HOB: The Definitive Edition
In the good spirit of total transparency, I’m not the type of gamer who enjoys puzzle-driven experiences on consoles. Typically, I avoid them at all cost. My attitude on gaming is that while I want a cognitive enriching gameplay journey, I honestly would rather just have a game that takes me away from my day-to-day work life. I want a game where effort is given, but not too much effort is needed. ...[Read More]

Transpose (PSVR)
Oh, a puzzle game in VR? That sounds fun, right? Well, shit. It is fun. Transpose from Secret Location came out of nowhere last month.

Neverout
I’m pretty sure that Vincenzo Natali would have been proud of Neverout. The game is a claustrophobic puzzle game that requires you to find a way out of a cube you’re in with a limited amount of movement at your disposal, while also watching out for smaller cubes falling on your head. I’m not sure I’ve jumped so high from a game since the release of P.I.. The sound of getting smushed by a cube is a...[Read More]
Unravel Two
Unravel Two was an E3 surprise and miracle when Electronic Arts announced its existence and immediate launch. The first game, which I adored, involved a character made of yarn, who traverses many different types of puzzle situations that required him to use his yarn to get out of and progress. Swinging on yarn, tying yarn up and springing upward, and various other yarn uses, helped to push the fir...[Read More]
