Melbits World is a cooperative puzzle platformer by Melbot and released for the PS4 as a PlayLink title back in February 2019. Thanks to the developers, I was lucky enough to test Melbits World Pocket the mobile version of the game. This was without the multiplayer feature and not to be confused with the mobile companion app for the PS4 game. I really enjoyed customizing my adorable virtual pixies with accessories and leading them to the end of several challenging levels.
Therefore, when Melbot recently announced that Melbits World is out now on PC (as of December 16th, 2019) and coming to the Nintendo Switch on December 19th, 2019, I got really excited to delve back into this charming world. A world all about “spreading the good vibes across the Internet.” Now due to the collaboration with publisher Plug in Digital, you can get the Melbits World on Steam (controller support only) for a 34% discount until December 23rd, 2019, and the Nintendo Switch version for only $12.59!
In Melbits World there are 4 worlds, each one with 9 levels where you can dodge evil viruses, collect seeds, rotate platforms, and utilize springs. It’s a family-friendly game you can play with up to 4 players and collaborate and communicate with each other!

Yesterday during Gamescom 2019 Opening Night Live, one of the announcements by Sony surprised us. The live-action interactive adventure Erica, which was in development by Flavourworks for a few years, is out now! You get to play this thrilling murder mystery exclusively on PS4 for only $9.99 US. Take control of the narrative during this feature-length film/video game by making your own choices when prompted. You can even download the companion app for your mobile device to use as your controller (iOS, Android). However, do take note that this game is rated M for language, gore, etc. We here at myPotatoGames wanted to highlight this game for its easy difficulty and beautifully haunting score by acclaimed composer Austin Wintory (Pode).
Become Erica, a brave young lady plagued with nightmares of your father’s murder. With the traumatic events that have haunted you as a child dragged back into the light of the present day via grisly new clues, it’s up to you to unearth the shocking truth behind this devastating tragedy. Every choice you make influences how the game develops, with multiple endings awaiting you at the finale of the emotional branching narrative.
