Another World

that was great! I've never played it before, only knew it by reputation. odd mix of intuitive and unforgiving. really enjoyed my time with it. I love how much depth to the world and story is suggested but not made explicit. I could see myself becoming obsessed with it at a younger age

6. A Short Hike

twee indie game of the Detective Frog/Little Party variety
low poly 3d, bright colors, simple textures, affectedly crunchy rendering, tons of conversational dialogue, quirky characters, open play but linear progression, ain't no point to the game
don't me wrong, love that poo poo. it's like if instead of creating an Important Experience walking sims just wanted to hang out for a bit

but also an unexpectedly great 3d platformer, drat
really, really solid movement controls, to the point that I suspect this was done Nintendo method, where they start by focusing on making the movement fun with no assets, just honing it and honing it until it feels as good as it possibly can, then build the rest of the game on top of that. hopping around, running, gliding, climbing all feel great
and it's a collectathon in that way where it's tied in closely to making it fun to explore every nook and cranny- finding a new area gets you a couple coins, and getting the coins helps you remember where you've already been, and you find power-ups and use things you collect to buy stuff so you can do more stuff and get to more areas. there's minigames, you get rewards for doing well at the minigames, there's little worried critters you can help out. that kind of poo poo

unique blend, good way to while away a lazy afternoon or game with your s.o., I assume
