You know, there aren’t enough games about being animals.
I’m not talking about Sonic the Hedgehog, or garbage platformers where four-legged animals are made bi-pedal for some reason.
I’m talking about games that attempt to mimic the experience of being that actual animal.
Like this game, Snake Pass. Which allows you to slither like a snake.
I want to play this video game.
Snake Pass started life as a game jam project and has now evolved into an actual thing. The snake physics thing has managed to shoehorn itself into a late-90s stye 3D platformer, which sounds a little bit strange in theory, but in practice it looks quite quaint and fun. I think I like the idea of this innovative game being paired with a more traditional level design. Sorta like if you tried to play drum and bass with a mandolin.
That’s a pretty terrible metaphor, but I guess I’m just looking forward to playing something traditional with a unique spin.
Also snakes. Snakes are cool.
