Saros vs Returnal

Saros and Returnal are very similar games, yet there are also a lot of important differences.

The Enigmatic Spirit of Cocoon

Cocoon, which first released a couple years ago, is a funny little puzzle game. Though, I suppose “little” is a poor choice of words, because, to some degree, it’s quite like Dr. Who’s TARDIS, in that it’s “bigger on the inside.” Cocoon’s world-within-worlds concept is as fascinating as it is confounding.
