Raji: Ancient Epic 4o401i
Raji: Ancient Epic is the debut game of the Indian studio Nodding Heads Games, which was revealed during the last Nintendo Direct dedicated to indie games. The game brilliantly explores the rich Indian mythology - something that no game has done before. ok we have Dalsim em Street Fighter II, the pacifist leader Gandhi em Civilization v e VI, but Indian culture has never been treated in such a profound way as in the fantastic tale drawn in Raj.
In the plot, demons invade the human realm bringing chaos and destruction. the young woman Raj is chosen by the gods to defend the human race, face the demon lord Mahabalasura and save your brother golu. The story is told by animations that simulate the shadow theater of India, being narrated by the goddess Durga (a demon hunter in Hindu mythology). During the gameplay, she narrates important ages of the adventure and even chats with Vishnu (god of protection) about the protagonist's evolution.
The gameplay mixes many different elements like combat, exploration and puzzle solving. It all works very well and very cohesively, with the only flaw perhaps being the camera's distance from the character. At the Nintendo Switch, either in portable mode or in docked, Raji almost disappears amidst the richly detailed backdrops.
However, the developers' effort to create an adventure that explores Indian mythology is irable. It would certainly be a more pleasurable experience if combat were more fluid and there were no such glitches in platforming sessions and tutorials. Still, it's a brave indie game that risked delivering an above average score.
Available: Nintendo Switch e PC.

The Last Campfire 5g3e1p
The Last Campfire is a delightful puzzle-filled adventure developed by the same team behind the amazing (and controversial) No Man's Sky, Hello Games. It is impressive to see how the same team responsible for creating almost infinite galaxies were able to create a more compact world almost “handmade” with extreme care and delicacy.
In the game, you're against a pilgrim who looks like a fluffy pillow-shaped doll (reminiscent of the wanderers in Journey, only smaller), called Ember, which animates the petrified remains of other travelers by jumping on their heads and solving their inner problems.
Along with this mechanic, the game incorporates puzzles that range from the basic blocks and mandatory levers, and that soon move on to more innovative ideas such as fire, wind, mirrors and much more. And while some of these look like elements you've certainly seen in other games in the same genre, they're often combined to form slightly newer ideas.
The Last Campfire is a captivating puzzle adventure that fills your game time of about six hours with puzzles of every kind you can imagine. While some designs deserve more time in the spotlight — or could render entire games on their own — the game's commitment to new ideas makes for a refreshing change of pace. Perhaps the title is the final proof that Hello Games doesn't need to create an entire universe to make a good quality game.
Available: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 e PC.
Donut County 6z3g5h
Games have put us in many different roles over time. Whether as super fast blue hedgehogs, plumbers saving princesses or assassins throughout history, the player has taken on many personas. But what would you think of playing like a hole? This bizarre question is answered in Donut County, a fun and unusual indie game from the developer Annapurna Interactive.
Donut County starts with a simple premise after a text message conversation between Mira, a young girl, and BK, a talking raccoon, as they discuss working life at a local donut shop. The girl complains about a noisy neighbor during the conversation and shortly after, a mysterious hole appears in the floor that takes the noisy neighbor and everything around her.
Moments later, we discover that the hole is being controlled by the phone app of BK, and the narrative quickly moves into the near future, in which the entire city — including Mira e BK — is trapped at the bottom of this ubiquitous hole. From here, each town member reports where they were and what they were doing when the BK came to them, and the perspective then shifts so that the player can control the hole and swallow everything in front of him.
Donut CountyUndoubtedly, it can be a bizarre experience, but those looking for a relaxing and often funny puzzle game will find an enjoyable game that has enough charm to justify its existence. Solving fun puzzles while you control a giant hole that swallows everything is something that only the world of indie games could provide.
