Picture this: you get home from work and your wife has cooked you a romantic dinner. The game takes place in a single room over the course of… well… 12 minutes. Twelve Minutes is one of the most intriguing premises for a video game that we saw at E3 and easily one of the best indies that nobody saw coming.
WAY TO THE WOODS E3 PC
Not really, we’re just very excited about the idea of a game about skateboarding birds, and you should be too.Ĭurrently, SkateBIRD is only set to release on PC sometime this year, but we’ve got our fingers crossed for console ports further down the line.
WAY TO THE WOODS E3 PRO
The game promises to have solid physics and a simple control scheme that you’ll feel at home with “if you dig Pro Skaters of a Hawk variety.” Heck, there better be a Hawk called Tony in this game or we’re gonna riot. You’ll be able to explore more worlds as you grow in fame, and can even organize skate events to compete against your other bird friends. SkateBIRD is all about showing off your skateboarding skills to propel you to Tweeter (see what they did there?) fame. And your skatepark is a tabletop littered with random office supplies, but still. The folks over at Glass Bottom Games don’t, though, and that’s why we’re finally going to get the skateboarding game we’ve all been waiting for.Įxcept… it has birds instead of humans. Skate 4 didn’t show up at E3 again this year, and at this point, we’re almost convinced that EA hates money. Spiritfarer is due to release on Xbox One, PS4, and PC sometime in 2020.
WAY TO THE WOODS E3 UPGRADE
They’ll be able to help you upgrade your ship, weave various bits of clothing, cook your food, and mine for minerals. What’s more, the entire thing can be played in co-op, with player two assuming the role of Daffodil the cat. It’s got a soundtrack that perfectly compliments its old-school cartoony art style, and we’re pretty sure it’ll be difficult not to cry at this one. That means you’ll be exploring new lands for materials to expand your boat, helping your spirit friends out with menial chores such as doing a spot of gardening or gathering items for them and traversing stormy seas on your increasingly-giant boat. You’re Stella, a ferrymaster who must build a boat to explore the world, care for your animal spirit friends, and release them into the afterlife. Microsoft showed a bunch of great-looking indie titles during its conference, and Spiritfarer was another one that dazzled fans with its charming art style and somber story.įor those unaware, Spiritfarer is a management game about dying. It looks like one of those games you could pour hours and hours into, and we’re ready to do just that. While they’re tasked with destroying the Staff of Yendor, each character has their own events and encounters which will ultimately change the way the narrative pans out. What’s more, each heroes’ story isn’t the exact same. Though permadeath may be present in Unexplored 2, players will have the ability to try again with a new adventurer and the knowledge of what they did wrong, or start over anew in a completely fresh world.

Its roguelite elements are primarily focused on its Legacy system, which sees your past heroes’ actions “impact the fortunes of those that follow in their footsteps.” Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer’s Legacy is another stunning-looking indie well worth keeping your eye on when we hit 2020.ĭue to release on PC and consoles and from developer Big Sugar, this roguelite action-RPG sees you exploring a lush world, comprised of various different environments to explore, formidable enemies to defeat, and magical creatures to encounter.
