The Plucky Squire (PS5)

I was skeptical about a storybook world jumping into 3D, but that shift between the pages and the outside world is honestly the most charming thing I've played in ages. The writing for Jot and his crew is genuinely funny, and the puzzles that use both perspectives keep you on your toes.

The way the action seamlessly shifts between 2D storybook pages and full 3D exploration caught me off guard in the best way. Jot's little animations are full of personality, and the visual style is incredibly charming.

I was genuinely surprised by how smoothly the game transitions between 2D book pages and full 3D environments—it feels like playing inside a pop-up book. The art style is charming and the puzzles keep you engaged without being frustrating. Perfect for a cozy evening on the PS5.
