There are also rocks you push around while you’re swimming and they don’t really put up a fight, so I’m n out sure why they’re even there.

But the other blobs’ symbols don’t have shortcuts in the corner of the screen, so you’re still forced to tap on them, making it pointless to have any of them in the corner. The main blob’s buttons can be pressed either on him or from the corner of your screen. I’m also confused by some design decisions. After about twenty tries I gave up and decided the game is not for me. It’s hard to explain, so you might just want to watch my video to see what I mean. Because one button you press sets off a sequence that eventually plays a note you need, but if you’re too close to it at the time, the symbol you pressed could hit the string of symbols instead and mess you up. I eventually quit, though, when I encountered a string of notes that required very specific timing and also apparently expected me to move between notes instead of standing still.

It was a very frustrating experience, but I finally managed. That changed first when I got to a section where it wanted me to double-tap and swipe to swim faster and get past whirlpools. I was on board at first, though not really sure where it was going, and partially convinced it was geared at kids. The idea is to play the notes in the right sequence when you see a string of them. As you progress, you acquire more buttons (when I stopped playing I had three) and you also pick up friends who have their own buttons. So if it was blocking your path, now you can go through. That music note will hit the symbol and clear it. When you come across the symbol of that button in the world, you press it and it will play a music note. You play as a little blob with a button on him. There are no words, but it’s easy enough to get the basics down. The Lullaby of Life is the latest Apple Arcade release, but unfortunately it broke the steak of great games for me.

You can read my full review here and check out my walkthrough guide if you get stuck and need help. But it’s still very much worth playing and one of my favorite adventure games of recent history, as well as one of my favorite Apple Arcade games. I do want to play through it again when achievements are added so I can try to make some better choices. It perhaps would have been better if they waited until most of the issues were ironed out, but I thankfully didn’t encounter any game-breaking bugs that prevented me from completing the game. Beyond a Steel Skyĭespite having a few bugs and lacking achievements at the moment, I thoroughly enjoyed my first playthrough of Revolution Software’s Beyond a Steel Sky, the sequel to Beneath a Steel Sky that released 26 years ago. Hopefully these roundups will help you decide which games to focus on first. Some are easy to recommend, but others have issues I’ll touch upon. Today’s roundup includes five new games that I tried and others that got updates. But as I cover more games, I’ll be linking to that coverage here so you can find it all easily. There are already over 100 games available and I’m only one person, so please bear with me. The idea is to include gameplay videos and blurbs to help my readers decide which games to play first. As I make my way through the Apple Arcade games, I’ll be posting my impressions about the games I played since the previous issue.

It’s similar to my weekly roundup called My Week Unwrapped. Hi everyone, and welcome back to my roundups of Apple Arcade games, called Apple Arcade Unwrapped.
