IGF 2014 Impressions

I decided to look through this year's IGF entrants and see if I could find some interesting new games to be excited about. I chose to only write about games I had never heard of before, so a lot of really good looking games were left out. Might write a list of those later.

CAVE! CAVE! DEUS VIDET!

All I know about this game is that it's centered around Hieronymus Bosch, it's a graphic novel type of game, the plot doesn't sound terrible and the trailer is very nice.



Denisovan

A "fictional imagining of a girl who died 40,000 years ago" apparently. It doesn't really look like a game I would necessarily enjoy playing, but the trailer did intrigue me.




Savage: The Shard of Gosen

This one I chose to list mostly because I found the graphics full of charm and it seems like a game the creators really put their heart into.



Some Thing Clicked

I have no idea what this is about but I absolutely loved the trailer.



Crypt Worlds: Your Darkest Desires, Come True

Parts of this trailer look very surreal and the graphics ooze of retro 3D charm at times. Leaves me with a mixed impression as the gameplay seen in the video didn't really click with me.



ASUNDER - Earthbound

Apparently this is an Occulus Rift game. I see potential in the premise even if I did have problems with some of the execution. I just hope the final bit in the trailer isn't an indication that this will end up being a typical survival horror/zombie game...



Spate

Not sure at all what I think of this, but the graphics are at least kinda nice.



Games without videos: Endlight
