{Disarmed} 13 must-have premieres and releases for the weekend: Reminiscence , See , Psychonauts 2 , Swamp Thing and more
August gives its last death throes and publishers, distributors and companies begin to prepare the first launches of the new course . But that does not mean that until the avalanche begins we will be unoccupied, no. On the contrary. We have premieres, reissues, new series, highly anticipated video games and much more entertainment for the weekend.
'Reminiscence'
Preceded by a spectacular disaster at the US box office , 'Reminiscence' is still an estimable piece of science fiction noir that recovers the depressing and overloaded atmosphere of classics such as 'Blade Runner' or 'Level 13' . Lisa Joy, co-creator of the television ' Westworld ', turns Hugh Jackman into a paid souvenir retriever who is more involved in the life of one of his clients, Rebecca Ferguson. Great setting in a post-climate change Miami for a film already surrounded by a certain halo of curse.

'Candyman'
The eighties horror classic directed by Bernard Rose and based on a story by Clive Barker finds here a clever new version of Nia DaCosta, which accentuates the already quite notorious racial component of the original film and brings panic to urban legends. morbid that made the murderer of the rusty hook famous. This time the protagonists are an artist and his partner who move into a luxury apartment in a neighborhood that was once destined to overcrowding the lower classes ... and the crimes begin.

'See' T2
The first season of 'See' went somewhat unnoticed with the launch of Apple TV +, when it was a platform with a very scarce catalog. Some time later, the platform has grown and has gained fame for the quality and originality of its proposals, which rival its direct competitors in the media: it is time to continue with this post-apocalyptic fiction in which the entire population has gone blind into wild environments , and it is time for one of the tribal leaders, Jason Momoa, to confront his renegade brother, played by Dave Bautista.

'Aliens: Fireteam Elite'
Inspired by the James Cameron film and retaining all its anti-xenomorphic adrenaline action, this third-person cooperative action title erases the bad memory of almost all the latest video game installments that face marines and aliens. The environment is, of course, an abandoned ship and plagued by space bugs, which add 20 types of enemies , 11 variants of the xenomorphs and four different and independent stories in the campaign mode, each with three missions to cover.

'Psychonauts 2'
The new of the historical Double Fine is the sequel to one of their classic games, that exclusive 'Psychonauts' from the first Xbox that surprised locals and strangers in 2005 with its mix of action, platforms and adventure, all seasoned with the typical humor from the inimitable Tim Schafer.

And we continue with our eyes set on the classics: 1993 is the first 'Myst', a classic fish tank puzzle that now arrives in a retreaded version for PC and all Xbox, also entering directly into Game Pass . 'Myst' is a conglomeration of almost unsolvable puzzles and exploration of disturbingly paradisiacal places, which also brings an extra novelty: the possibility of playing with Oculus on its PC version.
- Available for PC and Xbox
'No More Heroes 3'
And we end our recovery-of-classics-or-not-so-classics round with the third part of a series that started in the distant days of the Wii to take advantage of the console's motion controls a bit either way . Another crazy idea of that Kojima from series B that is Suda 51, and that now prolongs the adventures of Travis Touchdown in Santa Destroy a decade after the second installment. Wacky enemies, insane sandbox build and gore in abundance, that is, good old 'No More Heroes' as always.
- Available for Nintendo Switch
