Nothing Will Stop Them, Not Even the Obstacles of this Dangerously Cute Puzzle Platformer (PC)

Have you ever been lost in a song so deeply that you’re transported into another world, a preferred nature spot, or just find peace within the colors and shapes of a painting? Faerie Afterlight has done this for me. Created by the developers, Clay Game Studios, this Indonesian influenced game, with lovely music, folk art and beautiful visuals transported me into what might be the coziest and most chill Metroidvania I have played since both Ori games.
The Story
You don’t have the full story from playing this demo, but I will try to explain what I understood so far. You start off in Lumina, where faeries protect the light of their precious home. You begin by controlling this adorable blob of some sorts who seems to not remember his name. In the beginning of his journey, he runs into this faerie who introduces us to part of the big picture in the story. Basically, Lucentia was the ruler of Lumina and brought peace and order and protected the light in their world. However, the evil mastermind, Kradyrev who was imprisoned, broke free from his seal and with his immense powers, destroyed Lucentia, took her core for himself and created darkness in Lumina. We learn that this cute little blob is Kimo and his trusty sidekick is, Wispy and together they go on a journey to restore the light in Lumina.
The Gameplay
I loved the battle system of this game. While Kimo doesn’t really do much except walk around smacking enemies with what looks like a blade, the entire game is carried by Wispy who has one of the best abilities in the game: mind control. Wispy can control enemies with her mind in order to use their help in the platforming of this game. And boy, is there a lot of platforming. She can also redesign environments, depending on the paths you take and unleash a powerful attack, provided you have enough energy for that. For just a sidekick, Wispy sure has more abilities than Kimo. Overall, this is a puzzle platformer, so get ready to use your thinking cap to figure out how to unlock hidden pathways, locked gates and discover 100% of each area you unlock. Overall, the puzzles, the platforms, the enemies and boss fights, bring a thrilling experience, one that takes me back to when I experienced Ori and the Blind Forest for the first time.
The Environment
The contrast of dark and pastel colors really emphasized this visually beautiful world that was created by the developers. The visuals remind me of looking at an abstract painting, inspired by folk art with structures and visuals influenced strongly by Indonesian culture. The background of the game is very impressive as well, one might encounter waterfalls, stretches of greenery and Indonesian themed structures, making this game feel like

Games Workshop will print you a copy of the original 1987 rules for Warhammer 40K
Getting a hold of the latest products for Warhammer 40,000 can be tricky, given the game’s huge surge in popularity. But getting vintage 40K products — known as OldHammer to collectors — is even harder with sought-after models and rare books selling for huge mark-ups online. So this weekend Games Workshop is throwing us a bone (likely part of a skull) and reprinting the original rules for 40K, first released in 1987. The print-on-demand run of new old books begins Oct. 14 and runs through Oct. 23, according to a news release.

This Starfield tribute to Metal Gear Solid's awfully long ladder scene would keep even the most determined space pirate away from your loot
Why do all spaceships have to be horizontal? Nevermind the practicality or anything like that, I want to explore space in something a little more vertical. A silo, a tower, perhaps. Or maybe even a ship that is just one very, very long ladder a la Snake.
