A chill puzzle adventure coming next year
Here’s the announcement trailer:
“Climb everything” is really all I need from a video game synopsis to be onboard. It helps that the gecko looks so perfectly animated, with its cute little arms working overtime and its tail slinking along behind it. I believe this guy can control a boat.
Although the trailer above shows some dashing and darting in combat, The Gecko GodsSteam pagedescribes it as “combat-light” and leans heavily into it as a “chill” experience about solving puzzles and exploring the remains of a lost civilization. There’s a story to steer you through the game, but also an “open” island with optional secrets and collectibles, if that’s your thing.
While I’m glad I won’t have to spend much time battling ancient robots, I do like the look of the little dash-and-grab when eating bugs. I like it when the animals in animal games do their animal things.
