One of our favourite games of last year Umurangi Generation by Origame Digital has just made it's Nintendo Switch debut, and has picked up the top prize at the 2021 Freeplay Festival. 

Document a New Zealand city in decline facing the dual pressures of disaster and the last impacts of colonialism in a stylish and unique first person shooter. 

Listen to our interview with developer Tali Faulkner in podcast episode 154 for a fascinating and insightful look into how this game was made.

Some good ninja stuff, good samurai stuff, it took them a long time to get here but boy I'm glad they did.

Pros:
  • Naoe feels like the old assassins from previous games
  • Yasuke definitely doesn't, which is very welcome change
  • Absolutely stunning world that feels busy and lived in
Cons:
  • Maybe the world actually might be too big?
  • It's an evolution not a revolution, if you've bounced off Assassin's Creed in the past this doesn't break the mold.
