We're back! This time we're looking at Lost Orbit from PixelNauts - you can pick up the game on PlayStation 4, and Steam. It's a twitch, speed "floater" in space - we did a recent video (and make sure to subscribe on Youtube).

Coming close to the anniversary of the games release, For Honor will have its 5th season - titled Age of Wolves - on February 15th on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. You can check out the trailer below:
For Honor will also implement dedicated servers - which was a big deal to some gamers when the game released a year ago:
Age of Wolves will also herald the implementation of a dedicated server infrastructure. By changing the way you connect to For Honor matches, the development team is doing away with resyncing, session migrations, and NAT requirements in order to deliver stable connectivity on all platforms.
You can check out all the details on the Ubisoft Blog.

Building off of last week - we have round two of Throwback Thursday, and this time the first video/Let's Play which you can check out here (and below).
The Castle Game is a RTS-lite fantasy game from Neptune Interactive. Originally planned to also release on Wii U, and Steam, it only graced the PlayStation 4 but was one of my favourite games from 2015. I really enjoyed the colours, the sounds, and the kind of laid back approach it took to the genre. It's not hardcore, and the concepts are simple - which was perfect for someone who was never much of an RTS fan.
The Castle Game posted a respectable 68 on Metacritic, and was helped by our good friends at Clapfoot Studios, the makers of Fortified, and Foxhole. You can get it on PlayStation 4 right here (and btw it's a fairly easy platinum). Until next time!
OK K.O! Let's Play Heroes, the Capybara developed brawler in partnership with the Cartoon Network Show is out now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam. You can check out the trailer for the game below:

Released earlier last year on Steam, indie developer Will O'Neill is brining his latest game Little Red Lie to PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita - better yet the game is releasing today (January 9th)
Little Red Lie is a narrative-focused, interactive fiction experience that reduces the traditional nine-verb adventure game structure down to a single, context-dependent interaction: lie.
It is the truth: LITTLE RED LIE comes to PS4 and PS Vita on January 9th! https://t.co/ITG9I3Kq8h via @Playstation
