PSN Weekly: Week of 8/22/2016

Special Mentions For Our Audience

Alone With You – PS4, PS Vita Digital

This game advertises itself as a Sci-Fi Romance Adventure Game. What that exactly means, your guess is as good as mine. But the aesthetic certainly has my attention, and it looks like it is a call back to the adventure games of old.

Armikrog – PS4 Digital

Due to growing up in the 1980’s, I will always have a soft spot for claymation style animation. And that love has continued with more modern entries in both film and video games, such as Wallace & Gromit and also Earthworm Jim. This is by some of the developers of the latter, so they definitely have my interest.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided – PS4 Digital, Retail

Deus Ex is a powerful name in the PC gaming world, the original is considered a true classic. The recent version of a few years ago was generally well received, but had some polarizing reactions. Some of those who reacted the most negatively were the fans of the original. Now we have a chance to see what lessons they learned with this sequel.

Inside – PS4 Digital

It was a bit shocking to see Playdead release Inside so quickly after the XBox One release. It took quite a bit longer for Limbo to come to other systems. But when you look at the console sales figures, it’s fairly easy to see why.

The King of Fighters XIV – PS4 Digital, Retail

I was initially very tepid on this release, both despite and because of how much I loved The King of Fighters XIII. I originally did not like the direction this title was going. However, as the game development went along it kept on getting better and better. Now it’s a fighting game that I absolutely must own.
