Human Fall Flat is a one to four player Co-op, 3rd person, puzzle game that focus on physics based and climbing puzzles. The game was fun and introduces you to each level by dropping your character into the world and falling flat on your face. Each level has its own theme and puts the player into a new world each level and the player must work through the level solving puzzles and jumping obstacles to complete the level. I played through the game in one setting with a group for friends and from start to finish including a small break for food took 5 hours. Considering this was each of our first time playing the game and none of use were too good at puzzle games we had hoped to have a little bit more of game time, but we enjoyed every minute of game play. One thing to say about our play through because of us having multiple people we were able to cheese our way though some puzzles by having more than one set of arms. Also due to how the checkpoint system in Human Fall Flat only requires one person to reach the checkpoint for all players in the game to get the check point there wasn't any real punishment for trying to cheese some puzzles. Also the fact of each of us had bought the game during the steam winter sell, so we were able to buy the game for 60% off which helped a bunch. Overall we had wished that there was more maps and maybe Steam Workshop integration allowing users to create maps for us to try, but sadly that feature has yet to be added but overall the game was a lot of fun to play with friends.

Over the past few weeks I have been playing a lot of the new legend of Zelda game for the Nintendo Switch. The game in my opinion is purely amazing from the perspective from someone who has never really played a legend of Zelda game before but have always watched friends play or seen a play through on YouTube this game lives up to the hype the franchise gets. The game is an single player open world story driven game that allows the player to have lots of freedom with how they play the game. The game at it's core is very simple you the hero have to save the princess and beat the bad guy and along the way you kill enemies and get stronger until you fight the finial boss which in Breath of the Wild (BoTW) is Calamity Ganon. But the game is very in depth in the ways that you can play though it and navigate the sprawling world that feels to get lost in. Whether it's look for more shrines, which are mini puzzles to get spirit orbs to get more health or stamina, or doing fun and rewarding side quests to learn more about the world of BoTW, or even hunting after the collectibles in the game that feel fun and rewarding to collect unlike other open world games with collectibles like the Assassin Creeds franchise. The game is also creative in the fact that how you can interact with the world. Say there is a steep mountain you have to climb but might not have enough stamina to climb it safely, you could try to find a new route, do more shrines to get more spirit orbs to increase your stamina wheel, make a special food that either gives you more stamina or a speed boost, or if you wanted you could make a fire and burn some tall grass to make an updraft which you can use to can elevation and start climbing from there. The ways in which the game allows players to solve problems they may have is fun and rewarding and is something I haven't seen in a game for a long time.
Warframe is a free to play game by Digital Extremes. Warframe is a third-person action shooter than can be played alone or co-op where you play as a Tenno who controls a Warframe to complete a variety of missions and against a plethora of enemies. Over the past few weeks me and my friends have gotten back into Warframe due to the largest update ever released for Warframe came out. The update added lots of new content to farm for as well as an open world level with daily missions to farm for a new reputation faction. Also the the new update came a rework to the "focus" system allowing players to easily upgrade their focus. Warframe is fun for me in the since that I can play a few missions or do a few dailies in a under a hour allowing time for homework and other school related projects. Also the free to play aspect of the game allows for everyone to have a chance at playing the game and even though there is a large amount of in-game purchases available you can either farm for or trade for everything in the game except cosmetics allowing for a true free to play experience.
