This one in particular is about a young boy who rescues an injured bird in the forest near his school. More specifically, he fends off a badger which tries to catch the bird in a forest clearing. The rest of the story flows organically from this incident and it is the primary purpose of the narrative.
I think I recently made a comment that, as I get older, the more I make the heartbreaking conclusion that mankind will never explore the galaxy due to physics and entropy. What a bummer. What if we had explored it though? And what if we went so far that we couldn't find our way back. That's what's going on in OPUS: The Day We Found Earth.
The idea of this game is you basically start a journey in an unknown path as a quiet beggar. You soon learn that you possess the powers of a god. Clouds are shifted, vessels are filled, and the beat goes on. Players have described this game as having an emotional impact on them. I can relate. The Beggarās Ride has some cool storytelling choices that give you some context for why this is happening. Itās also something I notice that āqualityā games tend to utilize, since it gives you a reason to keep playing. This is a good move, because itās honestly a little random otherwise. Not that Iām complaining, but Iām really grateful the narrator and gorgeous info blurbs around the edges of the platform.
Nordlicht is a family friendly story book stylized find-the-object game with casual references to Nordict life and the lore/mythology of the viking culture in an anachronistic presentation. You investigate diverse levels with hidden objects and puzzles to solve to complete steps in an adventure story. I think this game would be fun in a family setting, but I found it intriguing enough to investigate as an adult.
This oneās a real treat. In my quest to document cheap games that are high quality, I am here to showcase todayās PC Game titled āChronology.ā Once again, I snagged this title from Steam for a meager $0.49. Booyah! When you start playing new games all the time, you start to notice themes and design aspects from the description. So I can pretty much guess what Iām in for and/or if the game is worth a purchase click.
I got Burnstar for under $2 on eShop and itās also on Steam for around $5. Thatās not bad really. And this game is actually good fun. It is cheaper than a burrito from Chipotle too. This is one of those games that doesnāt have a sweeping lore setup for burning a bunch of junk. Itās just cool looking, fun, and the sound design is funkalicious. You can play this game either as a single-player or co-op. I think co-op would probably be easier, but I did alright on single-player. This game is $2 you have nothing to lose really.
Hey, when you say āroll around a dumpling-eating cat,ā do you mean that literally?You do? Really? Okay, Iām in. Play The Big Journey and roll around a cat, who should be named Alpuss Dumplingdore (do not deny what a perfect name that would be.) Alright, alright. Thereās nothing that bizarre about this game. Firstly, The Big Journey is unique, however, once you jump in, itās pretty fleshed out. Secondly, despite the weird concept, itās highly rewarding. Finally, I think weāre all a little bit used to those by now, us gamers, arenāt we? So, next up, letās play!
What the delightful year 2020 was. I really canāt say enough for the levels of complexity and hardworking teamwork my community and the world have taken upon themselves to uphold themselves to the safety of their fellow man and the restoration of peace and order to a situation uncouth. That streamed from my hands like a biting witful shark attack but I actually kind of mean it in a wobbly but sincere way. Itās been bad, I know, real bad, but not all bad, just a little more bad and covering a broader spectrum of things to care about. Iāve accomplished more this year than I have in my whole life, although I do miss summer sidewalks and drive-thru impulse purchases.
It's everywhere now. It's downloaded into your cortex. Drips off the neon katakana of your tube hotel vacancy sign. It's hidden in the channel tuned to static on your peripheral, cyphered, cybernetic headset. It provides the foundation as well as the motivation for things high above its paygrade, but it is still only a literary genre--beyond video games. "Cyberpunk." I'm talking simstim, black mesa stuff here, not Grand Theft Hovercar.
The subtitle āItās All Hereā says it all. Iāve tried a few Marvel games over the years, and Iāve seen a good handful of the movies. Never really delved into the comics, but I feel they are well represented in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2. I went into this game thinking maybe itād be isolated to Avengers characters without much divergence. There are PLENTY of Marvel Heroes in this game though, and youāll have no trouble finding them. Within the first couple of chapters of game I played or interacted with the Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor, She-Hulk, Wasp, Gwenpool and more.
