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…
Sky: Children of the Light By: thatgamecompany Sky: Children of the Light is the latest game by thatgamecompany, and it's similar to Journey. It's a massive multiplayer online game (MMO) in which you can fly around beautiful landscapes and join with others to solve simple puzzles. There are a lot of hidden collectibles, your wings need to be upgraded, and you need to fill your constellations by freeing spirits. I already have…
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…
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,…
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…
Secret Signs By: Wouter Walmink Secret Signs is a new puzzle game by Wouter Walmink. It doesn't give you any instructions, so you have to experiment and figure out what to do. After you solve each puzzle, you'll be given a little information about its inspiration. There are in-game hints, but if you still need help, this guide should do the job. Feel free to ask for extra help in the comments…
SNIKS By: Shelly Alon There are few genres that are as perfect for touchscreens as relaxed puzzle games. My iPhone has given me a renewed appreciation for puzzles, and I always get excited when one is announced that offers both clever mechanics and an art style that's easy on the eyes. The latest one to grab my attention is Shelly Alon's SNIKS. I played a very early demo version of it a…
