Don't Starve: Giant Edition
Played on: Wii U
Genre: Action-adventure, sandbox, survival
Developer: Klei Entertainment
Originally
released for PC two years ago (and, subsequently, for the Playstation 4
and Vita), Don't Starve is a gem of a game that stands as one of the
most unique titles in the Wii U e-Shop. From the get-go, it drops the
player into a Tim Burton-esque fantasy wilderness filled with resources,
animals, monsters, and what seems like an endless string of open-ended
gameplay possibilities. Your goal is to find a way survive, one day at a
time, and perhaps some day build your very own one-man empire to rule
these lands. Before that, though you'll die. A lot.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D
Played on: 3DS
Genre: Action-adventure
Developer: Grezzo / Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
If
you ask any seasoned Zelda veteran to name the most unique entry in the
series, Majora's Mask is likely to be their choice. The original
Nintendo 64 version followed in the footsteps of Ocarina of Time, which
was a pioneer of 3D exploration and is to this day considered one of the
most important games of all time. This makes Nintendo's decision to go
fresh here even bolder, and the resulting title will, at many times,
make you wish more developers followed this philosophy more often.
