On Shelves This Week - Image 1


Lost Odyssey Mistwalker - Image 1We're going to get a pretty well-rounded batch of releases this week (check out last week's release here), from RPGs to RPG makers, epic remakes of classic games, a whodunnit title, and much much more. We're going to see a new noteworthy addition to the horror gaming library, such as Penumbra: Black Plague. But perhaps we can safely say that the shining star this time around is...

Lost Odyssey. Play as Kaim, the immortal man sentenced to live for a thousand years, and subsequently witness the deaths of all his closest friends, all of whom he outlived. Lost Odyssey's story revolves around Kaim, the generations he bore witness to, and the mystical industrial revolution.
