Among the indie games Sony showcased during its E3 press conference this week,

Eitr also impressed me with both its graphics and sound. This is a visually striking game, with a very dark, gorgeous pixel-art aesthetic that feels perfectly suited to this sort of experience. Combat moves are also wonderfully animated in a way that really stands out by being paired with the retro visuals.

In terms of music, there typically isn't a lot--it's very subtle most of the time, offering a creepy ambiance as you make your way through an area. When facing a boss, it really kicks in; the one I faced was accompanied by some intense music that inadvertently caused me to become too aggressive.

I walked away from my brief time with Eitr impressed. I do hope that the full game offers enough opportunities for exploration so that it doesn't feel like you're traveling down a linear path. Even without that, there are enough elements at work here--including those I didn't get to see in-depth, like a skill tree and gems with different effects that can be equipped--that make Eitr look promising.

This is a huge week for gaming as we're in the middle of E3. Retailers are already updating their sites with preorders for E3 games. Don't expect deals in there, but Amazon promise they will ensure you get the best price when the game actually ships to you. Some preorders give you early access to exclusive content, but for E3 game it's too early to tell. But, if like us, you can't wait for games like No Man's Sky, FFVII Remake, Horizon Zero Dawn, Or The Last Guardian, then you might want to take the plunge and secure your order. Final Fantasy X/X2 Remaster for PS4 is $34.99 (30% off), Destiny is still $19.99 (50% off), and there's a bunch of discounts at Amazon on the Assassin's Creed Franchise on all platforms. Sony's PSN have an ongoing offer, get $15 back in credit for $100 of spending, and a Best of E3 sale, with up to 60% on games such as Diablo 3 or Destiny. gog.com and steam's summer sales are still going on.
