It's hardly a vintage week for new releases in the PlayStation Nation, with all eyes pointed purposefully at Gamescom 2015 rather than Sony's storefront. Still, there are a handful of smaller digital downloads vying for your attention in the guise of Galak-Z and Submerged. The question is: what are you buyin'?
Pick of the Week: Galak-Z
Originally part of PlayStation's iconic E3 2013 indie eight, Galak-Z's taken its sweet time jetting onto the PlayStation Store. However, the 17-BIT developed sci-fi shooter is finally ready for blast-off, and is subsequently our Pick of the Week. Inspired by old-school anime and the retro games of yore, this is a roguelike played from the cockpit of a souped up spacecraft.
While the game looks like your average shmup, it's actually been compared to the likes of Halo and Far Cry. Indeed, complex AI patterns and environmental hazards mean that you'll need to carefully plan your approach in combat – or risk paying the price. Despite these underlying complexities, the title's defined by its tight controls and slick visual effects. Plus, it's got a great name.

I'm interested in Submerged but feel it will be on PS+ sooner rather then later.
@Splat I know what you mean. I'm also really interested in it, but it's one of those games that could go wrong. Kell's working on our review right now, so hopefully it's good.
What is week 2 of the summer sale start.
@andrew20 I assume it'll be on Wednesday.
Another awful week for Vita, accentuated by the fact Galak-Z isn't coming to handheld after all. Such a shame
Never mind, I may well end up grabbing it on PS4 regardless – depending on how it reviews.
@Splat I hear you, buddy. Think I'll try to resist Submerged, too. Emphasis on the 'try' though! 😉
Submerged, just started ether, it ain't great.
Isn't Bedlam that quirky shooter that's got different style of graphics?
Galak-Z all the way. Mechs and space fights!
Yeah I'm sort of intrigued by Bedlam. I'll wait for reviews of course, but it's an interesting idea.
I was quite hoping that Galak Z was going to be on plus so I'll wait for a sale.
Galak-Z is one of my most hyped games as of now, so bring it on!!!!
Galak-Z is a must! And I'm really intrigued by Submerged. Look forward to reading the review of it.
Pre ordered Galak-Z, downloaded yesterday, just got home from work, lking forward to playing.
