In an ink-dark cave, a lantern-carrying adventurer rides on your back as you knock down begemmed barriers and avoid light-eating bats. Pikmin 4: release date, trailers, news, gameplay, and moreīest video game deals for May 2023: PlayStation, Xbox, Switch Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 gets wild gameplay trailer, but no release date You rescue the snakes because that’s the natural result of your messing around. But just like in those first five minutes, Hohokum emphasizes the tactile joy of playing in its whimsical worlds over set goals or clear storytelling.
From here, the other snakes - we’ll go with calling them “snakes” - scatter, and you spend the rest of the game trying to win them back. There’s no clear goal in Hohokum’s initial section of play, referred to after the fact as “Home.” It’s a hub world you can return to instantly and at any time from the pause menu. You reach a nexus, where all these creatures are in sync, making beautiful shapes like a kaleidoscope that you control. Joined by a rainbow of brothers and sisters, you revel in discovering how each bulb and ball and bump reacts to your collisions. You glide effortlessly, now slow, now fast, sliding along the walls, wiggling gleefully as you pick up speed.
You’re in the womb, or the ocean, or space, or a microscopic cell. You begin life as a snake, or a sperm, or however you want to look at it, flying around, or swimming, or what have you. Players will know within the first five minutes whether Honeyslug and Sony Santa Monica’s Hohokum is for them.
