Croc 2: Kingdom of the Gobbos is a remaster of the sequel to the multi-million-selling 3D platformer Croc: Legend of the Gobbos (1997), which was itself remastered last year and described in AMO’s review as ‘a charming throwback to a time when games were simpler, with a focus on personality and fun.’ Launching today on digital storefronts for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, XBOX Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC on Steam and GOG.com (with a Nintendo Switch 2 version to follow at a later date), it features enhanced visuals and a range of quality-of-life improvements.

Wildwood Down is an upcoming point-and-click adventure set in Wildwood, New Jersey. It features innovative visuals that combine 2D pixel art with 3D environments, and the protagonist is based on the developers’ childhood friend Daniel, who has Down syndrome – he not only voices the main character but also helped write the game’s dialogue.
