This week the Time Waster is all about Aura of Worlds. This is a 2D rogue-like game still in Early Access that Billy is planning to keep an eye on.
Mulaka is a solid, fun entry into the action-adventure genre. But the greatest and most enduring feature that Mexico-based developer Lienzo treats its players to is a well-researched and deep cultural history of the Tarahumara region, history and peoples.
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Redux is a mystery game that got great accolades when it was originally released, and now is breaking more ground with an enhanced Xbox One X version, plus a new free roam mode that lets you just wander around and admire the views.

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice uses stunning audio visual elements to represent Senua’s psychosis, as players follow her into Hel, but the experience could be a little thin for some.
Gorogoa is a beautiful, hand-drawn puzzle game that is like stepping into the pages of a picture book and then stepping into the pages of another picture. It’s a gorgeous Celtic knot of a game that delivers on the promises it made when it was revealed six years ago.
