5 days ago | superjumpmagazine.com | Josh Bycer

Plenty of amazing games go unnoticed and are not played widely for various reasons. Maybe itās a diamond in the rough, or the marketing wasnāt there, or it could be a game ahead of its time.

Normally video games help me relax. They allow me to dive into other worlds. I've been struggling with the whole relaxing part since the middle of January; it feels like what's going on in the real world cannot be mitigated with a fun gaming session. The real world infiltrates everything, even a mind looking for a distraction. But then Into the Emberlands showed an introduction where beings that did nothing wrong found their home wiped out and friends missing.

Interview The Creeper World series has represented a different take on real-time strategy design over the years thanks to its focus on fighting against an unending force known as "The Creeper".

Snow Bros. Wonderland's Fun 3D Platforming Is Refreshingly Forgiving
