Tonda Ros’ Blue Prince is one of the best puzzle games I have ever played, and a big part of WHY it’s so good comes from the game’s depth.

The mapmaker mode in TimeSplitters: Future Perfect is one of the best custom level editors ever included in a video game. That’s the only real point I want to make this week. Unlike some issues of Ludology Now! I’m not trying to make a larger statement about the world around us, I’m not doing a deep dive into an important aspect of gaming that needs fixing, and I’m not here to make a plea for a game or cause that needs your help.

While popular as both a filming location and setting for hundreds of movies, the city of Savannah, GA is in shockingly few video games. I’ve spent the last few weeks trying to determine exactly how many video games do feature Savannah as a setting, and even in that small handful only one, maybe two of them even look like Savannah at all. I’m not just talking about AAA games, either.

Every now and then, a game like Ten Bells comes along to remind me why and how I fell in love with this industry in the first place. Ten Bells is an “Anomaly Horror” game, and if you don’t know what that means, don’t worry, you aren’t alone.

A cozy game that harkens back to the first-gen Pokemon games, filled with farming, building, spells, and so much more, has managed to smash its Kickstarter only minutes after its release. Announced as Monsterpatch, developer Sean Young describes the adventure as “A love letter to retro monster collecting games that blends unique farming and town building mechanics,” and if you’ve ever played the first-gen Pokemon games or Animal Crossing, then you’re in for a treat.

When it comes to Transformers, most fans of the franchise end up with shelves of buildable models, action figures, and statues. However, TeeTurtle has taken these fearsome mechs and reimagined them as reversible plushies perfect for fans of all ages. We had a chance to see these six-inch plushes in person and can confirm they are as cute and soft as they look. Sporting TeeTurtle’s signature soft fabrics and bright colors, they are a premium plush option for fans of the series.

The free demo/prologue Pathologic 3: Quarantine is out now, available for everyone on Steam to download and play. It’s not a demo in the traditional sense, of course. For returning fans, expect something the size of Pathologic 2: The Marble Nest, but different. For new players… well, this would be a heck of a place to start.

I love a big world to explore when it comes to my games. Things to find, people to meet, quests to do – the whole schbang. That important story quest can wait, I have to explore these woods for 2 hours and find an acorn of truth, for something to that effect. That’s likely what has always drawn me to World of Warcraft, which I have spoken about at length on BA.

I am, and always have been, a terrible organizer. As the Editor-in-Chief of a publication, a parent, and an artist, a little bit of structure would help with most things in my life. Despite this, I am known for keeping notes in dozens of notebooks, ignoring even the nicest of planners, and jotting important info down on any little scrap, only for it to be eaten by my desk.
