New Releases: December 26 – January 1st

Traditionally, the last week of the year is a meager time for new releases. The final, few remaining calendar days of the twenty-teens seems to validate that trait, with far fewer games than usual. Sure, there’s a few mildly familiar titles, with a pair of Deponia games coming to Switch and a three-dimensional action-adventure game crafted from former Rare developers. But largely, it’s seems like an ideal week to chip away at backlogs that have swollen from a deluge of holiday releases.

  1. No one picked Roombo: First Blood? C’mon lads!

  2. Robert is chasing after the furry audience?

  3. This week’s new releases feel like the equivalent of “Cats” complete with scary looking human/animal face.

  4. I can’t figure out what Gunma’s Ambition it supposed to be about. I asked my Dad, who is from Japan. He looked gave a smile, and didn’t say anything. I’m counting on your, Robert.

  5. Bring back the nice looking header pics, please.
