New games releasing this week: April 3 – April 9

4.6

Persona 5 is this week’s headline act, which makes it pretty amusing that for some reason Amazon UK hasn’t got its act together in terms of proper listing. Time to patronise your local high street chain or favourite online retailer. Persona 5 reviews have been enormously positive and Alex called it the best JRPG in a decade, which is a heck of a call – especially from him.

The other major release this week is the digital only Drawn to Death, an online multiplayer shooter from David Jaffe, who gave us Twisted Metal and God of War.

If you’re keen on remasters, there are two good ones this week. PaRappa the Rapper is finally back in action on modern hardware, and we expect its cartoon stylings to make the transition with grace. Meanwhile, Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition gives you another chance to check out one of the most interesting FPS titles of the last generation; unfortunately, Bulletstorm’s excellent gameplay was overshadowed at release by marketing focused on its humour.
