Holy crap, Blue Prince is amazing. It’s such an awesome thing in our industry that a game can come out of the blue and totally surprise you with how amazing it is. This was the type of game XBLA was created for.
Go play this game - Xbox, PS or Steam. Well done @dogubomb.
Just rolled credits on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Fantastic game, must play. 10/10 for me. Let’s hope this is the first of a series.
