This new indie release features D&D-like skill checks where players roll dice to succeed at various feats while a clock clicks down. Want to escape a ruin on the edge of a messed up capitalist society? Don’t we all.
Free on Xbox/PC Game pass, OR $29.99 on Xbox/PC (Steam Deck verified).TUNIC takes about 12 hours to play the main quest, and up to 22 for any side quests. The game has such a playful approach to its map and tutorial that I’d respect it for that alone. Our own Sam Martinelli recommends going into the settings and playing in “god mode” to prioritize the joy of dungeon exploring rather than obsessing over the rogue-like elements of trying to recover all your sweet coins whenever you die. Play as a gorgeously rendered fox in a clever isometric homage to old-school Legend of Zelda games. Buckle up for laughs, religious commentary, and genuine “:o” moments. NORCO evolves the concept of a simple point-and-click adventure with surprising mini-games (calling them mini-games doesn’t seem fair that’s how good they are) as you play a character who’s returned to a very stylishly and accurately rendered New Orleans to investigate their mother’s death. So, without further intro, here are six of the very best short video games you can beat in a long weekend.
We all need a break from The Insanity that has been happening, and there’s nothing better than binging a video game over a holiday.
