Lil Guardsman - If Monty Python & Terry Pratchett came up with Papers Please
This game managed to do the impossible, it got me to stop playing Final Freaking Fantasy 7 for a while (you can even verify this narrative simply by checking my recent uploads)
Lil Guardsman is a hilarious game about a 12-year-old having to fall in for her dad as guardsman at the gate of a medieval yet tech-savvy setting. You'll allow or deny passage to the strangest characters you can think of and it all feels so open-ended and dares to take bold new routes.
I mean, I just had a woman dressed as Belle show up, trying to Disney sing-a-long charm me into letting her pass, only for me to discover she's secretly the Beast inside and definitely would have killed some people in a dark alley. (at least they'd have gone down in a song?)
Anyway, watch the intro level here, be on the lookout for my full review on LifeIsXbox soon and give this one a chance. You shan't regret it!!
