Our August games picks

Each month a slew of new games come to Play. To help you find ones you’ll love, we – the Play editors – are sharing our favorite recent releases. Our Spotlight title is a game that’s won our hearts with stunning visuals, intuitive gameplay, or pure simplistic fun – we know you’ll love our pick of the month.

Bounce between the real world and enchanting dreamscapes in this whimsical tale of two siblings finding their way back home. Its hand-drawn animation brings Toto and Gal’s imaginations to life, accentuating their adorable, expressive personalities and filling Lost in Play with childlike wonder.

Your curiosity is rewarded through point-and-click puzzles that require you to poke and prod your surroundings. Its clever, wordless hints system also provides just enough info to gently guide you without ruining the joy of solving it yourself. A new discovery full of humor, charm – and just a hint of spookiness – waits around every corner.

Whether they amused, soothed, scared or tested us, these Highlights are an ensemble of our favorite games this month.

For those with an appetite for the alternative, the Indie Highlights collection presents this month’s best new Indie games on Play.
