Hello again, gamers! Considering the slow, sporadic release schedule often associated with this time of the year, we hope you'll forgive us for not having any new release posts to offer for the past couple months. We have a pretty solid dozen for you now though, starting with this week's most notable release, Nier: Replicant. Essentially a remake of the somewhat-unremarkable 2010 original, this new version of Nier features the welcome additions of improved graphics and gameplay, as well as new story content that provides a plot link to the very popular 2017 series entry, Nier: Automata.
Also out in the last two months, the fourth installment to Falcom's excellent Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel series; a console release of the critically-acclaimed 2019 PC hit, Disco Elysium; and a brand new Switch-exclusive (for now) entry in Capcom's beloved Monster Hunter franchise. (Re-)experience a tale of love and despair, then jump past the break to see more new releases from the last 56 days.
