Welcome to what is technically the last week of August and we have a week packed with new releases, several coming from known franchises. We kick off the week in a galaxy far, far away with some turned-based tactics, as this week’s major release. The week’s regular lineup starts with a survival-adventure onboard a very famous ship and we quickly go from there back into space, but this time with some xenomorphs involved. Next up we have some anime-inspired turn-based strategy, followed by a prequel to a 2019 hit game and finally we round off the week with an old school metroidvania type hack and slash game. Check out this week’s other releases for some more franchise action and more.
