If you happen to be a fan of the spooky season and retro games this may do the trick
Mixing together impeccable artistic design and aesthetics with ever-changing puzzle objectives, Cocoon is quite endearing
While there’s a mesmerizing flow to the grind perhaps, there’s mechanically not much happening here
Mixing together some decent story beats with choices to be made and some fighting it’s at least novel, but it lacks real depth
If you’re a fan of strategy games in the vein of Advance Wars, Wargroove 2 makes an outstanding case for your attention
While the concept of having dinos in a farm sim adventure has appeal, Paleo Pines struggles to deliver more than novelty

A mix of gravity complications, some shooting, and a bit of frustration initially make way for better play as you go
A mix of old-school point-and-click adventure beats mix with modern productions values and polish to make for a good time
While the musical element may sound like it would enhance play it’s more of an accessory that can’t improve generic shooting play
One of those experiences that gets better with some investment, what starts as more generic becomes something more
