Hello 12/12 readers. For far too long now we have been much too infrequent with what was initially supposed to be weekly articles highlighting the latest new game releases on the PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop, and Steam. At the same time, we've been completely ignoring other great platforms like the Xbox Games Store and GOG. We would like to apologize for that. In an effort to simultaneously remedy all of these glaring issues, starting today we will be switching to a new all-encompassing article, simply titled, The Weekly New Game Releases. And, yes, we are going to try to stick to a weekly frequency this time.
For our first article in this new format, we will be covering all of the big new releases from just this past week, including the arguable highlight, NFS: Heat. Though likely very similar to its 2017 predecessor, this new Need For Speed entry does feature a few key differences such as the exclusion of loot boxes, the inclusion of Ferraris, and a brand new dynamic weather system. Plus, it's a new Need For Speed so it's got to be at least some fun to play, right?
Also out this past week, Layton's Mystery Journey for the Switch; Death Stranding for the PlayStation 4; and another River City (Ransom) game for multiple platforms. Be unruly, be expressive, then jump past the break to see these new releases, in addition to a few others that we were several weeks overdue posting about.
