Positive, we’ve seen some in Atari 50, however that is the primary stand-alone Lynx launch on the platform so far as I do know. And what a very good choose, too. Certainly one of my favourite video games on Atari’s handheld, Chip’s Problem sees you tackling 100 and forty phases of puzzle motion.

This can be a remaster of a Nintendo 3DS recreation, and it consists of some easy however fulfilling fake LCD video games and a mission-based action-RPG mode. It’s completely drenched in Nineteen Eighties nostalgia, which is a novel idea that I’m shocked nobody has considered earlier than. An honest recreation if not way more than that, and the developer’s ardour and pluck actually makes you wish to throw some cash their manner every now and then. Whether or not or not that is the sport that can make you wish to try this, I can’t say. Silver Falls is a bizarre sequence like that.
Anomaly Agent ($14.99)
A trendy motion platformer recreation that’s extraordinarily well-liked over on Steam, and whereas I’ve solely performed a bit of it, it’s simple to see why. Very nice presentation, an amusing story, and the gameplay mechanics are stable.

I’ll give it extra time and maybe offer you extra ideas on it later.

One other a kind of stealth horror video games that I’m not superb with. This one options an evil nun who wields a would possibly hammer that she in all probability isn’t going to make use of to construct a sturdy bookshelf. Opinions for the sport on different platforms appear to lean on the constructive finish, and since I’m a base coward that’s actually so far as I can take you right here.
UFO: Henfield ($8.99)
An odd point-and-click type journey recreation a few man exploring a mansion after receiving a mysterious letter. Apparently there’s a lacking professor, and loads of dry comedy. The sport consists of forty completely different places, and also you’ll should journey throughout a number of time intervals.
