It’s been a lovely week of Easter holidaying in our household, and that’s meant that when we’ve not been downing chocolate like it’s some kind of spectator sport, we’ve been playing quite a lot of games as we ride the subsequent sugar high. Minecraft and Roblox are top of the house charts, though I don’t really know why Roblox is so popular.
In my personal gaming time I’ve basically just continued playing Monster Hunter Rise, but I have also started Outriders and I’m really enjoying the sci-fi set up, even if it otherwise feels pretty familiar. Besides that, there’s been Genesis Noir and we also returned to the rubbish PS4 version of Godzilla game after watching Kong vs Godzilla. Of the two, the movie is infinitely better, though it’s also infinitely stupid.

It’s a marriage of jazz and film noir in a point-and-click adventure game that sometimes works better as an audiovisual plaything than it does a series of puzzles. But the game’s visual style is a clear standout.
The monochromatic, abstract, line-drawn look that makes
Genesis Noir so unique comes from a host of influences: classic film, Italian literature, other indie games. The real mystery to solve was combining those ideas in a way that makes sense and it actually ended in a playable game.
