00:00:00.059 --> 00:00:01.890
(gentle music)

2
00:00:01.890 --> 00:00:04.770
- Hey, it's Jen. Welcome to
"Kotaku's Week In Games".

3
00:00:04.770 --> 00:00:07.965
Here are our picks for what
to check out this week.

4
00:00:07.965 --> 00:00:10.548
(upbeat music)

5
00:00:11.437 --> 00:00:13.020
"Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown".

6
00:00:13.020 --> 00:00:16.057
This is the first mainline
entry in the series since 2010.

7
00:00:16.057 --> 00:00:19.500
"Prince of Persia: The Lost
Crown" is a 2.5D Metroidvania,

8
00:00:19.500 --> 00:00:21.060
where you play a Sargon,

9
00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:23.310
a young warrior tasked
with rescuing the royal

10
00:00:23.310 --> 00:00:25.470
from a cursed city chock full of baddies.

11
00:00:25.470 --> 00:00:27.240
Inspired by Persian mythology.

12
00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:29.250
Hat tip to Ubisoft for
shipping "Lost Crown"

13
00:00:29.250 --> 00:00:31.710
with a robust suite of
accessibility options,

14
00:00:31.710 --> 00:00:32.610
like a guided mode,

15
00:00:32.610 --> 00:00:34.740
to make all that Metroidvania backtracking

16
00:00:34.740 --> 00:00:36.667
a little less frustrating.

17
00:00:36.667 --> 00:00:38.190
"Prince of Persia: Lost Crown"

18
00:00:38.190 --> 00:00:41.190
is available on all modern platforms.

19
00:00:41.190 --> 00:00:43.800
Next up, "Turnip Boy Robs A Bank".

20
00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:46.957
Apparently unsatisfied
after the crimes of 2021's

21
00:00:46.957 --> 00:00:49.230
"Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion",

22
00:00:49.230 --> 00:00:51.420
our titular turnip has upped the ante,

23
00:00:51.420 --> 00:00:54.060
now robbing banks in this
top-down shooter sequel

24
00:00:54.060 --> 00:00:55.980
with rogue-lite elements.

25
00:00:55.980 --> 00:00:59.160
Up next, we've got
"Palworld", Pokemon with guns.

26
00:00:59.160 --> 00:01:00.480
Do I have your attention?

27
00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:02.160
That's the premise behind "Palworld",

28
00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:04.290
which releases in early access this week.

29
00:01:04.290 --> 00:01:09.290
Fill out your pokey, I mean
paldex, with more than 100 pals

30
00:01:09.330 --> 00:01:11.850
in this open-world
survival and crafting game.

31
00:01:11.850 --> 00:01:14.970
If you've been itching to
shoot Pikachu with an AK-47,

32
00:01:14.970 --> 00:01:17.820
your time has come at last, sickos.

33
00:01:17.820 --> 00:01:20.167
A surprise reveal from
the last Nintendo Direct.

34
00:01:20.167 --> 00:01:21.750
"Another Code: Recollection"

35
00:01:21.750 --> 00:01:24.420
contains two graphically
enhanced mystery adventures,

36
00:01:24.420 --> 00:01:26.040
including one that's never been released

37
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:27.630
in North America before.

38
00:01:27.630 --> 00:01:29.910
It's safe to assume
these Nintendo DS remakes

39
00:01:29.910 --> 00:01:31.290
will nix the motion controls

40
00:01:31.290 --> 00:01:34.203
while leaning fully into
the chill puzzle vibes.

41
00:01:35.197 --> 00:01:37.350
"The Last Of Us Part II" is back, baby,

42
00:01:37.350 --> 00:01:40.230
and it's just as depressing as ever.

43
00:01:40.230 --> 00:01:42.510
Only this time, it's
also prettier than ever

44
00:01:42.510 --> 00:01:45.300
'cause it's got new Next-Gen
graphical enhancements.

45
00:01:45.300 --> 00:01:47.040
This time around, we've also got the new

46
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.470
survival roguelike mode, no return,

47
00:01:49.470 --> 00:01:50.880
and a director's commentary

48
00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:52.230
where you can hear from Neil Druckmann

49
00:01:52.230 --> 00:01:54.510
and the rest of the Naughty
Dog team while you play.

50
00:01:54.510 --> 00:01:55.740
That'll do it for this week.

51
00:01:55.740 --> 00:01:57.690
Which games are you looking
forward to trying out?
