Happy New Year and Stadia as always comes at us in unexpected ways. This time Stadia has added an extra pro game in El Hijo – A Wild West Tale. You can’t argue with getting another Pro title so this is most welcome news! You can claim the game here.
“El Hijo – A Wild West Tale” is a non-violent stealth game, replacing violence with the mischievous, playfulness of a young child. One core element of the gameplay is “El Hijo” using the shadows to his advantage to hide from outlaws. The gameplay is extended naturally, as variations of existing mechanics are gradually introduced and then combined to increase the challenge. These twists on familiar mechanics are often a product of the varied environments that the boy must traverse to reach his ultimate goal: Freedom.
Is a playthrough review of the shortest kind too much to ask? Tried it and after the tutorial level all keys got demapped making it unplayable; a little shortcoming of some autopatcher or a major team deficiency at Stadia?
