I really love her as a character, and it’s fun playing as a tough, ambitious female, but the narrative and character development was still not as advanced as it could have been. Josh and I played this one together as well, and it was a lot of fun though not as satisfying as Uncharted 4. The animation and world-building has advanced significantly since the last iteration of Tomb Raider, and Lara now has a better wardrobe of practical clothing. The only sad thing is that I have to play it on a Mac, which trips up the gameplay at times.Īfter a long wait, the latest Tomb Raider was finally released for PS4. ![]() So basically Dreamfall Chapters is everything I love in a game: great female characters, awesome story, good graphics, fun puzzles to solve, and some intellectual nerdiness. ![]() The narrative also does some really interesting critique of modernist assumptions about progress and reason through extending such ideas to their logical, dystopian outcome. So, the story is extremely rich and the characters are complex and nuanced. He is now advocating for the magic people of the realm. Kian, the male protagonist, lives in the “fantasy realm” and is a recent traitor of his fellow humans. However, now that Zoe has woken from her coma, she has no memory of what she saw and learned in the dream world. The dream world touches both the cyberpunk and fantasy realms.

I stumbled across it during a Steam sale and completely fell in love. This is the one game on my list that wasn’t released in 2016. The Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey My only regret was how little time we got with Elena on this chapter.Ģ. The story was strong, and the gameplay was the best of the series yet. It was a fantastic end to the full Uncharted series (and yes we did also go back and re-experience the series through the awesome remastered Nathan Drake Collection that was released right before). This game, in particular, was a total blast. That family happens to be just Josh for now, but playing games together constitutes some of our favorite date nights. Now I’m all grown up, but I still love the collaborative experience of playing video games with family. Nevertheless, there were some great gaming moments from last year!Īs a kid, I used to sit on my mom’s lap and play video games like the King’s Quest series with her and my brothers. Playing video games is something I always wish I had more time to do, but because it requires significant mental energy and engagement, after long days of reading, writing and talking in class, I tend to opt for curling up with hot tea and a TV episode or book. ![]()
