Greetings, gamers! May was a good month, so let’s get to it!
Sand Land (for the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 4) is a rated T roleplaying action game based on the manga created by the late Akira Toriyama. You don’t need to be familiar with the manga to understand the game, so go on an adventure with main character Beelzebub and his friends and have a good time!
Sea of Stars, rated E 10+, was released in physical format (PlayStation 4, Switch). A turn-based roleplaying game, players control two characters- one controls the power of the sun, the other controls the power of the moon. Together, they travel to confront (and hopefully defeat) an alchemist that creating monsters across the land. It’s received very good reviews and is considered a good “retro-style” RPG worth checking out.
TopSpin 2K25 arrived for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and is a rated E tennis game. The previous game in this series came out in 2003, so many fans were excited for a new development. If you’re a tennis fan, the “MyCareer” option and individual character creation was praised, as well as having a training mode to help players learn the controls.
Girl Genius : adventures in Castle Heterodyne (Rated T) for the Switch also came in. Players assume the eponymous girl genius, named Agatha, as she explores Castle Heterodyne (her ancestral home). Build, battle, and explore the castle and help Agatha take back her throne! The game is loosely based off the Girl Genius graphic novel series, which is worth checking out!
Switch game Graphic novel series vol 1
The Nintendo Switch port of Biomutant (rated T) dropped as well! Biomutant is an open-world action roleplaying game in which players take the form of an animal warrior and explore a world of mutated animals while trying to save the Tree of Life.
Just as a reminder for those of you interested in checking out our new games- you must have a Willoughby-Eastlake Library card and have had it for at least 30 days. The new games are 14-day loans and are NOT renewable. Also, with our new games you can only have 2 at a time checked out on your card. Our not as new games (which are holdable and renewable) you can have more of- if you’re not over your 50-item limit!
Until the next level,
Miss Bryn
