The Week In Games: A Bounty Of Definitive Editions And Collections

This week has a great mix of definitive editions and newcomers. Get ready to revisit your favorites and discover new games that you might, one day, yearn to be ported to your then-current favorite console.

In the world of definitive, this-is-the-good-version games, we’ve got Dragon’s Crown, Hitman, and Hyrule Warriors all reminding us that they exist and that they’re just as good as whatever the heck you’re playing right now. And, well, they’re not wrong. I can’t think of a game that I have enjoyed at a gut level more than Hitman since I played through it over a couple glorious weeks last year.

There are also lots of collections coming out this week and next, including the Framed Collection and a bunch of Mega Man games that many of us could probably lose an entire day going down a nostalgia hole with.

In the land of new things that you haven’t tried before, there’s things like Omensight or even the video game adaptation of Henry David Thoreau’s Walden. I bet that it is very relaxing. I’m not sure if it’s a survival game with crafting, but I think it should be, even if Thoreau didn’t do all that much surviving or crafting on his own.

In any case, there’s lots of interesting stuff coming out this week, and you can check out the full list below.
