The Saints come marching in along with the rest of this week’s new PS5, PS4 games, but what if you’re not a fan of wanton destruction and potty humour? There’s plenty more hitting the store this week, so worry not.
If age is catching up to you and you’re starting to feel the grey matter between your hairy, elongated ears going mushy, give yourself the ultimate ego-boost by taking on virtual 5th graders in trivia quizzes with Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, which is out Tuesday. Be warned: your self esteem could suffer if you get ruined by digital kids in a game of mental prowess, and that’s why none of us here will be playing.
The popular MMO Path of Exile is getting yet another expansion this Wednesday with Path of Exile: Lake of Kalandra, and it promises to add all sorts of new goodies to the game. New weapons, gear, enemies – you name it, you’ll find it with this new Path of Exile update.
And the final highlight has got to be Pac-Man’s big swing back into the gaming concsiousness with Pac-Man World: Re-Pac, a complete remake of the PS One original. If you have fond memories of chowing down Opal Fruits while guiding Pac-Man on his quest for munch, this is sure to be a hit.
Here’s what’s coming to PlayStation this week:
