28 posts were split to a new topic: Seguso’s Adventure Game Thread

If of interest, I wrote about some upcoming dystopian pixel art games (198X, Tales of the Neon Sea and Backbone) for That’s Not Current.

I’m particularly excited about Backbone (raccoon detective!) The artwork and production looks to be of a very high standard.

Which btw. will be platformer, so a rather unusual type of game from Amanita Design.

They had platformer elements in their last games. And “Creaks” reminds me more of “Candle”, because:

… Amanita has confirmed to Adventure Gamers that the gameplay is still “very much” puzzle-based.

Wasn’t Botanicula literally a platformer? If it wasn’t then it sure felt like one. :stuck_out_tongue:

When I saw the teaser for Creaks it didn’t even look like it’s going to be a platformer, but they said it is.
I’m fine with a game like Candle or The Cave.

7 adventure games to look out for in 2019

Includes 5 that are already on my personal list, so the titles aren’t too surprising. But the fact that somebody manages to compile such a list and absolutely hits my taste of video games is a rare feat that cannot be ignored :smile:.

Those are some great ones!

I haven’t heard of Observation by No Code yet, looks like a game I’d like to play. It’s from the makers of Stories Untold so there is hope of a release on GOG.
