Return to Monkey Island and The Diofield Chronicle headline this week’s lineup of new video games.
A jam-packed week of new video game releases begins with the latest entry in Ron Gibert’s beloved point-and-click adventure series. Return to Monkey Island sees Guybrush Threepwood – once again voiced by Dominic Armato – revisit iconic locations and mysterious new locales, including Brr Muda and Terror Island.
This year’s onslaught of mid-tier Square Enix RPGs also continues with The DioField Chronicle. The game’s visual treatment isn’t as appealing as the 2D-HD trappings of Octopath Traveler or Triangle Strategy, but the XCOM-style tactical battle system looks like a winner. A free demo is available on all platforms.
Meanwhile, Xbox Series X|S players can finally get their hands on Arkane Lyon’s amazing Deathloop. In our review, Aaron Bayne called it “the absolute pinnacle of game design”. Recommendations don’t come much higher than that.
Other new video games include SpiderHeck, DreamWorks Dragons: Legends of The Nine Realms, and Jack Move.
