"Life is Strange"? Yes.

The point-and-click genre goes time-traveling.


Full review (minimal spoilers)

Life is Strange (LIS) isn't the first point-and-click adventure to feature time-traveling as a major theme. Day of the Tentacle comes to mind -- a wacky 1993 LucasArts production and one of the first PC games I ever played.

But LIS actually makes time-traveling a game mechanic.

Back to Nature with "Horizon Zero Dawn"

Romping with robot dinos in the wilds of future Earth


First impressions (no spoilers)

It's an off-grid, post-survivalist life. The kind without running electricity and ready-made lunches.

You hunt for meat with bow-and-spear in quiet, pristine forests -- not at the local super, 'cos that was destroyed ages past in a mysterious apocalypse.
