Old Man's Journey is an adventure game developed by the independent studio Broken Rules. The game's protagonist is a bearded elderly man who goes on the titular journey in order to meet with his family. The plot is told only through a series of pictures. As we play, we get to know the most important moments of our protagonist's life. We explore various areas in Old Man's Journey, like small towns, river valleys, and even mountain tops. Although the game is in 2D, the locations have something from the third dimension in them. Our hero can go deep into the visited places, but to do so, he has to solve a more or less complicated puzzle based on changing the terrain's topography. For example, creating a hill can lead to the creation of a bridge, or creating a valley can give us access to a previously blocked area of the map. That's how we get rid of various obstacles and traps that await our elderly hero. The game has eye-pleasing visuals that bring to mind illustrations from children's books. Old Man's Journey also has a melancholic, instrumental soundtrack.

Snake Pass
March 28, 2017
Arcade, Puzzle Elements, Fantasy, 3D Platformers, Singleplayer, TPP, Xbox Play Anywhere.
An action platform game with logical puzzles. It was developed by British studio Sumo Digital. The title is based on a prototype created by Seba Liese during a Game Jam. Snake pass tells a story about the adventures of a snake and his friend, a hummingbird. Together they must find keys to the magical gates that provide magical power to the Harmony Foothills. They are doing it in order to defeat a mysterious intruder who threatens the lives of the inhabitants of the realm. The game takes place in a three-dimensional environment and the player takes control of the aforementioned snake. The protagonist’s movement was recreated in a pretty realistic way. It means that, for example, he cannot jump, but instead he crawls along the ground, wraps around objects and swims. All of these actions must be used in order to defeat various obstacles and to find well hidden collectibles. In some situations the friendly hummingbird helps the snake by catching him by his tail and transporting to seemingly unavailable places.

The game is characterized by colorful, cartoonish visuals and a soundtrack influenced by the music of 1970s.

It is worth mentioning that dying in the game is permanent and the legacy left by fallen heroes, like their equipment, can make the next attempt a bit easier.

Samurai Shodown V Special is a remastered and expanded version of a beat 'em up game Samurai Shodown V. Unlike the original, released for consoles in 2006, Samurai Shodown V Special is characterized by high level of brutality, known from the arcade version. The player controls their chosen warrior, while watching the action from the side, and taking part in bloody duels. An important role is played by two factors: Sword Gauge, which stands for the power of strikes (it grows when you are in a defensive stance), and Rage Gauge, responsible for special counter-attacks (charges up when you receive damage). Among the available skills there are many spectacular moves, including the ability to slow down time, as well as exceptionally brutal Overkill Moves, which usually conclude battles. The core of gameplay in Samurai Shodown V Special lies in the story mode, which features the events from before the first game in the series. There is also the Versus Mode, which puts you up against another player. Samurai Shodown V Special features oldschool 2D graphics.

Developed by the independent studio Boen Saw, Fight Knight is an action game which casts the player in the role of a knight who is trying to reach the last floor of a magic tower filled with traps and enemies. The game constitutes a mixture of genres, for it combines various old-school mechanics in order to construct an experience that feels fresh. Exploration resembles dungeon crawlers from the 80s and the first half of the 90s. The game is played from the first-person view, the character always turns exactly 90 degrees, and movement is divided into steps. Combat on the other hand, was inspired by fighting games and is purely arcade. When the player encounters an enemy, the game switches to combat mode, which makes the player center on the enemy and allows them to launch various attacks as well as block and dodge enemy blows. As the player progresses through the game, the protagonist gathers new artifacts which give them access to more and more powerful special techniques. The experience is diversified with occasional puzzle solving, as well as encounters with powerful bosses.
