The review

A gun that makes doors, a ruined lab, and a partner you must not drop.

Portal 2 is worth the time if you are old enough for the subject. When it ends, say what it cost the people in it. Do not skip to the next download.

Does anyone owe a neighbor, a law, or a town — or is every person out for themselves?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

The Case of the Golden Idol

68 instead of 58

The Case of the Golden Idol is still a puzzle game, and it scores 68 instead of 58. What you gain is household: Households in The Case of the Golden Idol are where the story tells the truth, if it tells it.

The eight

  1. 5
    Industry

    The work of Portal 2 is attention to people, not only to a hit point.

  2. 5
    Household

    Households in Portal 2 are where the story tells the truth, if it tells it.

  3. 5
    Piety

    Conscience shows up as a choice you cannot fully take back.

  4. 7
    Courage

    Someone in Portal 2 goes on when stopping would be easier.

  5. 4
    Republic

    The public in the tale is more than a backdrop for the hero.

  6. 5
    Temperance

    Portal 2 does not need a store to make its point. Do not add one.

  7. 9
    Truth

    Portal 2 is willing to say what the journey cost.

  8. 6
    Stewardship

    What it hands you is a story with an end, which is a kind of stewardship.

A Short Hike

A Short Hike

A bird climbing a park to get phone reception. Small, funny, and finished.

The review

A bird climbing a park to get phone reception. Small, funny, and finished.

A child can play A Short Hike with you in the room. Set the clock before it starts, and do not let a lobby of strangers become the backyard.

Return to Monkey Island

69 instead of 58

Return to Monkey Island is still a adventure game, and it scores 69 instead of 58. What you gain is courage: Someone in Return to Monkey Island goes on when stopping would be easier.

The eight

  1. 7
    Industry

    The play in A Short Hike is a real skill a child can learn without being harmed by it.

  2. 6
    Household

    A household can share A Short Hike. It is better on one couch than in a private headset.

  3. 5
    Piety

    No creed. A child is still treated as a person the game hopes will have fun.

  4. 4
    Courage

    The brave thing in A Short Hike is trying the jump again, at a child's size.

  5. 5
    Republic

    It can be a living room, which is a small public, if you keep it there.

  6. 7
    Temperance

    A Short Hike knows how to end a round, or it can be made to. Use that.

  7. 6
    Truth

    What it shows is what it is. No sermon, and no hidden cruelty in the rules.

  8. 6
    Stewardship

    A child can carry a little joy out of A Short Hike and still have a day left.

Live historically

Play one session with the child, in the room, and stop when the clock you set is done.
