Coming from the creator of The Stanley Parable and The Beginners Guide, many thought there would be some sort of meta level shenanigans hidden midway through the game. Wanderstop was marketed as a narrative cosy esque game – a far cry from the developer’s previous works. Of course developers can branch out but this seemed almost too suspicious of a pivot. Turns out there actually isn’t any and the meta elements are more in the way that the characters journey mimics that of everyday people – the concept of Burnout.

When I moved from TheNerdRock to CraigPlaysGames, one of the things I told myself is that I wouldn’t force myself to talk about every game, especially if I didn’t finish it. There are times where I do want to talk about a game but can’t find a good way to talk about it, such as the case with Super Mario RPG last year. Here, I have two games that I did enjoy, so why can’t I review them?

For the best part of a month so far, I’ve made an effort to change that. I’ve replaced a bunch of my social media usage with two Pokemon phone games – GO and Trading Card Game Pocket and I can definitely say they’ve helped out, even if one has captured my heart a lot more than the other.
