Echo Generation 2 takes place a few years before its predecessor; that one taking place in the 90’s and this one standing with both feet firmly planted in the 80’s. From what I gather, there are at least a few returning characters this time around, namely younger versions of the first games protagonists.

Zero Parades centers on Hershel, codenamed Cascade—a spy who finds herself back in the field after a prior job went awry for reasons we're not yet privy to. Unfortunately, her new assignment is starting out no better as she arrives in the city of Portofiro to find her partner, Pseudopod, “zeroed out”—alive, yet mysteriously unresponsive.

You could call Artis Impact a turn-based RPG, but honestly, its RPG mechanics—while present—seem to take a backseat to its narrative-heavy focus and greater message. The story, which conveys those messages, goes places—LOTS of places.

Freeride drops players all too quickly into a spirit world with too many characters to name. And it’s not long before they’re thrust into a surreal adventure supported by telekinetic abilities that allow them to interact with the world at large.

Wanderstop is in some ways, a cozy game for people who don't like cozy games.
