami 3 is an extreme remake of the action-adventure beat 'em up Yakuza 3 featuring ex-yakuza Kazuma Kiryu's fight to protect those he loves. DARK TIES is a brand-new game featuring Yoshitaka Mine from Yakuza 3 included as a separate action-packed experience. Steam link
RIDE 6 / Thursday 12 February
Live the thrill of asphalt and dirt with RIDE 6: affirm your biker identity by joining RIDE Fest, race with 250+ bikes from different categories and prove you're the best by challenging real motorcycling legends. Steam link
High On Life 2 / Friday 13 February
You've done it. You've taken down an intergalactic cartel, brought humanity back from the brink of extinction, and hunted dangerous bounties to the far corners of the galaxy. Bounty hunting has brought you fortune, fame and love; but when a mysterious figure from your past reappears and puts a price on your sister's head, your cushy life gets thrown into chaos. Steam link
Also launching this week: Mewgenics, Romeo is a dead man, Starsand Island and Rogue Point

Nothing for me this week, saving me monies for resident evil 9 requiem later down the week… I think it’s been a good while since I’ve purchased a new game at launch… the remake series have been solid so far in gameplay (cept 3 which was a bit short)

Reanimal would be my pick if Nioh 3 hadn't just released.

Don't really need any new game currently since I'm busy enough with what I'm already playing but High on Life 2 is going on my list to play at some point.
I've had a lot of fun with the first game since I'm someone who finds that kind of messed up humor funny.:laugh:

BlazBlue Entropy Effect was released about 2 years ago. I have had BlazBlue Entropy Effect on Steam since 2023.08 (Early Access) and 91Act released it in 2024.02.15 (my date/time, Japan time). The only release from 91Act for this month (February) will be a new major update for Entropy Effect that adds Entropy Effect X storyline to Entropy Effect in addition to the release of BlazBlue Entropy Effect X on 02.12 (Japan time).

Right, my bad, I actually mixed that one up and didn't notice the release year was 2024 :oops:
BlazBlue Entropy Effect X doesn't come up if you search for it.
I removed the game, as I clearly made a mistake here.

I haven't heard good things about Kiwami 3, if you want to play Yakuza 3 you're better off just getting the 3,4 and 5 remaster trilogy that was released in PS4 era. It includes everything that was cut for original western release. Also, Yakuza 4 is the better game.

Relooted premise is interesting, but after watching some game play Im gonna pass on it. Like the idea of setting up your escape as you are breaking in, but the speedrun out not into.
Event HorizonReanimal would be my pick if Nioh 3 hadn't just released.
Same. Reanimal will just have to wait.

I thought the Starsand Island demo was pretty good, so I'll probably play that with my wife. High on Life 2 is on my list whenever it goes on sale for like 50% off.
