Botany Manor by Balloon Studios

The only game from this batch I’m planning to check out is Botany Manor. It’s a first-person puzzler built around a mysterious mansion (and even more mysterious plants). You could say it has the most fitting title ever. This will be my warm up for when Blue Prince releases on the tenth. 

I adore the look and creativity of Harold Halibut, but I don’t think I’m going to be able to free up the 52GB necessary to install it in the next 12 days (the PC version ONLY requires 51). 

The Nintendo Direct yesterday most likely marks the end of the spring event schedule. If you missed it, I’d recommend checking it out (or reading the 12 pages of analysis I wrote about it in the features tab–it should be right under this article). It’s currently the cheapest way to experience the Switch 2. 

Enjoy the rest of your week and remember, having a backlog is a privilege.
