    There really isn't a whole lot to say about this game. The dynamic of predator and prey having to cooperate together for survival sets it up to be a nicely balanced cooperative game. With how adorable the two seem to be together in the trailer, I worry that their eventual reunion with their families will pull them apart since they are predator and prey.

    I'm willing to bet if you're an established reader of my blog that you'd never have expected me to showcase a game that is entirely in black and white. That is actually part of the game's charm. It paints the landscape in a starkness that comes after a big snow, making it seem more desolate than it is. My only complaint about the visuals is how disproportionate the wolf cub's head is -- but I can forgive it.

    So if you're looking for your next cooperative game that isn't plagued by text and reading (who bothers to read anymore?), then you might check this game out. It isn't a coincidence that it releases on Valentine's Day, so go get cozy with your special someone!
