Wanted: A week that is anywhere near as dead as my Twitter account.
Forget a busy week, Tuesday alone would be enough to break most of us. There's the ultimate indie game - a randomly generated exploration platformer - in Dead Cells, or maybe you'd like to tackle the multiplayer mayhem of Overcooked 2. Flipping Death has been long anticipated, and there's something called Super Blackjack Battle II Turbo coming out on the heels of EVO 2018.
The rest of the week offers a couple of its own big hitters in Okami HD - which should be good for about 60 hours on its own - and the much faster-paced take on Zelda in Minit. Based on Hamster's schedule, the Archives release of the week should be the fourth Metal Slug shooter.
In Japan, we've got a Switch version of the Layton's Mystery Journey game of last year, a Jake Hunter Detective title, and even Darkest Dungeon is coming over.
