Through the previous games in the Margrave franchise, we've helped Edwina Margrave search for answers about her family's past. In this latest installment, however, we're focused solely on the present, as Edwina must embark on a rescue mission to save the love of her life before he's lost in a town that appears only once every 300 years. Along the way, you'll meet lots of interesting characters and explore a slew of lovely environments, but the game still isn't without its problems.
Lili is all about discovery. It opens with its titular protagonist making an unexpected one: that the island to which she's traveling in search of rare flowers is inhabited by a race of living wooden "Constructs." Gameplay, however, gives way to a much more unfortunate revelation: that not all that glitters is gold, and that lots of polish an adventure does not make.
It's possible Forever Lost's name has you concerned. After all, who would want to be confused as to where they were throughout an entire game? That will certainly happen on occasion - it's a puzzle/adventure game, after all - but the world is jampacked with story and bits of info that clue the player in as to what's going on around them. And no, it doesn't take place on an island with magical properties.
Perhaps my favorite ride at Disneyland is the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. With meticulous detail and theming of everything from the lineup to the attendants, it wraps you up in the creepy tale of a hotel haunted by the events of a fateful night during the Golden Age of Hollywood. It dances gleefully between reverence for classic films and for classic scares. Even if you haven't taken a trip on the Tower, though, bottle that feeling. You may just be getting a game that does the trick.
Much to the delight of long-time adventure and role-playing fans, the interactive novel's steadily gaining ground in the casual arena. Not quite games and not quite books, these digital diversions enjoy the advantages of both, telling complex stories that allow gamers to play decisive roles. A shining example of the genre, Black Chicken Studios' 1931: Scheherazade at the Library of Pergamum introduces us to a winning new heroine and stylishly demonstrates the endless potential of this unique form of entertainment.
From the hallowed halls of Ubisoft comes The Mighty Quest For Epic Loot, a free-to-play dungeon raiding game that sends players on mighty quests for epic loot - against each other. This one looks a bit out of character for Ubisoft, which is better known for major game franchises like Assassin's Creed and the various Tom Clancy games, but The Mighty Quest For Epic Loot also looks like it has the potential to be an absolute blast.
Everyone's got their baggage. That uncle you don't really want to talk about. Teenage years as a bullied nerd. The father that may or may not have been involved in committing you to a mental asylum, leaving you with only your frayed mind and sentient stuffed rabbit to keep you company...all with the hopes that you can use flashes of your past to recover memories necessary to escape and make sense of it all. Okay, that's the kind of baggage reserved for Edna & Harvey: The Breakout.
