A few of the things that have us hooked this week.

Hello!
Catch up with the older editions of this column in ourWhat We’ve Been Playing archive.
This should be a series I enjoy.
And yet, I find it a real struggle to get invested in.
I had no drive to push forward.
I felt stuck in first gear, so I hit the brakes.
Oh, and where are all the cars?

Loco Motive, PC
I’d forgotten the charms of a good point-and-click adventure.
But Loco Motive has brought into sharp focus how powerful the charms of these games can be.
They’re so edgy now, so misunderstood.
But there’s never a moment when Loco Motive isn’t plucky.
In fact, it’s fairly routinely ridiculed.
And it’s infectious.
And do you know what?
I feel uplifted after playing the game, and there aren’t enough games I can say that about.
(There’s a demo still available for Loco Motive on Steam, by the way.)
