We hope you like ports and space, because this week’s biggest releases fall into one of those two categories. You also have a chance to rev up your lancer in Gears of War 4 for the first time, thanks to a beta.

This week brings the long-awaited arrival of Metroid homage Axiom Verge on Vita. Klei’s Invisible, Inc., a tactical stealth game, arrives on PlayStation 4.

For those looking to the stars, Nintendo brings Star Fox Zero to market this week. And if it’s something a bit darker (perhaps with a touch of grim), Battlefleet Gothic: Armada on PC might be for you.
