Now that E3’s over and done with, it’s time for!!! Wafflies’ list of “The Actually Good Parts of E3”
(Specifically, cool shit which isn’t immediately obvious. Obviously I want to play Elden Ring/BotW2/etc, but those don’t need a reminder.)
____________________________
#1 - Soulstice – Flashy, fast paced action game featuring a lady with a big sword and ghost magic. Hell yeah??
____________________________
#2 – Death’s Door – normally I do not care for top-down/isometric games like this, but I liked it having a cool bird as the protag. More games should have birds.

#3 - Unbeatable - I was initially interested in this from the aesthetic alone, but then they were like "hey there's a demo RIGHT NOW" and I *played* that demo and it fucking kicked ass.
____________________________
#4 - Tales of Arise - I've never played a Tales game! But I'm a sucker for games with anime artstyle. That, and the combat looked fun and some of the characters looked kinda hot, so.

#5 - Elec Head - probably the one with the smallest presence on this list. Doesn't even have a trailer all to itself! It's still kinda cute though, and it appealled to me.

#6 - Walk - From the same video as Elec Head. It looks scary!! I don't play horror games because i'm easily frightened but part of me wants to play this.

#7 - Vokabulantis - Mostly from visual appeal alone. Also I liked the funny german robot character.

#8 - Garden Story - Remniscient of stardew, but you're a grape! What's not to like?

#9 - Solar Ash - Makes me think of Shadow of the Colossus? Not much was shown, but it seemed neat.

#10 - Gloomwood - It's thief! It's literally thief. Someone made thief in 2021, but with guns. Good job.

#11 - Tinykin - This is very transparently just Pikmin, but with 2D sprites. But frankly, I'm fine with that! Especially because it looks like it's using the gameplay of pikmin to go into more puzzle-y stuff, which is preferrable to pikmin 3's core gameplay of "making lemonade"
