Our top pick of the week: Blue Prince |
|
|
The indie game of the moment is Blue Prince, a genre-bending mystery/strategy/puzzle game that places you in a house and asks you to figure out its secrets. That means exploring the house while you build it, tracking down blueprints (hence the title) of the 45-room mansion before it resets at the end of each day, and hunting for the rumored room 46. Like many recent indie success stories, the game is heavy on note-taking and deeply buried secrets, so if you're the kind of player who likes banging your head against the wall because it feels good when you stop, you may have just found your new favorite game. "I think that Blue Prince is going to live on the strength of its community," writes Jay Castello in Polygon's review. "There came a point where repeating runs was not getting me anywhere, and every time, I would dread having to spend 10 or so minutes going through the motions again before getting a chance of seeing something new. (Or at least, something new that was going to make me feel like I was actually progressing toward a goal that I was interested in.) It turned out that I had missed something I could interact with in a room that I had previously written off as useless, which I only found out by talking to other people who were playing. Figuring that out had me rolling credits within a couple of hours — and more importantly, those couple of hours completely recaptured the enthusiasm and sense of discovery I'd had in the early game." |
