Gravity Rush 2 reviews were strong, which bodes well for its headline position this week. The first game, originally a Vita exclusive later remastered for PS4, was a very special affair, but didn’t go mega. Let’s hope its relatively quiet release window changes that this time around.

On 3DS, look for an enhanced port of Dragon Quest 8, one of the many under-appreciated entries in the “other” Square Enix RPG franchise, as well as the much-love Punch Club.

There’s a lot going on in indie land, especially if you’re yet to check out The Flame in the Flood, a procedurally generated survival craft ’em up set on a raging river, and 2064: Read Only Memories, a retro-styled point and click about AI, identity and solving cyberpunk mysteries with your robot companion.

As always, PlayStation Store release dates may vary depending on region.
