13 Awesome Summer 2018 Video Games You Probably Missed
6. Forgotton Anne
Though some might be deterred by the game's "anime bait" visual style, you really shouldn't sleep on this utterly beautiful, transfixing puzzle-platformer.
Studio Ghibli fans in particular will love this intoxicatingly bizarre adventure game, which while lacking much difficulty and being fiercely linear for the most part, boasts delightful characters and an endearingly weird narrative.
If you've got a PC that can handle it, the game looks eye-wateringly spectacular when played at 4K resolution, and with a play-time of around 8-10 hours, it's easy enough to casually blast through over a relaxing weekend.
If, like yours truly, you were left crushingly disappointed by Ni No Kuni II earlier in the year, Forgotton Anne delivers similarly eye-popping visuals along with a far more engaging narrative and characters. The less you read about the story going in, though, the better.
