Games out this week include One Piece: Romance Dawn (3DS), a role-playing game based on the largely inscrutable anime series; Power Rangers Megaforce (3DS), a disastrous and repetitious mess of a game featuring the mysteriously popular Lycra-and-crash-helmet-wearers; Lego Friends (DS, 3DS) is the interactive version of Lego's purple-hued, gender stereotype-reinforcing range, with enough pony riding and hair styling to make you vomit rainbows; and Young Justice: Legacy (X360, PS3, Wii, DS, 3DS) is a generic beat-'em-up designed to cash in on the DC Comics TV series. Freshly minted PlayStation 4 owners will also be looking forward to the definitive console versions of the excellent Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and the slightly more middling Call Of Duty: Ghosts and Battlefield 4, along with entertaining and family friendly Lego Marvel Super Heroes.

• This article was amended on 4 December 2013. An earlier version referred to Lego's purple-hewn, rather than purple-hued, range.
