Now that the weather’s prettying-up, it’s a good time to get out of the house. By which I mean, play video games about leaving the house. Nature beckons, but only digitally.
Fortunately, a handful of cute indie games are lining up to tempt you this month with various depictions of the out-of-door. Some are grandiose, like King of the Seas — a procedurally-generated pirate adventure. Others are puny, like the Pikmin-esque The Wild at Heart, in which tiny little creatures do your bidding.
And then, of course, outside of the indie space there is the much-awaited Resident Evil 8, a game that is in the strange position of having been entirely overshadowed by a single character: the towering Lady Dimitrescu, a nine-foot-tall matron who awakened so many giantess fantasies in unsuspecting fans that Capcom seems to have shifted the bulk of its marketing strategy onto reminding customers how much they want to be stepped on. Somebody warn Dan that he’s about to get a bunch of letters from people trying to work through those erotic feelings.
