Platform: Nintendo Switch
Release Date: Friday 10th September 2021
The Cheapest Price: $58 with free shipping
The fun and frantic microgame experience returns with WarioWare: Get It Together! It’s a little bit different this time around – each character has their own unique traits – but it still looks to be as kooky and fun as ever.
Tales of Arise
Platform: PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S
Release Date: Friday 10th September 2021

Deathloop has you playing as Colt, an assassin stuck in a time loop on the island of Blackreef. Through investigation and mastery, you’ll have to take down eight targets before the loop resets. We got to play Deathloop last week and it’s shaping up to be a huge win for Arkane fans.

Death Stranding: Director’s Cut
Platform: PlayStation 5
Release Date: Friday 24th September 2021
The Cheapest Price: $68 with free shipping
While we liked it, Death Stranding was one of the most divisive PlayStation exclusives. Now, with the game making the jump to PlayStation 5, players can expect a whole bunch of new stuff with the Director’s Cut – including equipment to make your journey a little bit more enjoyable.

Release Date: Tuesday September 28th 2021
A turn-based strategy first-person shooter, Lemnis Gate takes place in a time loop. Each player has a 25-second turn to setup their attack, but five times across five different loops. It sounds confusing, but also intriguing, almost like Super Time Force, so it’ll be exciting to see where this one goes.
