It’s going to Sony’s Playstation 4, the PC and iOS first. Their new game is set on a deserted island (yeah, familiar, but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it) apparently strewn with puzzles here and there to solve in order to advance further into the game and discover who you are and why you are there.įrom everything I was able to gather, Blow and his gang were recently at a gaming convention and let slip that they probably had a couple months left of tweaking and cleaning up before the game will be releasable. Apparently he and a group of guys have partnered to bring back the hay-day of the Myst gaming experience. Well, now we have a new game from Braid developer Jonathan Blow to look forward to. I literally was bemoaning the fact that Xbox One didn’t have it on the arcade for me to go back and play again. I remember finishing the game without once looking up a cheat on the interwebs and thinking I was the king of the world. But dang-it if they weren’t the most rewarding thing ever to complete. Think time travel and warping coupled with the greatest tricks and puzzles of Myst. The puzzles were so innovative and so tricky that many of them hurt my head to solve. My wife came in more than once and would say, “um, everything ok?” And my response was always invariably, “Sure, why? I’m playing a game.” And she would say, “You aren’t moving.” “Oh that… never mind that.” I remember walking on to a new level and just staring at it for ten minutes or more. Holy crap, how do you solve this level? Anyone? And that was level 3!? It was so outside the box it jacked with your brain. Then in 2008, Jonathan Blow arrived and created a quaint little side scrolling game. Game developers were churning out button-mashing mindless nonsense left and right. Once upon a time, there was a terrible blight upon the landscape of game development. This news is going to take a little bit of setup for some of you. So many think outside the box things going on in the world of movies, books and games. It’s been like Christmas everyday around here of late.
