Zoink released Fe in 2018 and, in our review, we said "Fe is a lovely platformer with wonderful music, but it fails to do anything interesting with its best ideas."
Sea of Solitude Is Full of Constant Tension and a Curious Story
Sea of Solitude's opening words, “I’m still trying to piece it together… but I can’t," are not just an invitation into a hauntingly beautiful world, they’re a challenge for the player.
Everything that happens in Sea of Solitude has an underlying meaning. Throughout the game, players wanting a strong understanding of Sea of Solitude's story need to piece together gameplay elements, monster design, dialogue, and more to learn what happened to its lead character, Kay.
Developed by Jo-Mei, a 12-person studio based in Berlin, Germany, Sea of Solitude is an adventure game that takes place in a world where humans turn into monsters when they get lonely. Now a monster herself, Kay is desperately trying to find out why this happened and – more importantly – how to turn back to her human form.
Jedi Fallen Order’s Extended Demo: AT-ATs, Puzzles, and Exploration
The Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order gameplay reveal on EA’s E3 livestream had plenty of impressive moments, but gave the impression that it would play more like a cinematic but linear adventure with little room for exploration. Developer Respawn’s hands-off demo at EA Play showed what happens in the 15 minutes prior to when Cal Kestis meets with Saw Gerrera, and those more open-ended moments demonstrated how exploration with environmental puzzles and plenty of parkour will be part of the gameplay.
Jedi: Fallen Order is a third-person adventure set after the infamous events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, in which Palpatine issues Order 66 and wipes out the great majority of the Jedi Order. Fallen Order has plenty of Jedi action – like Force pushing a hapless R2 droid into a Stormtrooper for an explosive start to a fight. And even though Cal was just a padawan when his master was presumably killed, it’s clear he’s become strong with the Force. The extended demo starts with him swimming through the shallow waters of the wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk with his trusty droid sidekick, BD-1, perched on his back. He scales the side of a vine- and- mud-covered AT-AT until he finds an entrance, slays three Stormtroopers with his mix of lightsaber and Force powers, uses BD-1 to get a jump on two unsuspecting troops at the controls, then uses it to help the rebels on the ground.
