Sometimes it seems like my video game attention span gets shorter all the time. Happiness and good cheer be damned Limbo rocks. Also, there is a giant spider that will crawl out of your screen and into the part of your brain that births nightmares.
BOTANICULA GET THE HELMET FULL
In addition, it has some really well-crafted puzzle sequences that make full use of your brain while freaking the shit out of you - and, as is often the case, what you don’t see is infinitely worse than what you do. Or are you already dead, as the game’s title implies? Is there any goodness or warmth left in your world? Yeah, Limbo is definitely the feel-bad game of the decade, but sometimes, a little bleakness is just what the doctor ordered. As far as you know, there is no goal beyond simple survival, and everything you encounter - creatures, machines, even other children - can kill. You’re a little boy in a vast rotting world of shadows, searching. Can’t wait for Samorost 3!īleak, monochromatic indie platformer dealing with the loss of childhood innocence #1! Limbo got all kinds of accolades from smug twats who pretend not to like mainstream gaming, but don’t hold that against it because it is one solid, engaging little homonculus of a game. Amanita’s creativity and visual flair keep reaching new plateaus. It doesn’t quite hold up to Machinarium, but in the same way that Ponyo doesn’t quite hold up to Spirited Away: the visionary minds decided to do something kids would like, and I’m fine with that. Each new critter is brimming with personality, each maze-like area is wonderful to explore, and the puzzles, while easy for the experienced point-and-clicker, fit together very nicely. With its simplistic controls and good cheer, it’s clearly a game for the tablet-wielding younger generation, but it is utterly impossible not to love. Set within the branches and roots of a giant tree, it stars a quintet of spritely little doodads who try to save their home from evil black fuzz. Now we have Botanicula, which isn’t as good, but still better than most of the junk you’ll find on Steam.
