![]() As you explore, you’ll uncover countless secrets – and we’re not revealing them here. Since the sun explodes every 22 minutes, you have to race against time to solve the puzzles. Outer Wilds certainly isn’t the first exploration game with minimal hand-holding. You are a space explorer, and it’s your job to find out why the sun is exploding. After 22 minutes, the sun explodes into a supernova, taking any nearby terrestrial planets with it. In essence, you’re a character set in a 22-minute loop of time. Even on a strictly fundamental level, knowing what the game is will spoil your playing experience, so we’ll be careful to avoid spoilers. There’s something about starting the game not knowing anything about what you’ll get into that adds to the anticipation. We need you to trust us on this one: Outer Wilds, not The Outer Worlds, is a game you need to experience blind. It’s still difficult, but thanks to the many options it gives you and its shorter runtime, those afraid of the Souls games should give this one a shot. ![]() But overall, it’s a much more accessible game than what you might expect. ![]() The world is absolutely haunting, as are its inhabitants. These Shells make a huge difference during combat - as they can be used to block your enemy’s attacks and, depending on which one you have equipped, can speed up or slow you down. In Mortal Shell, you are a faceless character who gains access to a variety of Shells that serve as suits of armor - each with their own abilities and traits. Despite being heavily inspired by Dark Souls, Mortal Shell does enough differently to stand on its own and, in some ways, surpasses FromSoftware’s beloved series. That’s a massive compliment to developer Cold Symmetry - a team that masterfully recaptured the essence of what makes the Souls series so appealing. Though it might not look like it, Mortal Shell is not a AAA game from a big-budget studio. If you’re not afraid of the challenge, Spelunky is a gripping and satisfying platformer that rewards those who stick around to uncover its nuances and secrets. Spelunky has great controls, a bevy of secrets, and an excellent soundtrack to boot. Each time you play, the level layout changes, and it’s not uncommon to die from a completely different chain of events than you’ve ever died from before. What makes Spelunky so great is its random generation and environmental interactions. Once you die, you lose all progress, including gold and items. You have limited health and only one life, though. The goal is straightforward: Make your way through 16 levels across four diverse worlds. You play as a nameless explorer known as a spelunker. Available on PS4 since 2014, Spelunky is one of the early examples of the rogue-like platforming phenomenon.
