This week, we’re right on schedule with our game release roundup, and surprisingly, there’s a lot hitting the shelves. Last week, we overlooked a few releases which tipped the scales, setting a new record with 79 titles in North America, closely followed by 78 releases in Europe.
As this week unfolds, we’re already swamped. North America alone kicks things off with a hefty 52 new entries. The notable highlight is "Farmagia," an ambitious venture from XSEED/Marvelous aiming to elevate the farm simulator genre. Not feeling the pastoral vibe? Fear not, you’re covered with a choice among the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy, a freshly remastered "Shadows of the Damned," or a dive into nostalgia with a remake of the original "Clock Tower."
