Five perfect games for changing the clock (in summer)

In the real world, we cannot control time, which passes inexorably and, as the poet reminded us, it is like water escaping between our fingers. But in video games it’s another story because we have examples of narratives that take us to other times, or just allow us to briefly go back and forth to complete the objective they have given us . At any rate, We are going to celebrate the time change this weekend in a very special way.

The power of time in the palm of your hand

Few things are more satisfying than being able to do whatever we want over time…in video games at least. This feeling that we’re some kind of hero with supernatural powers is really cool. So for the reason that the next morning the time changes in Europe

to adapt to summer time, and this at 2:00 p.m. come dawn, it will be 3 a.m., we’ve decided to pick five classics where we can go back and forth seamlessly from past to future and present. Or vice versa.

Without anything more to add, let’s start with our selection list.

very hot

We start with a game that has unique mechanics. A simple title in which we will have to face hordes of armed enemies to the teeth, with the incentive that time will only move forward when we move, so we will have to be very careful in the decisions we make.

Singularity

A title which, in our opinion, was not particularly appreciated at the time and which is magnificent. In an alternate world in which, after World War II, the only nuclear-armed country is the United States, Russia, desperate to win the nuclear war, is a mess. Time travel, parallel realities in the purest style of back to the future 2

and decisions that condition the whole story. Bright!

life is strange

One of the most important graphic adventures of recent years. There we will control a girl who has visions of the destruction of her hometown, and she will be the only one who can solve it. In this story time will be against us and even if we can handle it, It will be an enemy to defeat to save our small coastal town.

Quantum Break

We come to the game that has best taken advantage of the manipulation of time in recent years, since we will control two protagonists who, once an experiment has gone really wrong, they will get temporary powers

and they will be plunged into mutual pursuit. An exciting story but with a gameplay that many other titles would like to have.

tentacle day

For last we left “the mother of all time travel games”. One of the most memorable and acclaimed graphic adventures in history. This LucasArts classic presents us with a crazy story that involves evil tentacles who want to dominate the world, a group of children in the purest style of The Goonies and a journey through time where we will meet some of the most iconic figures and places in United States history.
