Arranger caught my eye a few months ago when I saw a gameplay trailer and I knew it was going to be something worth playing. Consider this: classic tile based movement, but all the tiles ahead and behind you move along with you. It released today and I am already loving it (being 3.5hrs into playing it). The puzzle dynamics are excellent and some of them evoke a nostalgic sense for puzzles from Chip's Challenge which I grew up playing.

It's available on Steam, Epic, Playstation, and Switch right now if you want to check it out.

Apparently Capcom posted a simple statement and photo on X (formerly Twitter) last week noting the 25th anniversary of the original Dino Crisis game being released. Without a doubt, Dino Crisis is one of my all-time favorite games and it represents, to me, an excellent example of linear story telling with interesting gameplay, puzzles, and ambience. In particular, I love the dynamic camera work that appears in the game and the fully 3D environments that separated it from the similar Resident Evil games at the time.

While I will be expecting nothing from this I do share the hope it'll be revived some day. I also hope and recommend you, dear reader, look it up and either play it (on your original consoles or through emulation) or watch a full playthrough to see what it's like.
