  • Longest Night

    —

    ,

    This is also a supplemental experience to Night in the Woods (like Lost Constellation), except it’s more of a little music experiment. It doesn’t offer a fun story like Lost Constellation, but I enjoyed it for what it is, and the song that plays is a joy to take in – after I was done…

  • Lost Constellation

    ,

    A few weeks ago I bought that big bundle of indie games for charity (over 100 games), and now that it’s the holiday break, I decided to start digging into them. My first pleasant surprise was the Itch.io app, that basically serves as a Steam-like way to deal with your Itch.io-purchased game library. So Lost…

  • The Last Guardian

    Well, it’s here, and as expected, it’s quite something. I’m especially a fan of Ico – I liked Shadow of the Colossus as well, but never finished it – and this so far (about 2-3 hours in) is bringing me back to that original game, feeling like I’m on this journey with a companion I’m…

  • Bravely Second: End Layer

    —

    ,

    I was interested in playing the original Bravely Default game, but never got around to it. I’ve been in an RPG mood of late, and my first instinct was to play that game, but when I checked our company lending library it was already out, and so I decided to go for its sequel, Bravely Second,…

  • Gravity Rush 2 (Demo)

    ,

    I was fully expecting to enjoy this – based on how much I like the first game – but what was especially great to see is just how beautiful it looks. The main character especially looks like a playable cartoon, and the movement is a joy to watch. I think what I enjoy seeing the…

  • Nier: Automata (Demo)

    —

    ,

    Played this the other day, and wow, even though I was already looking forward to this game, it managed to surpass my expectations. The combat is pleasantly a bit on the Bayonetta side of things (one of my favorite series and character), it has a cool sci-fi setting (which I prefer over the fantasy of…

  • Paper Mario: Sticker Star

    —

    ,

    Yup, this is far from being a new game – it came out for the 3DS in 2012 – but I found myself in a 3DS playing mood of late, getting back into playing Fire Emblem Awakening (that I had never finished, and decided to start up a new game), and wanting to play something…

  • Gwent (Beta)

    —

    ,

    I surprisingly still haven’t played The Witcher III (I’m thinking of getting to it during the holiday break), but I have heard plenty about Gwent, the in-game fully realized card game this is now spinning off into its own game. I was pretty excited to try this – as I’m a longtime Magic: The Gathering…
