Samudra offers a chill underwater gameplay experience, but one that also strives to teach players about environmental awareness and the pollution that is adversely affecting the world’s oceans. It’s all about fun and learning this week with the Modern Gamer.
Standing in as an assist on a First Contact Mission that goes predictably wrong, the Cerritos and her crew must find a way to rescue the ailing Archimedes, rescue the Lapperians, and work through their rage at Freeman’s promotion. This week: “First First Contact.”
Lake is probably unlike most other games you have played. It’s a chill non-adventure that finds main character Meredith pulled from the big city to help her dad delivering mail in the small town where she grew up. Thus, Lake is a slice-of-life heaven.
During a long haul warp journey, the crew of the Cerritos engage in some much needed recreation. Boimler looks to make a new friend, and we get a much-needed look at what life is like on the lower decks of other ships. This week, the penultimate episode in Lower Decks Season Two: “wej Duj.”
The world’s Newest MMO is appropriately named New World. Representing the first big foray into video games from Amazon, New World is a massive endeavor that reimagines the colonial time period, but one where magic, monsters and even the undead rise up to challenge a nation’s God-given right to rule the world.
As part of a massive project that will provide power and heat to thousands of Bajoran homes, the Bajoran government plans to tap a moon’s planetary core. Major Kira encounters a particularly difficult obstacle. Meanwhile, Jake and Nog venture into capitalism, Ferengi-style. This week on DS9 Rewatch: “Progress.”
Gas Station Simulator tasks you with rebuilding and refurbishing an abandoned gas station somewhere along the storied Route 66 in the American Southwest. You will also be dodging your uncle’s goons and generally trying to keep the aptly named Dust Bowl above water.
Ensigns Mariner, Tendi, Rutherford, and Boimler get abandoned on a satellite. On a completely unrelated note, the Cerritos crew must undergo Starfleet readiness drills. Will Captain Freeman’s crew pass the tests? Will the Lower Deckers secure access to replicated lobster mac’n’cheese? This week: I, Excretus.
Hoa is one of the most beautiful 2D platformers you will ever experience, with platforms ranging from flowers that chime when you touch them to bugs to majestic jellyfish. It’s both soothing and sensational, and a leap above most others.
It’s a regular day on the Cerritos, so Boimler and Mariner are off escorting a mad supercomputer to the Daystrom Institute. Rutherford tries to help Billups repair a Ren faire ship, and Tendi has to confront one of the uglier realities of Starfleet life. This week on Lower Decks: “Where Pleasant Fountains Lie.”
