Listen! I don’t want to jinx it or anything but the games that have been released recently are just wonderful. The gamers all over the world are having the time of their life. We should name it a Gaming March Madness because this is just the beginning. The list of games coming out is getting more and more interesting. So without further ado, here are my top picks:
Sophie: Starlight Whispers
Sophie: Starlight Whispers is an adventure game developed and published by Youth Gaming. It has a few elements of metroidvania, cute/beautiful pixelated graphics, and a deep story. Despite the abundance of these types of games, somehow I find each experience playing them to be unique, fun, and deeply interesting. Sometimes they manage to get the best of me but I enjoy them nonetheless.
Mr. Sleepy Man
Mr. Sleepy Mans is an action adventure platformer developed by and published by Devin Santi. This game best reminds of a Goat Simulator mixed with some weird psychedelic effects. Also, weirdly enough it also reminds me of Santa Claus In Trouble from 2002. So with that nostalgic note, it’s safe to say that I’ll be checking out the game once it’s fully out.
FixForce
FixForce is a co-op extraction platformer for up to 6 players developed and published by Surgent Studios. It looks like a fun game that can be played late at night with friends. The point of the game is that each round you’ll be dropped in a different place and with the help of a friend you will build towers and paths out of various parts. If you enjoyed playing games like RV There Yet? or Peak then this game is a must check out.
Besides these 3 that piqued my interest, there’s also Solasta II and Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection that are coming out this week but I feel like everybody knows about them. But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t check them out, I know I will.
