Alisa is a homage to the classic survival horror games of the 90s, with a twisted story, creepy enemies, and challenging puzzles. The game is a genuine throwback to PS1 and N64 style gaming - complete with pre-rendered backgrounds, a whopping 480p resolution (with the ability to render in an even more amazing 240p being investigated), and fixed camera angles. For player comfort, the choice between classic tank controls or modern control styles is available in-game.
Originally developed in Unity 5 - an extremely old version of the popular engine, almost a decade old - Alisa required the use of several engine and technological innovations to make the game compatible with modern console systems. The game runs faithfully to the original on all platforms, and the port team is proud of the result. This Developer's Cut contains all updates and new content previously added to the PC version, as well as numerous fixes and quality-of-life optimizations.
Alisa's features:
Classic Survival Horror gameplay
Real pre-rendered backgrounds and authentic low-poly models presented in a mindblowing 480p
Currency, items, and outfits with unique player stats boosts
Weapon load-outs, ranging from a sabre to a blunderbuss to an SMG
A large variety of enemies and locations with surprises around every corner!
Choice between modern or classic tank-controls movement styles
A weird sense of humour
A nostalgic trip to the late 1990s, right down to the voice acting
Alisa is available for Xbox One, Xbox X|S, PlayStation 4|5, and Nintendo Switch.

Developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. Games under the Portkey Games label, Hogwarts Legacy allows players to experience life as a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry like never before, as they live the unwritten and embark on a dangerous journey to uncover a hidden truth of the wizarding world.
In Hogwarts Legacy, actor Simon Pegg plays Phineas Nigellus Black, the cantankerous Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. From a long lineage of Slytherins, Headmaster Black is hated by the students, of whom he also has a great disdain for. Wildly ill-suited to his job, his goal is to do the least amount of work possible and avoid exposure to the student body – preferring to focus on his status in the wizarding world and his surgically manicured beard.
As fifth-year students entering Hogwarts for the first time, Sebastian Croft and Amelia Gething play the two voice options for the game’s playable avatar, which can be highly customized, enabling players to choose the witch or wizard they want to be.
Just For Games and development studio Storybird Studio has announced that their upcoming action game Ganryu 2 will be available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC on April 22nd.
Ganryu 2 is the sequel to the Ganryu game made by VISCO on NEOGEO back in 1999. The universe takes place in a feudal fantasy Japan which is strongly inspired by the story of Takezo Musashi, whose adventures are unfolded in a series of books (mainly "The Stone and the Sword").
You play as Miyamoto Musashi travelling through a 17th century fantasy Japan, from north to south to the island of Ganryu-jima where everything started between Musashi and Kojiro.
After his victory against Kojiro, Musashi decided to meditate and try his hand at art, in the north of Japan, in the province of Hokkaido. During one of his meditations, a spirit contacted him : "Miyamoto Musashi, our fight is not over, I am waiting for you to finish our fight once and for all! All of Japan will pay for your insult! I'm waiting for you Miyamoto Musashi!”
There is no doubt for Musashi that the voice was the Sasaki Kojirō’s one. His body was defeated, but his spirit remains, and his intentions are still destructive. Miyamoto Musashi then understood that he would have to travel across Japan from north to south and go to the island of Ganryû-jima, where he firstly defeated Sasaki Kojirō, to fight again and liberate the spirit of Kojiro forever.
Ganryu 2 features:
A hack'n'slash game inspired by the story of Takezo Musashi “The Stone And The Sword” released in 1930’s by Eiji Yoshikawa and which is one of the most famous story and real samurai in Japan!
