New Releases: Nov. 27-Dec. 3, 2025

This week brings a mix of headliners, revivals, and quirky indies. Leading the charge is the retro brawling of MARVEL Cosmic Invasion, while Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare offer a chance to revisit the old west.

Rob’s pick: This week, Effulgence RPG delivers a party-based role-playing game with a twist: the visuals are made of fluid, colorful ASCII characters. At about 90 minutes, it’s going to be a brief experience and could reveal some Early Access-bound blemishes, but it channels that era when you a game’s visual made you harness your imagination. I’m not saying I need every game to embrace abstract art, but I do get tired of games attempting an accurate depiction of a visual reality. Give me Dreams of Another but without the shambling walking speed.

I never neglect to include retro gaming as part of my media diet. As such, I’d love to play PICROSS S CAPCOM CLASSICS and PICROSS S SNK CLASSICS & NEOGEO, basking in all the obscure refences. But here’s the thing: I can’t play PICROSS for too long before I need a break. I think played way too much Mario’s Picross as a kid and was never quite right after.

Ryan’s pick: MARVEL Cosmic Invasion wins this week as I absolutely loved X-Men and Captain America and the Avengers in the arcades and this beat’em up allows me to enjoy a brand-new game with some of the same characters from that universe. In the past I’ve struggled with the beat’em up genre in that once I cleared the game for the first time it was hard to do another playthrough, but with the tag-team system and online multiplayer I can see a reason to want to play this one through with multiple characters.

Death in Abyss gets a brief nod this week as well as it captures the visual flair of the PS1 3D games but with a much faster frame rate to make a new unique shooter. The sheer speed of the enemies and maneuverability of the ship are pretty impressive, and I think that’s what originally caught my eye with the game. I think that it may have a bit of a learning curve, but this one is pretty unique and could be a good choice if you like shooters. A quick note is that the game’s setting is in the deep sea, so if you have thalassophobia, please proceed with caution.

Matt S’ pick (editor, DigitallyDownloaded): I’m quite interested in checking out Let It Die: Inferno. Despite being a “free” to play game, I quite enjoyed the original, which had Goichi Suda’s flair for the grindhouse in a neat little hardcore roguelike loop. If this new one deals with the microtransactions by being a “premium” release, then I could see myself spending a lot of time with it.

For something very indie, I’m also keen on checking out Crescent Tower, which looks set to provide pure old school dungeon crawling and… not much else. Sometimes that’s all you need.
