The coolest games I saw today – Summer Games, Dev of the Devs, Devolver Direct
|
Despite the ghost of E3 looming over June, the Summer Games Fest, Day of the Devs and Devolver Direct all went live today. I sorted through the avalanche of announcements and trailers to find the *coolest* stuff!

Rolled credits: Planet of Lana
Planet of Lana wears it influences on its sleeve, and while I don’t think it reaches the highest highs of Playground’s INSIDE, the fact that you can fairly compare the two is a huge compliment to Wishfully Studios – made even more impressive by the fact it’s their first game. Planet of Lana is a…

Now Playing: Planet of Lana
Planet of Lana wears it’s inspirations on its sleeve, but isn’t bound by them. As a huge (huge) fan of INSIDE and the Ori games, I wondered if PoL wouldn’t quite do enough to break free of the outrageous standard of quality and polish those games have set the genre. And while it doesn’t quite…

The Minecraft Legends reviews are in
|
The Legends reviews are in, and they’re… fine? Quite good? OK? Mixed? Decent actually? Open Critic currently has Legends at 73 + 50% of critics “recommend” – which is, coincidentally, almost the exact score that Dungeons got – a game that I feel is still under-appreciated despite it having well over 15M players at this…

Impressions: Wo Long Demo
|
I’ve played through the Wo Long demo a few times now, which means I like it a lot. As someone who’s never played Nioh the systems set-up is new to me, but I’ve found the morale/spirit interplay to be intriguing and super engaging. Why can’t I stop thinking about this game?

Flight Simulator – NZ Update

It makes me feel homesick to see all these locations highlighted in such a caring way. Time to reinstall.
