All I did was tap on boxes to clear them and then pull a lever here and there, while occasionally pushing a piece of a pipe. I played through the first level and some of the second.

I didn’t have high expectations from a game with such a generic, keyword-stuffed name as Puzzle Adventure: Mystery Game. You can also watch some of my video below to get an idea of what it’s like. I wouldn’t spend $20 on a Netflix subscription for it but it’s worth playing if you already have one. I’m glad something like this exists to raise awareness. It’s a long walk back and forth and I can’t imagine doing something like that on a regular basis just to get water. The woman’s awkward animations distracted me a bit from the game’s message and had me laughing when it was supposed to be serious, but overall the meaning gets across.

It’s a bit janky at times and the few puzzles aren’t always clear, but there is a help button if you get stuck. It’s set against gorgeous hand-painted scenery and is fully voice-acted to bring it to life. The game follows an African woman on her journey to a clean steam to fill her jerry can with water. It’s an educational game made with charity:water, meant to raise awareness about the lack of clean and safe drinking water in parts of the world. I’m currently subscribed to Netflix, so I was able to play through the new game, This Is A True Story. I recommend watching some of my gameplay video below if you want to see what it’s like. I still want to spend more time with it because it is fun to explore and find new gear to mess around with. My only real complaint at the moment is that the on-screen controls aren’t customizable, and they’re a bit awkwardly placed on my iPad. So for what it is, I’m perfectly happy with the core gameplay loop of blowing things up, earning upgrades and then trying to get deeper. I don’t feel I have anything to prove to myself with these kinds of games, as I just find it fun to run around and kill things. But I don’t mind it in action games like this, since it’s not a slow, methodical game but more about reflexes. I’m usually not a fan of such systems in turn-based games because I think it muddies the water and makes it hard to tell if my skill and strategy are improving or I’m just brute forcing my way through. Those upgrades are permanent, so over time things should feel a little easier.

But you also earn skill points from each run that you can use to upgrade your skills. All these things can help you get farther. While doing so, you pick up all sorts of equipment such as guns, swords, or even armor. It’s a roguelite in the vein of Dead Cells, where each run is different and you try to get as far as possible. I only spent about half an hour with Fury Unleashed, but I really like what I saw. Still, there’s much to discuss, so let’s get to it. I spent a good amount of time completing Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? and also finishing my walkthrough for the latest Adventure Escape game. This week was quieter than the last, and most of the games I played weren’t new. Hi everyone, and welcome back to My Week Unwrapped, where I discuss all the games I’ve been playing over the last seven days.
