Here’s a quick look back at what slipped through the cracks last week: Namco’s The Quest of Ki from the Vs series popped up in the Archives, but there wasn’t much else that RFN 900 didn’t already cover.
The Horizon series has this peculiar knack for being outshined by big hitters during its launch periods. The original was overshadowed by Breath of the Wild, its sequel was eclipsed by Elden Ring—big titles, albeit not necessarily great ones. Even the remaster of the original got lost in the noise when it dropped alongside the new Dragon Age installment. This week, the spotlight on Lego Horizon Adventures gets somewhat dimmed as Dragon Quest III HD-2D and Tetris Forever share the stage. Willem has already handed in his review of Tetris Forever, and we’re expecting a take on Dragon Quest III HD-2D anytime now.
Keep an eye on these releases this week: Petit Island, which you might recognize if you’ve been watching the Wholesome Direct at a slower pace; a fresh trio of Irem shooters bundled for release; and the EggConsole putting its own spin on the classic Ys title.
