Spirit of the North is a very calm and relaxing third-person adventure game where you have to guide a little fox and his spirit through a vast and mostly empty world. Once in while you have to save a soul/spirit and in the end more or less the whole world.
If you are looking for a lot of action, this is not your game, but if you want a relaxing time exploring a beautifully crafted world as a fox .. of you go, it’s your little heaven ;)
Despite the lack of action, this have been fun …
The Pedestrian is a fantastic (mostly) side scrolling puzzle-platform game with an interesting gameplay idea, mixing the 2D world of a little figure (pedestrian) and the 3D outside world, that both have to interact with each other to find your way through the story.
It’s been great fun, has got some nice, not too hard, puzzles and it’s certainly a recommendation …
Aer: Memories of Old is a nice, relaxing and calm open world ‘action’-adventure published by Daedalic Entertainment, where you – in the role of Auk (both woman and bird) – have to protect a world of islands in the sky from falling into darkness.
Maybe not the longest of stories and not the most challenging riddles, but fun and very soothing to play.
This is apparently how I/we spent this year in terms of computer games … at least as far as my Steam account is concerned.

Never Alone is a beautiful puzzle-platform video game based on a traditional Iñupiaq tale. Guiding a little girl and her fox through the harsh icy world of northern Alaska, it can be played in local co-op mode and includes multiple insightful video clips that complement and enrich the story of the game. Have a look and enjoy both the game and the story!
