![]() A bold, sumptuous assault of purple and pink neon pours itself into your eyeballs. What truly sets Sayonara apart, however, is its style. I’m not sure I truly understood what was going on most of the time, but there’s a real sense of personal growth, catharsis and redemption felt during your adventure. It switches from dodging projectiles to high-speed pursuits and flashy sword battles in a split-second. She fights, chases and flees tarot-inspired opponents through wondrous, psychedelic levels on foot, by vehicle, and flying through the air. A broken-hearted woman goes on a dreamlike journey to another world. I want to like Sayonara Wild Hearts more than I do. It’s an awe-inspiring, calming setting brought to life with exquisite animation. The town of Mutazione is even stranger than it first seems, with its mysteries being uncovered throughout the course of your stay. You also tend to a garden of beautiful mutant plants, aided by shamanic magic. In Night in the Woods fashion, your unofficial objective becomes seeking out every interaction with these loveable characters. The writing is beautifully raw and vulnerable, delving into all of their hopes, fears and dramas. The weird and wonderful residents of Mutazione welcome her into their tightly-knit community. What starts out as Kai’s last chance to meet her grandfather and an opportunity to help him out during his final days becomes a lot more than she bargained for. Oh, and the town is home to all manner of mutants and other mysterious creatures. She’s going to visit her grandfather, who she’s never met. ![]() Mutazione is the story of fifteen-year-old Kai’s trip to the titular town. From tear-jerking storylines to tough themes and even the real-life plights of yourself and others, these games go in deep. Warning: as of this review, the IOS version has a bug that keeps you from getting the “good” ending, so completionists be warned, you can still win the game, but not %100.This month’s review roundup is an emotional special, featuring five new indie games that pull at the heartstrings. But for anyone willing to undertake the perilous task with our Little Lady, the ending is an emotional and depressing while also somewhat uplifting climax that will stay with you for a while. Little Misfortunes journey to find eternal happiness for her mother is fraught with danger and disappointment. Be warned though, this is not a story for the faint-hearted. And maybe it’s just because mainstream games have become nothing more than shameless cash grabs, but even in its brevity, Little Misfortune has more heart and soul pouring out of its illustrated narrative than any AAA release I’ve played recently. Little Misfortune is more of an experience than it is a game, similar to the likes of Journey or Abzu. It’s akin to an old Sierra point and click, but much shorter. There’s very little to the gameplay other than moving left and right, and interacting with objects. Little Misfortune is one of those games that doesn’t quite fit the usual qualifications for a game. We will be pushing out an update that will take care of that crash as soon as possible! Thank you for your patience :) Is there anything that can be done to fix this? ![]() I adore this game and would love to finish it, but I can’t. I’ve tried loading a save file that placed me at the end of Phantasmagoria and reentering the house, clicking the “Continue” button on the home screen once I was inside the house, but nothing seems to work. I’ve tried to get around this several times, but nothing seems to work. Not only did the game crash a few random times throughout my play through, but whenever I attempt to enter Benjamin’s house, the game crashes. ![]() However, I was unable to finish the game due to its constant crashing. The parts of the game that I was able to play were super fun! The backgrounds and character design were absolutely stunning, the voice actors were fantastic, and the story was incredibly engaging.
