So there I was standing on the back of a space whale, looking for stickers to put in my book, when all of a sudden some weird tar appeared on the back of the whale! I knew immediately I had to save her! Pilo and the Holobook was a delightful experience with dazzling visuals, good puzzles, and stickers around every corner, literally! I loved exploring the beautiful worlds looking for stickers to fill my holobook while at the same time investigating the mysterious story. It was a short adventure, I 100% the game right at 3 hours, but I really did enjoy the experience and felt like this game could also be a great game for parents and kids to play together (or kiddos who can do it themselves.)

Engaging storytelling devices paired with inventive spins on tried-and-true gameplay define Willow Guard, a new anthro character filled Medieval RPG by developer MiTale. You play as Ghweros, a badger “Willowguard” that is investigating a series of monster attacks on a remote village in the Northern Hinterlands. As you proceed through the game, you’ll build a deck of cards, a batch of clues, and a bunch of interpersonal relationships to try and help those in need that have been affected by the various afflictions that have arisen with the monsters’ arrival. The core of the gameplay is the ability to use skills within combat dungeon explorations, allowing you to hack, slash, spell cast, and defend your way through increasingly difficult situations and creatures. This gameplay loop of going between well-scripted, interactive investigative dialogue scenes of story content and then skillful isometric action segments is tightly constructed and easy to get wrapped up in; like an engrossing “Choose Your Own Adventure” book.

What happens when you mix Mirror’s Edge with the movie The Running Man and throw in killer animatronics? You get Finding Frankie: A surprisingly decent, if short, mascot “horror” game that doesn’t overstay its welcome, but has some little issues that prevent it from being anything more than just an OK entry into the ever-growing Mascot-Horror genre.

Have you ever started playing a game as a gremlin and looked at almost every interactable and wished you could eat it? WELL, do I have good news for you. If you can pick it up in Mother Machine, you can eat it, and that may be my favorite part of the game, trying to dodge small enemies attacks and grab them to gobble them up, or finding a glow slug on the ceiling and farting my way up to grab it, so I too can glow. Mother Machine is good fun with friends, and I definitely recommend trying to get a full party (up to 4). The more the better!

Is there anything more whimsical than watching squirrels run around in the park, finding little treasures and chirping at birds that get too close? Maybe becoming squirrels and running around the gardens yourself? Squirreled Away is a sleeper find that almost slipped by. It has plenty to praise on too, multiplayer co-op, exploration as a squirrel, adventure, and a nice little story with quests. As a player I also enjoyed achievement hunting to 100% the game, which my friends could help with while they played alongside me. We especially liked unlocking the different colors of the squirrels, and there were plenty to unlock.
