I’m still neck-deep in solving the mysteries of Blue Prince. Hopefully it’s permissible to talk about here as it’s hardly the most patient of gaming I’ve done (I bought it on release day). It did have a release week 10% sale though so technically I didn’t pay full price?

The game is absolutely great and it’s extremely hard to talk about without spoilers, which would ruin your experience. It’s a half-roguelite/half-puzzle game and it’s so well made and so intricate. It will take you a little while to start peeling back the layers, but once you start getting into it you realise just how much depth there is under the surface.

If you have any interest in puzzles you should play this game. Like right now. It’s cheap too, not even €30 full price. It’ll probably be a GOTY candidate and it’s definitely the best new game I’ve played in quite a while. Absolutely beautiful distinctive art style too, which meshes perfectly with the themes of the game.
