Wallet threat level: something for everyone?

, | Games

The variety of this week’s releases should pose a widespread and possibly extreme threat to wallets. We could be experiencing condition red! Suda51 returns with a new level of absurdity in Romeo is a Dead Man, a time travelling action adventure through different eras. Disciples also returns with the fourth game in the turn-based fantasy strategy series. Mewgenics is a well-reviewed turn-based battlecat showdown with, uh, tactical breeding. Relooted promises archeological reconstruction in a puzzle-heist in which Africans liberate artifacts from the Western museums that have arguably stolen them. Log Riders looks like a really fun co-op platformer about you and your partner reaching a goal. Will Nintendo’s Mario Tennis Fever come up with more of the special abilities that make tennis fun for everyone? Can an “extreme” Yakuza 3 remake bundled with a new Dark Tides adventure incentivize people to revisit a hoary Playstation 3 title? Will High on Life 2 draw you back into a world of talking guns and crazy Rick & Morty universe aliens?

But wait, there’s more!
