El Hijo – A Wild West Tale [German] is an isometric-view, real-time tactics stealth game, especially suited for kids, where you have to help a little boy to find his mother unseen by various opponents/villains.
It’s been a fun little distraction/adventure .. to calm down after/between nerve-wrecking platformers ;)
Hollow Knight is a beautiful and, in parts, ridiculously hard 2D platform action-adventure game in which players must guide the main character, the Knight, through a maze of underground worlds and districts, fighting numerous bosses along the way.
The game is extremely captivating and addictive, but also frustrating at times due to the high number of failures. It also brought back nice memories of the Ori games as well as Unbound: Worlds Apart. I’m not sure how to achieve things like finishing the game in under five hours, given that it took me over fifty hours to explore everything.
Anyway, I loved playing the game and I’m looking forward to playing part two at some point.
Vessel is a fun little puzzle-platform game where one has to guide the main character through various puzzles in a world bullied by so-called Fluros (in fact created by the main character himself).
The graphics is maybe not the greatest, but I had lots of fun with the gameplay / skills of the character and the puzzles, so you might want to give it a go …
Omno is a fun little puzzle adventure game with some nice gameplay ideas. It may not have the deepest story or the best graphics, but it has its own style and is still fun to play.
Little Nightmares II is – just like its predecessor, to which it is a prequel – an absolutely beautiful and fantastic, scary, puzzle-platform horror adventure game. This time one guides a little boy, later joined by the girl know from part one, through dark yet beautifully crafted levels.
I’m definitely not a big fan of horror games and had my moments with both parts, but once again, it’s been an absolute delight playing this game and I do look forward to playing part three, apparently coming out in 2025.
