Gold-Plated Games

Better late than never, right? The Weeklong Deals are thick with adventures, particularly of the horror persuasion, if that’s your jam. Detention in particular is one that should not be missed. Aside from that it’s the usual grab-bag of indie platformers, hidden object titles, and the like.

I’m going to be stepping back a bit from big reviews to cover some smaller ones on my list, and give me a chance to recharge after my little ARPG series. This includes a one-day break tomorrow to make time for a review of a narrative game on Wednesday, which means no indie feature this week. I do have a few very notable titles to review later this month, and then boy oh boy do I have more fun in store for everyone in June!
