Jumping on the success of games like Journey and The Unfinished Swan, Bound immerses us into a narrative that’s more about the atmosphere and art than gameplay. There may not be a lot of press coverage out there for Candle, but it is definitely a game to keep an eye out for.
Candle is a relatively obscure game, with most of its reviews coming from foreign critics and websites. The indigenous culture is apparent in the towns and characters and they blend excellently with the international style music. Sources of light must be uncovered and used, and sometimes the candle must be blown out in order to advance.Ĭandle's unique gameplay and alluring visuals are accompanied by a distinctive Spanish theme. Teku uses his candle to illuminate new areas or overcome challenges, but the flames do not last forever. He instead focuses on stealth elements to combat enemies along with using his trusty candle. Teku is not a speedy or powerful protagonist like in many other platformers. The soothing narration along with the beautiful hand-drawn watercolor graphics make the entire game feel like you're in a living painting. Named after the studio, the story follows a young man named Teku who is on a quest to save his shaman apprentice. Candle is a slow-paced, stealthy platformer. Teku Studios from Spain wanted to make an impact on the indie scene with their debut game. The game mixes aesthetic, humor, and fun gameplay to make a remarkable experience. You can infinitely fly throughout the levels but must collide into enemies to decapitate them and take their bodies. Bodies are essentially different weapons, and you can upgrade your helmet in different ways like in other Metroidvania games.
The gameplay in Headlander is completely new yet familiar at the same time. I’ll let your imagination figure the rest of that out. Robot enemies and NPC’s are former humans who uploaded their consciousness’ into what is called the Pleasure Dome. The theme in Headlander is unique, and under the creative umbrella of Double Fine and Adult Swim, this comes to no surprise. Yes, a platformer game where you don’t necessarily jump everywhere, but you fly through the levels in order to take control of robot bodies to make your own. It jumbles Metroid with old school sci-fi movies like Alien and puts you in control of a floating head. Headlanderis easily the most unconventional game on this list. It doesn’t take much digging to find out about the hottest titles like Insideand Super Mario Run, but if you’re jumping for joy at the idea of playing some of the best platformers of 2016, look no more. Last year was no different, with some of the best platformers of the decade releasing.
