Unknown Pleasures: Against the odds
There’s a drawing of Mario in the office. It’s on the wall directly to my left, and whenever I’m plotting something I have to look at it so Matt and Alice don’t know I’m scheming against them. I don’t even like Mario, but now he’s part of the process. That seems weirdly appropriate, because a lot of this week’s selection is drawn from genres that I don’t like, and yet I’ve enjoyed them anyway.
Yes, it’s time once again for Unknown Pleasures, our regular selection of the best under-appreciated games from the unstoppable tide of new games on Steam.
Overcoming my pettiness this week: azure aliens, ancient evils, and CARDS!
