I play a lot of video games. After all, it's not just my job... It's also one of my favorite personal hobbies. I make a point of alternating game genres, franchises, and lengths to keep things interesting, so I'm never 100% certain what I'll be playing next. Over the last weekend, I impulsively took a short break from my latest attempt to finish The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to play a new game I had just added to my library.
Less than two hours later, my emotions reeling, I rolled the credits on When the Past was Around. It's a straightforward point-and-click puzzle-adventure game, but it clads itself in a stunning art style, a moving soundtrack, and a heartfelt story of losing our passion, finding love, suffering loss, and the arduous journey to reclaim ourselves. When the Past was Around is only $8.49 at the Microsoft Store for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC; if the above description piqued your interest, go buy and play this game.
