Playing Solo Provides A Different Experience The Operations Manual can either be self-explanatory for some people who love to tinker or a nightmare for those who can’t follow instructions without supervision. You could also try and decipher the Operations Manual and instruct your partner to carry out certain tasks like pulling levers, opening doors, plugging in electrical wires, and more. Or you just tease each other by getting sucked in by gravity. There could be cases where you have to pay attention to what’s around you while your partner takes care of putting together other parts of the ship. While every level tends to become more complex, our teamwork gets put to the test in this game. Just having fun figuring out how to float around in space is already entertaining and the first level was enough to get us hooked for a few hours and get excited about what’s next to come on the next levels. I gotta say, the first few minutes of the game got us laughing already at our frustrations with just getting over the tutorial.

In video games, we step into other bodies so we can better understand our own and those of the people around us.Here’s your chance to experience your Interstellar dreams! In travel, as Andrew Soloman says, we go somewhere else to see properly the place where we have come from. More specifically, to use body therapy language, games offer us a chance to discover the inviolability of our bodies, personal autonomy, self-ownership, and self-determination. Whether this is into the awkward teenage years of Mord and Ben in Wide Ocean Big Jacket, the grandparent-escaping Tiger and Bee in Kissy Kissy, the fractured heartbroken body in Gris or the haphazard movement of Octodad we have a chance to reassess our own physicality and how we respond to and treat other people's physicality. ![]() Stepping into the shoes of a vulnerable, small or endangered character can help us understand for a short while some of what it is like to be someone else.
