Among Us 622l5a
Among Us It's not a new game — it was released in 2018 and already had a sequel in development — but it has become the new internet sensation. Developed by Inner slot, this is another one of those games that puts the crowd to plant discord and spend a lot of time in virtual fights.
Basically, the premise of the game consists of several people in the same scenario who need to find out who the imposters are. These, chosen at random at the beginning of each match, have some special abilities, such as assassinating “ordinary” players and moving more nimbly around the map. The imposters must kill all the regular players, while the regular players must perform a series of tasks or discover all the imposters in the scenario.
What makes it all the more fun is that, based on evidence they found or actions they witnessed around the scene, at any time players can request an emergency meeting to debate and try to convince other players to vote for the expulsion of a member, which theoretically is the imposter. This one, of course, can also use his powers of persuasion to try to blame another player.
As all players are convinced by freely written text, there is no lack of situations of great creativity to convince the other participants, and Among Us becomes a real social experiment game. Available for free, fun is guaranteed!
Available: Android, iPhone (iOS) e PC (Steam).
spin 4n5923
Have you ever watched those drawings inspired by super colorful and psychedelic 1970s visuals, like Yellow Submarine, by the Beatles? Well, if you've never had the chance to check out these bizarre animations, Spinch is your chance to explore this fantastically colorful world. Developed by queen bee games, the game uses and abuses the colors with a strange adventure that seems to come out of a dream.
In the game, you take on the role of Spinch, a small but agile creature who needs to rescue his litter of missing puppies from an endless invasion of eccentric and strange colorful monsters. Ironically, Spinch and her offspring are the only completely white living beings in this weird world. To recover your puppies you need to jump, dodge obstacles, defeat some enemies and always to go through a checkpoint to save your progress.
Spinch is a very well built platform game with an overly colorful world that entertains the player while he is frantically running and jumping through psychedelic levels. Six different worlds with unique obstacles along with the fast reset mechanic at checkpoints when you die makes the game much more dynamic (and challenging too).
Available: Nintendo Switch e PC.
Hades 2s714i
Hades is the latest game from Supergiant Games and it's giving you something to talk about. An excellent and difficult adventure, Hades guards the structure of elaborate procedurally generated dungeons, meaning the game's environments are created randomly as the player progresses. In other words, a match will never be the same as the previous one.
Hades, as expected from its name, maintains a theme and setting centered on the gods of Olympus and Greek mythology. The objective of the game is to defeat all enemies in a level — or room, if you prefer — and move on to the next, which will be randomly generated. The focus is therefore on combat.
As the player progresses and defeats enemies, new abilities and powers are granted by the gods, which considerably changes the strategies and action that takes place on screen. Thus, it is necessary to master the various mechanics to do well in the game. The battles are extremely satisfying and encourage the player to continue progressing through the dungeons, always looking for the next skill and more enemies to defeat.
The visuals follow the style already established by the developer Supergiant Games, which also excels in sound design. The screen view is isometric (seen from above, but at an angle, as if the camera were diagonally), and the artistic style, like all other titles from the producer (Bastion, Transistor, Pyre) are pleasing to the eye.
Available: Nintendo Switch, Steam e Epic Store.
Metamorphosis b1s6x
Who said that a great work of literature can't become a video game? The developers of OvidWorks proved that even the classic of Franz Kafka, The Metamorphosis (1915), can become an interesting and engaging adventure. With the same name as the book on which it is based, Metamorphosis explores strange feelings, surrealism and philosophical questions and a unique experience in the world of digital entertainment.
Metamorphosis is a first person adventure game with puzzles and platform elements where you play as an insect (cockroach, beetle, whatever your imagination creates as you never see its true form). You are able to slide across different surfaces while exploring your environments, trying to reach high places and solving challenges. And, as in Kafka's original story, the life of a man who suddenly becomes an insect is not an easy one.
The puzzles in Metamorphosis usually involve finding the right area to be in and the right object to handle. However, most of the time the solution is something very obvious, since the game offers few more elaborate challenges. After all, you are an insect and the world is complicated enough for such a small creature.
Too bad the puzzles and exploration are all the game has to offer. For a game that is based on one of literature's greatest classics, it was expected to approach more complex topics in the same subtle way that Kafka did with his book. Metamorphosis It's not a bad game, but after the few hours it takes to complete our insect protagonist's journey, the player is left with a feeling that surrealism could have gone further with this game.

I am dead 2n531h
How about playing as a ghost? For this is the proposal of I am dead, developed by Annapurna Interactive. But the game is not about death, but about objects. The way they look and how they can change depending on your perspective — and most importantly, what they mean to people.
Em I am dead the protagonist is dead and can freely observe the world, and the game uses this premise to let you explore a picturesque island full of charming residents, in search of memories that are anchored by specific objects. It's sincere and charming. Sadness and morbidity, themes so common when we are talking about death, give way to nostalgia and a comforting feeling of rediscovery.
In the plot, Morris, the recently deceased curator of a museum on a small island, possesses two particular ghostly powers: he can venture into the memories of the living and peer into objects with a strange kind of X-ray vision. The island, meanwhile, is home to a volcano that could erupt any day. To avoid this imminent danger, Morris must seek out a fellow ghost to become the island's new protector. He does this with the help of his dead dog, who can now speak.
The peaceful and colorful world of I am dead It's such a joy to explore that the player will never find themselves rushing to see what happened next. Instead, use the X-ray tool to look inside everything: whether it's a carton of eggs, a buzzing beehive, or a shelf full of old records. The simple act of observing these objects to look inside is fun.
Perhaps the best thing about I am dead be your slow nature. It's a game full of stories and gives you time and space to live with them. You can rummage through someone's room or relive the memories of your lost love, and the game never pushes you to the next goal to be accomplished. It's obsessed with the details and history of things – and wants you to be obsessed too.

cloudpunk 3u3x5j
A vast city to explore, rainy night and lots of neon lights to leave a beautiful atmosphere make cloudpunk a good indie game option for the month of october. This game, from ION LANDS, focuses on exploration and, at the same time, the story, which unfolds as the player makes deliveries through a futuristic city in a flying car.
With so many lights cloudpunk draws attention for its visuals, which easily stand out among so many two-dimensional independent games. As the player makes deliveries around the city of the game, there is with several non-controllable characters, who tell their stories and immerse the player in that environment of a world cyberpunk and that is on the verge of failure.
The deliverables and the stories of the deliverables characters are the central points of cloudpunk, and the player will spend quite a bit of time on the first action, which gets them involved with what the townspeople of Nivalis have to tell. With the freedom to roam and talk to random people, the game gets more and more interesting as the player gets involved with its story. A good recommendation, despite having some technical problems with your camera.
Available: Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, Xbox One, Steam.
