You play as Edith Finch, returning to your abandoned family home in search of answers about a mysterious curse. Similar in gameplay to Gone Home, but with a very interesting twist. Perfect for: anyone wanting a zany, comical game that doesn’t take itself seriously, fans of Katamari Damacy, fans of devious racoons What Remains of Edith Finch I’m well aware that you now want to eat some donuts. A classic that’s easily one of the best short and sweet Switch games! The games spins a fantastic tale in just two hours I recommend playing and finishing it a single night like my wife and I did. It sounds mundane but the care that went into the details of the house and progression of exploration make it a delight to play! Just FYI: there are no enemies and no jump scares, though exploring a few areas will heighten your anxiety a bit. So you explore the house and piece together what happened! The main gameplay simply involves walking and interacting with certain objects in the house. You’re the daughter in a family returning to your family’s large home in the middle of the night. Hopefully you find something you want to try out! Gone Home I’m going to include a bit about who might most enjoy it if you’re looking the pick the perfect game for you.
DONUT COUNTY GAME LENGTH FULL
Its story is effectively told, its characters are lovable, the soundtrack is gorgeous, but, most importantly, it’s just so damn fun.Coffee Talk is closer to 4 hours but I absolutely love it-check out my full review if you want a thoughtful, relaxing game. This is my game of the year for a multitude of reasons. It takes the wall-jumping mechanics that made Super Meat Boy so much fun and pairs them with a deeply relatable story about a girl struggling with her own mental health issues. It’s a shame because the time I spent with it was a blast I just would have loved to have had more to do.Ĭeleste is an emotional roller coaster and a side-scrolling masterpiece. The only downfall is the short length and the lack of bonus/challenge stages. The goal is to swallow every object in a stage, solving puzzles as you go. It’s very reminiscent of a Katamari game: You control a hole that grows as it sucks things up. I was drawn in by just how satisfying the game is to play. A lot of the laughs come from just how ridiculous each character is written-especially BK, the mischievous raccoon that drives the game’s plot. The characters consist of wacky animals that deliver their lines frantically. It’s the same good fun as always it’s just better.ĭonut County is one of the funniest games I’ve played in a while. The story mode is exciting and fresh, but the real fun comes from sitting on the couch with your friends for hours on end, beating the ever-living crap out of each other. The combat is faster and more refined than Smash 4, and the inclusion of literally every single Smash fighter to date was a brilliant decision.
DONUT COUNTY GAME LENGTH SERIES
This entry in the series is the biggest and best yet. Nothing brings people together more than seeing their favorite characters being added to the games’ humongous roster of fighters. is one of the biggest franchises in all of gaming. Nothing fills me with more joy than playing Smash for hours on end with a group of buddies.īut the series isn’t just important to me: Super Smash Bros. It was and still is the go-to game to play when we all get together. I’m a simple man who grew up playing a lot of Super Smash Bros. God of War is a turning point in video game storytelling.
Kratos’ development as a father for his son, Atreus, was a serious accomplishment in good directing and writing. Sure, the ax throwing is one of the most fun combat mechanics I’ve tried in years, but it’s really the emotional tale the game tells that gripped me the most. But after seeing the insanely positive reviews, I was sold. The franchise never interested me in the past, and I wasn’t too keen on getting into it. The reboot of God of War wasn’t something that initially piqued my interest. While I wasn’t too hot on the sections of the game where you were forced to walk around as Mary Jane and Miles Morales, the web-slinging and the combat were enough of a saving grace to make this one of my favorite games this year.
Webs actually attaching to buildings? Hell yes. I hate that it took this long to get back to this type of Spider-Man game. Here, in no particular order (except for one), are my five favorite games of 2018:
I imagine I’ll be stuck trying to catch up on my backlog for quite some time in the coming years.Įven though I couldn’t play everything, there were still a bunch of stand-out titles that are very much worth highlighting. The latter half gave me a lot of time to focus on gaming, but, with the start of college getting in the way, the second half left me too busy to play much of anything. This year was a little all over the place for me.
