Blur the line between life and death in Oninaki. Tokyo RPG Factory’s newest game casts you as a Watcher, tasked with helping usher the souls of the departed into their next life. The Square Enix-published JRPG launches Thursday on PS4.
If you’re looking for something a bit stranger, Double Fine’s Rad lands on Tuesday. The new roguelike adventure encourages players to harness the mutagenic powers of the post-apocalypse post-apocalypse (not a typo) to brave the dangers of an unforgiving wasteland. Sounds rad.
For a full list of new games coming to PlayStation next week, read on. And enjoy The Drop!
