Telling Lies By: Sam Barlow / Annapurna Interactive Last week, I wrote up a very vague preview of Sam Barlow's Telling Lies, the spiritual successor to one of my favorite games ever, Her Story. I emphasized the length and scope of the game as, instead of one actress, we now get a full cast. The four main characters are played by Logan Marshall-Green, Angela Sarafyan, Alexandra Shipp and Kerry Bishé, and the…
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…
Stranger Things 3: The Game By: BonusXP Stranger Things 3: The Game is the official game of Netflix's Stranger Things series. It's not available on iOS yet, but is on Switch, PS4 and PC. It follows the story, for the most part, of Season 3 of the show, so make sure you watched it already before playing. I'm already working on a walkthrough, but the 50 hidden Gnomes in the game are…
Total Party Kill By: Jussi Simpanen / Adventure Islands Total Party Kill is a new puzzle game by Jussi Simpanen that has you taking control of three different heroes -- a Knight, a Mage, and a Ranger. They each kill in different ways, and you need to have them kill each other to survive each room on the dungeon. As long as one of them makes it to the exit, you're good.…
Total Party Kill By: Jussi Simpanen / Adventure Islands Dungeon crawling is a dangerous hobby, and not everyone can make it out alive in the hunt for treasure. But what if death was the answer? That's the idea behind Total Party Kill, the latest puzzle game from Jussi Simpanen. Sharing some similarities with Persephone and Sometimes You Die, this creative puzzler has you killing your friends so you can climb their corpses…
Twelvesmith By: Flippfly, LLC About a month ago, I got access to a game called Twelvesmith from Flippfly, the makers of Race the Sun and Evergarden. I didn't even know they were working on a new game, but I started playing and was instantly hooked. I enjoyed both of their previous projects, but neither was designed for mobile first. They were both cross-platform games that worked in landscape mode and weren't really…
Baba is You By: Hempuli / Arvi Trikari Before talking about Baba is You, let me give you a brief recap on my relationship with PC gaming for context. If you follow me on Twitter, you most likely already know that I hate being chained to a PC. Once I got an iPhone, it replaced my PC not just for games, but for pretty much everything. So when I say I really…
Tick Tock: A Tale for Two By: Other Tales Interactive None of my local friends are really into playing video games, so my gaming experiences are usually private -- if you don't count the fact that I record and upload them to YouTube. While I enjoyed Runescape and some lesser-known massive multiplayer games as a kid, these days I prefer to just chill on my couch with my iPad in my lap,…
