Cette semaine dans les jeux (Semaine 32)

Welcome to the first week of August and for those of you living in the Nordics, welcome back to work after a month of holiday. This week’s major release is based on a manga that became an anime hit on Netflix that involves bouncy things. This is followed by retro fields, a Scottish game that has neither kilts nor bagpipes, a rather different take on Warhammer 40K, a creature centric game, a steamy heist sequel, pirate cats and a kingdom of rats. No huge releases this week either, but still a pretty solid line-up of new games.
