The cute and exciting stealth game El Hijo is coming to to Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
myPotatoGames has always been a sanctuary for adorable and non-violent games. A place where only cute games get talked about, and all that violence and other craziness is left out. Well, sometimes there’s a game that comes along that is actually surprising in its level of wholesomeness. El Hijo is possibly the only non-violent game ever made in the Spaghetti Western genre. Not only that, it is about a young, rambunctious boy on a quest to find his mother!
What is El Hijo?
El Hijo puts you in the role of “El Hijo”, an adventurous youngster on journey to reunite with his materfamilias. You will need to solve puzzles and use the shadows to your advantage to advance through the game. This is one unique title that trades violence for general mischief. Instead of hurting or dispatching of a guard, you simply distract so that you may make safe passage through the area.
This game is currently available on Steam, where it has received mostly positive reviews. Players compare the stealth aspect to games like Hitman, and the controls and graphics theme to games like Raji. The game is currently on sale for $15.99 on Steam, but originally costs $19.99. El Hijo will release on console on March 25h, 2021.

Gamescom is the world’s largest event for tech and video games held in Cologne, Germany. Unlike E3, there typically aren’t that many press announcements with release dates but rather you’re given the opportunity to play game demos and possibly get the chance to speak with the developers. This year, Gamescom opens its doors to trade visitors on Tuesday, August 20, 2019, and to members of the public on Wednesday, August 21, 2019. Events and the show floor will be scheduled until Saturday, August 24th, 2019.
Opening Night Live
Anyone who is anyone in the industry has confirmed that they will be there including: Xbox, Nintendo, Square Enix, Google Stadia, Epic Games and many more. Geoff Keighley, host and producer of ‘The Game Awards’, will be producing and live streaming Opening Night Live. Check out his Twitter account below for the game publishers that are making announcements. Opening Night Live will also include Hideo Kojima, as confirmed by the man himself, to premiere an exclusive new look of his game Death Stranding. Opening Night Live will be streaming on all major streaming services when it begins on Monday, August 19th at 11 AM PT/2 PM PT/8 PM CEST. With this new addition of a pre-show, we here at myPotatoGames are looking forward to some amazing new reveals!
The Indie Village and Indie Arena Booth
Another new addition to Gamescom 2019 is that developers of indie games will now have considerably more space in the entertainment area. Indie Village (in hall 10.2) will be showcasing more than 140 independent developers. The central element of Indie Village is the Indie Arena Booth, which has been taking applications from indie developers for a few years now and supplying them with booths. More than 100 games can be seen in the Indie Arena Booth alone. In addition, you can look forward to a stage program coordinated especially for indie fans, the MIX.
As you know, we here at myPotatoGames are huge fans of wholesome indie games so we’ve written a list below, including their links to our previous articles for more information. You can also watch the trailer by Indie Arena Booth for the confirmed indie games for Gamescom 2019.
