I wasn't initially interested in this one because of its art style but I've been working on being more open-minded about art direction in games, so I've added it to my backlog. It's giving Where the Wild Things Are, which I wasn't a big fan of the book, but I imagine this game is much more than that book ever …

I know all the Pikman fans are playing Pikman 4, so I just want to say people shouldn’t sleep on The Wild at Heart. It’s probably my favourite game that borrows from the Pikman formula, and that adds its own twists to the mechanics. It’s also super beautiful and poignant. A great game for Pikman fans and for …

I know all the Pikman fans are playing Pikman 4, so I just want to say people shouldn’t sleep on The Wild at Heart. It’s probably my favourite game that borrows from the Pikman formula, and that adds its own twists to the mechanics. It’s also super beautiful and poignant. A great game for Pikman fans and for the Pikman curious.

Sadly it left Game Pass some time ago, but I believe it’s on PS Plus Extra and Premium, for those who have subscriptions.

P.S.A. If you have Game Pass and have time for a new game, check out The Wild at Heart before it leaves Game Pass on 15 May. A little under a fortnight should be enough time to complete the game and I can’t recommend it enough. It has a wonderful art style, a poignant story and might just be better …

A little under a fortnight should be enough time to complete the game and I can’t recommend it enough. It has a wonderful art style, a poignant story and might just be better at being a Pikman style game than Pikman itself.

Brilliant game. I did not expect this game to be this fun and the game play to be so intuitive.

Humble Games you keep amazing me with the beautiful games art and the unique game play.

Picked up a copy at the beginning of the week and finished the platinum today. LOVED it. So charming without relying on references or trope/4th wall acknowledging humor. Going to try and remember to write a full review later.

Something is up with Xbox remote play. For the second day in a row I am experiencing audio issues during remote play. First it was just slight static and popping, and now it is incessant static that is clearly caused by compression issues. Even though I can get Xbox remote play to work relatively well, I find there’s always at …

Something is up with Xbox remote play. For the second day in a row I am experiencing audio issues during remote play. First it was just slight static and popping, and now it is incessant static that is clearly caused by compression issues. Even though I can get Xbox remote play to work relatively well, I find there’s always at least a minor issue of some sort. PS remote play works like a charm and I don’t experience anything, be it audio or visual issues. The Xbox is on the same network, benefitting from the same configuration, but it’s just always a little finicky. I can put up with some video stutter but the constant static has made it nearly impossible to remote play Wild at Heart, which is a shame because it’s a nice chill game to play in bed before heading to sleep.

Soooooo cute so far! And it totally is Pikman with beautiful hand drawn 2D environments and sprites.

I really wanted to finish this, but I got stuck at a bad autosave where I couldn't get out of a pinned-in area about 10 hours in.

Got to squeeze it in before Rift Apart if I can, lol. Likelier that I will wait until later in June to …
