Cocoon Preview

From Cocoon’s opening moments, it was apparent this upcoming puzzle game from Geometric Interactive masterfully conveyed an ambiance of mystery and dread. Emerging from a cocoon in a desolate desert ecosystem, the player assumes control of a nameless bug-like creature, and without so much as a prompt of what to do or where to go, I was set free to roam the abandoned landscape.


Fugl Preview

Meditative is a good word for it. Passive, or chill. Relaxing.

These are all strong ways to describe a particular style of experiential title which drop players in a location, pipe in soothing music, and let them drift through a world with no goals, objectives, checkpoints, or foes. Fugl‘s particular angle on this is to capture the thrill of flying. Despite quite a few technical issues at the moment, it’s well on its way.


We Happy Few Preview

Ever since the closing moments of BioShock: Infinite‘s gripping DLC, fans have been clamoring for more experiences in a similarly uncomfortable, doom-laden vein. This is likely why the ID@Xbox title We Happy Few is creating so much buzz of late. But this is no Bioshock clone, friends, despite a similar look and feel. Instead, We Happy Few is a much less visceral, but no less intense adventure — one that should gain even more hype as development continues.
