Rime
Release: May
Available: PS4, Xbox, Switch, PC
Originally a PS4 exclusive, Rime was recently re-revealed to the world to be available on just about anything that could play it. Another game announced long ago only to now show its face, Rime appears to have retained its Ico meets Zelda gameplay and Ghibli aesthetic, and it looks great. A puzzle solver, players will need to use everything in their environment to proceed through a cursed temple and find freedom. Elements such as native creatures, disappearing structures, and even a day/night cycle have been implemented to add layers of creativity and complexity to each puzzle. Even from the brief shots of the newest trailer, we can see diversity added to these puzzles, which will be necessary to keep things engaging. If you were a fan of The Last Guardian last year, you’ll definitely be looking forward to this one.
