PSN Weekly: Week of 10/17/2016

Special Mentions For Our Audience

The Bug Butcher – PS4 Digital

This is a very cute and stylish 2D platforming shooter. With the name, you might think this is a game about exterminators, or using insects for food (like much of the world does). But these bugs are more like the Starship Troopers variety. You might want to eat them, before they eat you.

Exist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky – PS4, PS Vita Digital, Retail

This new sidescrolling RPG arrives this week from Aksys Games and Spike Chunsoft for both handheld and console. Expect our review of the PS4 version to post pretty soon, and I’ve also been really enjoying the PS Vita version. This is a very beautiful game, especially for handheld, and so far it’s been really fun.

HoPiKo – PS4 Digital

I have no idea what that name even means. But the game itself is very stylish. While it looks like a shooter at first, it’s actually a very fast paced puzzle platformer.

Mordheim: City of the Damned – PS4 Digital

This turn based tactical RPG is based on the Mordheim tabletop game. This is a specific area of the Warhammer Worlds that reminds me a bit of Ravenloft from AD&D.

Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls – PS Vita Digital, Retail

Steve reviewed this game for us, and it finally releases this week. Check out his review here to have a more informed opinion of whether to buy this game. But for me, it’s the Nep girls, and I’m already in.
