Sucking mouthfuls of water in the ocean last month made me appreciate the fact that we have so many games to mirror so many different real life experiences. Take scuba diving for example. Ain’t nothing cozy about ice cold seawater and pruny fingers. Thankfully, if you’re not too fond of being submerged in the water like I am, or if you just like exotic alien safaris, then come where it’s better, down where its wetter under the sea. (Cue music)
@siegarettes talks about the joy of driving, the spirit of simulation games and trying to find a place for themselves on Project Car’s California Highway.

Rebel Galaxy feels like a good album where every song has the same chords. It’s hard to pick out a single that stands above the rest, and it all kinda blends together, but it’s good for the first 5 plays. When Rebel Galaxy is at it’s best, I’m jamming out to the one-of-a-kind soundtrack, as I frantically struggle to takedown a ship three times my size, with five times my firepower. More often than not however, I’m in a lengthy warp from one indistinguishable mission to another with a podcast on, grinding out credits for upgrades, to beat the bland story mission that’s kicking my ass, while mashing through mediocre writing in order to make some semblance of progress.

Second Opinion by Marie (@PowerfulOrb)
Firewatch is about the things that go unsaid. It’s a game where you dwell on the things you said, not because they lead you to the bad ending, but because you wish you could say something that made the other person feel better. It’s concerned with where we go when we’re alone with our thoughts, and with the empty moments we stay busy to avoid. Firewatch understands that negative space is as much a part of a composition, as the elements that fill it.

Platformers tend to have a certain rhythm to them. There’s a beat, an ebb and flow to movement. Inside My Radio takes that rhythm and makes it explicit. Actions are tied to the beat of the music, lose the rhythm and you’ll fail basic actions. It’s a hybrid that makes it unique in its genre, but also adds several complications.

The Westport Independent is a 2016 game by Double Zero One Zero. It’s the first game they’ve launched on Steam and a valiant effort at that. The Westport Independent places the player in the position of a head editor at a small newspaper in country living in the shadow of a rapidly-ascending nationalistic party, in the final 12 weeks before newspapers are subject to a new, harsh regulation on what they can and cannot print.

Nep Nep is no longer held back by the power of the cell. This time we get to see Neptune and co. shine in 8 GBs of GDDR5. Compile Heart’s Neptunia series has finally landed on the 8th generation of consoles, but will it offer anything new and exciting other than a fresh coat of paint?
