Few upcoming games have stayed on my mind quite like The Plucky Squire. Following the journey of storybook characters, we take on the role of the young plucky squire, Jot, who's joined by his friends, Thrash and Violet. As well as venturing through the 2D pages of a book, we'll also get to hop into the 3D world that exists outside of it. With various puzzle scenarios set across both worlds, the jump from two to three-dimensional levels looks set to deliver creative challenges as we try to restore the book's happy ending, and put a stop to the tale's villain, Humgrump.
Since its initial reveal in the Devolver Digital showcase last year, my sense of anticipation has only grown as I've seen and heard more - And that's not only thanks to the promise of inventive, dimension-hopping action. With a delightful artstyle and character designs that literally and figuratively jump off the page, there are so many imaginative, playful little details that make The Plucky Squire sound like one downright charming journey; right down to the names of the characters that feed into the nature of the setting.
