Super light wanderer
The years continue to pass and he continues to fight. Hyper Light Drifter is a simple idea taken to the extreme. A mix of the original “The Legend Of Zelda: A link To The Past” with the most addictive part of the original “Diablo”. Alx Preston, creator and leader of Heart Machine, has poured out all his personal emotions and sensations here: the heart The headline is that Preston suffers from a congenital heart condition that forces him to live with a pacemaker.

Halfway between a graphic adventure and a typical 2D platformer, this hand-drawn work deserves to be given a chance.

How well does the classic MiHoYo play on iPad. What can we say about this “gacha” which has become classic which uses the pretension of being totally free to lead us into an adventure where the elementary elements determine the synergies and the strengths of a team that you will build from scratch.

Cooking Mama: Cooking!
The one that you can download and play whatever your age is this little toy born on Nintendo consoles (the DS, to be precise) and which is now a landmark. If you like cooking, frying or making muffins without risking burning yourself, this is the best example to bring out the chef in you.
