Devolver Digital I’ve played a whole lot of puzzle games in my life, but I can safely say that I’ve never played one as pitch-black as Children of the Sun. Published by Devolver Digital, the newly announced Children of the Sun is an unholy hybrid between a shooter and a spatial reasoning game. It follows a lone wolf with a sniper rifle on a bloody quest for revenge against an evil religious cult. He has to take out swaths of zealots one bullet at a time. It’s as dark as video game premises get, but one that’s steeped…

Most shooters aren’t a simple test of aim and split-second precision. You’re also trialed on your movement, eye for cover, and forward-thinking. It’s a common recipe for the genre, but the ones that stand out most don’t follow a by-the-book approach. Children of the Sun takes that formula and turns it on its head, and if were just any ole shooter, it wouldn’t have held my attention long. However, it manages to be so much more with its puzzle game wrapping paper, ensuring I can’t get enough just from my earliest of first…

One of my favorite multiplayer experiences of all time revolved around one wild night with New Super Mario Bros. Wii. It was my Junior year of college and a room full of friends all got together to try its four-player mode, passing Wiimotes around between deaths. It was the most chaotic thing I have ever experienced, with everyone screaming at one another and slowly descending into madness. That experience has always left me hungry for more cooperative 2D platformers, filling the role that shooters normally hold as…
