It's X-Com, but with wizards. Actually, it's Shadowrun without any orcs. Wasn't Shadowrun really cool? TBW is also really cool.

Every so often a game comes around that demands your attention with puzzles that need to be solved *NOW*

Animal Well is one of those games.

I wish I could play it from scratch again. Animal Well is also one of those games.

If you loved playing video games in the 1990s, like A Link to the Past and Secret of Mana, reading the manuals and looking for hints and secrets, Tunic is for you. If you love puzzles and that A-HA! feeling when you figure something out, Tunic is for you. If you love immersive music and gameplay, Tunic is for you.

If you haven't guessed yet, I love this game.

Stacklands reminded me a lot of board games like Agricola, where you're trying to manage an unmanageable farm, but add more chaos thanks to the real-time gameplay and the various enemies that will show up to cause trouble.

You like Castlevania, don't you?

Breath of the Wild but darker, Dark Souls but brighter, Elden Ring is kind of everything I love in a game. Which means I'm going to be spending a lot of time maidenless.

Do you like corporate dystopias in space? Do you like games where your skill points matter?

Wait, the only question is: did you like Fallout: New Vegas?

Beautiful music, fun puzzles, cute characters. What's not to love?

That each puzzle has musical cues to let you know when you're on the right track is my favorite way of playing hot-and-cold.

If you liked Spelunky, you'll like Spelunky 2. It's that simple.

There's just so much to do, and I stopped playing well before the final updates!
