Telling Lies By: Sam Barlow / Annapurna Interactive Sam Barlow's Her Story is one of my favorite video games, perhaps the one that's stuck with me the most. I clearly remember back in 2015, getting it a few days ahead of release and thinking I would just play for a little bit and then get back to cleaning my apartment. But my home stayed dirty that day, because I couldn't put my…
SNIKS By: Shelly Alon SNIKS is the latest puzzle game by Shelly Alon, and it has you pulling colorful two-headed snakes around a board to eat fruit. To solve a level, each fruit has to be eaten by a snake of the same color. You can also overlap snakes to mix two different colors together. It's a pretty relaxing game, but some levels can be tricky, so this walkthrough guide should help…
Hi everyone, and welcome back to My Week Unwrapped, where I discuss all the games I've been playing over the last seven days. It's been a pretty crazy week, and I've managed to play a lot of games, despite spending Saturday at Playcrafting's game conference, Play NYC. I somehow knocked out some full reviews and made plenty of gameplay videos. August is turning out to be quite the month for both quality…
SNIKS By: Shelly Alon There are few things that get me excited like a new puzzle game that's relaxing but challenging, features a great art style, and plays easily with one hand. Shelly Alon's latest game, SNIKS, does all this and more. In it, you need to push little two-headed creatures that resemble gummy worms around a grid so they can all eat their favorite fruits. I wrote a bit about it…
Unhatched By: Filip Loster I first mentioned Filip Loster's card-based puzzler, Unhatched, several weeks back in my preview, and have since had a chance to play through the whole game. It's a bit of a cross between Reigns and Meteorfall, but with its own unique story and mechanics. What really sets it apart, though, is that each card battle is a hand-crafted puzzle with a solution. Instead of the cards being randomized,…
For the last few years, I've been going to Playcrafting's summer games conference called Play NYC. Last year was pretty lacking on the mobile front so I didn't cover it, but I wrote about my experience in 2017. This year had a pretty good turnout for mobile games, as well as games that seem like a great fit for the platform. I also checked out some PC games that looked interesting and…
Hi everyone, and welcome back to My Week Unwrapped, where I discuss all the games I've been playing over the last seven days. The astute observer may have noticed that I skipped a week, mostly because I got so deeply sucked into Sky that I didn't play too many other games last week. But I've rectified that and have about fifteen games to cover from the last two weeks. There are some…
Kubrix By: Kenny Sun Kubrix is the latest game by Kenny Sun, and it's like Yankai's Triangle but with cubes. In it, you need to rotate sides of a cube to connect lines and light up nodes. There's practically infinite levels, so this won't be a complete walkthrough. But it should at least be enough to get you started and hopefully you'll be able to handle the rest on your own. Feel…
