From the full-on remake of the 25-year-old classic RPG, Trials of Mana, to the recently released DLC of the frantic looter-shooter, Borderlands 3. This week we continue to bring you the very best in must play games while practicing social distancing!
Trials of Mana (PC, PS4, Nintendo Switch)
Originally known as Seiken Densetsu 3, Trials of Mana is a remake of the 25-year-old RPG classic by Square (now Square Enix), and the third installment in the Secret of Mana series. Although it never officially released to western audiences, this week the long-awaited sequel finally comes to Nintendo Switch and PS4 with a full 3D remake. Notable features include a complete graphics overhaul, voiced over characters, a remastered soundtrack, and more!
Predator: Hunting Grounds (PC, PS4)
Hunt or be hunted in Predator: Hunting Grounds! An asymmetrical multiplayer shooter in which you play as a member of an elite Fireteam. In PHG you have to complete a set of operations all while the Predator stalks and hunts you down one by one. Whether you are the hunter or prey you can customize your class and loadout with tons of options to best suit your team or hunt.
Persona 5 Royal (PS4)
The 6th installment in the Persona series, Persona 5 became an instant classic when it was released in April of 2017. If you’re a fan of RPG’s chances are that you’ve already played this masterpiece and if you haven’t there’s no better time than now! Recently released, Persona 5 Royal takes this masterpiece to a whole new level by adding loads of new content. From an all-new party member, new story elements, a whole new location, new enemies, armor, accessories, personas, and more! Persona 5 Royal is the definitive way to experience Persona 5.
Borderlands 3 – Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock (DLC) (PC, Xbox, PS4)
Gearbox Software just released its second of four campaign add-on DLCs for Borderlands 3’s Season Pass. With Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright and Hammerlock comes a level cap increase that raíses your Vault Hunter’s level to 57. This new campaign is set during the engagement party celebration of Sir Alistair Hammerlock and Wainwright Jakobs. Travel to the newly available Xylourgos and face new enemies, find new skins, and of course, loot enough weapons to keep you busy until the next episode!
Exit the Gungeon (PC, Xbox, PS4, Nintendo Switch)
If you’ve ever experienced the fast-paced rogue-like bullet-hell shooter that is Enter the Gungeon then you should feel almost at home here. Exit the Gungeon takes the top-down perspective of the original and flips it on its side. Literally. You now find yourself in a sidescroller perspective where you instead climb out of the dungeon instead of going into it. The game is still very much a Gungeon game at its core, but the slight changes are enough to make it feel brand new.
