Hollow Knight

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

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 …

Lost in Play

Lost in Play is extremely cute point-and-click adventure game where you have to control two siblings on their journey back home. Everything takes place in a mixture of real and fantasy worlds with not too-hard but fun puzzle to solve. Certainly fun to play and a definite recommendation if you are looking for a family puzzle/adventure game.

Thimbleweed Park

Thimbleweed Park is a point-and-click adventure like from the good old times :)
Like in Maniac Mansion or Day of the Tentacle one plays several nicely crafted characters in different times, yet all in a small town called Thimbleweed Park.
As in the classics, one gets a beautifully written story; lots of easter eggs and jokes; fun, crazy and some difficult puzzles to solve; and great (old school) graphics and sound / voice acting.
It’s been a real treat and I had to try both game modes (hard and casual) right one after the other » highly recommended !!!

There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension

Computers and IT, Games2d, adventure, kids, point-n-click, puzzle, single player

There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension is, using its own words, not a great point-and-click adventure game. It’s certainly not fantastic and not a great homage to old adventure classics, does not have a fun story and nice riddles to solve and was not at all extremely entertaining to play. And you should probably not make sure to give it a go.

p.s. The not-game is based on a game-jam entry called ‘There Is No Game’, which you can play for free here.
