A first look at the new sequel to Planet of Lana, Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf. My quick takeaway is that it's an excellent game with a very high level of polish. If you like narrative driven puzzle platformers like Inside or Out of this World, you'll probably find a few things to like about this.

![RockLeeSmile Live! - Mortal Shell II [Beta Playtest]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lqVMamUJSt8/mqdefault.jpg "RockLeeSmile Live! - Mortal Shell II [Beta Playtest]
I gave Mortal Shell II a spin for a couple of hours and aside from a bug at the very start that was easily fixed by quitting out to the main menu, I had an excellent experience. Mortal Shell II seems to be a pretty big departure from the original featuring an upgrade in scope, playstyle options and general fluidity.
I absolutely love the art and design approach featuring an otherworldly surrealist aesthetic and hope they got even further into this in the full version. The combat also feels about as good as I could ask - punchy and responsive with a great emphasis on weight shifting naturalistically.
For anyone on the fence, you dont need to have played the original to enjoy this. I look forward to trying more when I can!

*Thanks to the publisher for sending a key.
Neva is an absolutely gorgeous platformer by Nomada Studio, the developer of GRIS. Theyve done it again and made a beautiful follow-up to such a well crafted experience. These are my first impressions without spoiling too much of the game.

Here we check out a remarkable and incredibly dark narrative game called There Swings A Skull: Grim Tidings by Conor Walsh and Quinn K. Its at times a tough one to watch and truth be told I wanted to finish it but I felt if I kept playing I would end up in tears. Youve been warned! Its very well written and absolutely worth a look if you are ok with some difficult subject matter.

Part 3 is the conclusion of our playthrough of Under The Waves. Some pretty interesting story beats here and I like how the gameplay relates to the increasing depression and isolation the character feels.

Thank you to the publisher Neo Corporation for providing a key for review.
Lets try the first hour or so of the very pleasant and aesthetically lovely Shin chan: Shiro and the Coal Town.
