Lollipop Chainsaw was released earlier this year to a mixed reception on modern consoles due to its poor technical state.

The original Animal Crossing Pocket Camp may have shut down, but you can still keep playing it thanks to its re-release in the form of Pocket Camp Complete. The new edition will be playable offline with no DLCs. Those who played the old version can transfer their progress to the new one by linking their Nintendo account. You can buy the game for $9.99 until January 30, 2025, after which the price will revert to $19.99. Animal Crossing Pocket Camp Complete releases on December 3, 2024 on Android and iOS.

Antonblast may look like Wario Land, but it is a different beast. The 2D side-scrolling action platformer stars Anton, a very angry destruction worker hell-bent on dashing through the city to take revenge on Satan. Antonblast releases on December 3 on PC and Nintendo Switch, and you can check out his fury early with its free demo.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered

The new collection features updated (but toggleable) graphics, new textures, a photo mode, new control options, and extra content like concept art, "Lost Levels" and an interactive lore map.
