Firewatch, a genre defying adventure(ish?) game from Campo Santo is a beautiful, emotional journey. I played Henry, a middle aged man who takes a summer job working in a fire watch station in Wyoming. Between exploring the wilderness, yelling at drunken campers, talking to my boss, and watching for fires, a story as engrossing as the beautiful scenery unfolded.

Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival Board Game
Wednesday, April 13, 2016
As an Animal Crossing purist, I did not expect to enjoy Amiibo Festival nearly as much as I did. I quickly discovered that the little party game was a wonderful way to pass the time. With multiple games to play, from a quiz that tests my awesome knowledge of Animal Crossing, to the board game mode that pits players against each other, racing around a board to collect various things before the end of the month. Like any good party game, it only gets better the more people who play!

Every developer diary described the land of Oros as dangerous and unforgiving, but the vanilla game give the player numerous outs and exceptions, including a minimap, reticle and a bomb dropping owl. Survival mode eliminates all of these things a more to create a truly harrowing stone age experience.
