World to the West
World to the West is an action adventure game developed by Rain Games. It builds upon the universe of indie hit Teslagrad, which has been played by over 1.6 million people so far. World to the West is a pulpy, cartoony top down action adventure inspired by European adventure comics. Take control of four unique characters —Lumina the Teslamancer, Knaus the orphan, Miss Teri the mind bender and the gloriously mustachioed strongman, Lord Clonington—, each with their their own motivations, skills and interweaving storylines, as they seek to escape the dark shadow of an ancient prophecy. Travel trough corrupt colonies, lush jungles and frozen tundras, as you snoop through the secrets of a forgotten civilization. Be careful though. Nothing is ever what it seems. Will you join us in this journey to the West?

Just delightful, such good characters and atmosphere and it is fun changing things up by switching characters when progressing.

Incredibly good metroidvania game. You have 4 characters and each has a different move set. Like in Astalon Tears of the Earth you have to get to checkpoints to switch characters, except here each character has to get to a checkpoint themselves. Which makes the level design much more interesting and unlocking shortcuts much more rewarding.
10/10 game. Would mind control squirrles again.

Had this game on my favorites list for about 4-5 years and I never got round to play it. I was looking for something casual I could play while watching TV with the family.. Figured I'd give this a shot finally and wow.. I love everything about it. The story is great, the art style is beautiful and the music is charming.
You control 4 individual characters which all have very specific abilities. You can only switch between those characters at totems. You cannot fast travel between totems unless each character has visited that totem.. Which means if you push one character ahead for 30 mins, you're going to have to do it with 2, 3 and 4th characters too.. But each one has to find their own unique way to navigating the map and puzzles.
I had forgotten how fun these little puzzle RPG style games are. From reading reviews on media sites, a lot of journalists thing the back and forth gameplay is fustrating where as I actually enjoyed the challenge or remembering where everything was and which direction is which.
If you like light hearted puzzle RPGs then this is the one for you.
