System: Switch
Release date: October 15, 2024
Developer: Nomada Studio
Publisher: Devolver Digital
Nearly six years after its release, I still find myself occasionally thinking about my experience with Gris. The debut title of Nomada Studio, it was a visually stunning experience that explored deeply personal themes of loss and acceptance, and it left a lasting impact on me in a way few other games can claim. I was keen to try out Neva, the studio’s second title, which I found feels no less poignant for its exploration of our relationship with the world and one another, and is a more than worthy spiritual successor.
June 4: Today, RedDeerGames announced its latest Switch title, Cook For Love. The title is launching on the system later in 2024.
Cook For Love is a cozy cooking game full of recipes and step-by-step preparation instructions. There’s a story here too – you’ll play as Clement, a young Frenchman, who joins a popular Parisian restaurant and hopes to become worthy of working onboard the Orient Express.
