A zany, knockabout co-op action adventure that's kaleidoscopically colourful but wears you out before you get to the good stuff. There's a loop I sometimes struggle with in Metroidvanias. Their idea is simple: gradually give people more powerful tools and abilities to explore worlds with, so that once insurmountable obstacles become, gradually, surmountable. Now you can reach an area you couldn't before because you can fly, for example. But the problem is fun.

19th AprilHello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we've been playing. This week, Tom has been persevering with Avowed, and Bertie has been both redesigning a mansion every day, with little success, and sucking up second-hand enthusiasm. What have you been playing? Catch up with the older editions of this column in our What We've Been Playing archive. Blue Prince, PS5 I really admire the layers of this game.
