In Between (Video Game Review)

Gentlymad and Headup Games have released In Between for Xbox One.

In Between is an award-winning platformer with exquisite puzzles to solve alongside an amazing story. In Between puts you into the mind of our protagonist who has just learned he has cancer. As he tries to come to grips with his own morality, you take an incredible journey through his past, in a world outside the laws of physics.

In Between has 60 challenging levels to venture through with each one challenging your patience and wits. Every stage has a certain theme following the various stages of grief, the player is tasked with completing the complex puzzles while trying to come to grips with his inevitable fate.

In every stage, you are tasked with completing a certain number of levels in order to progress. This means you are able to view all of the various levels in each new stage and skip some of those that may be too difficult for you to master. The fact that In Between has included this option in gameplay creates more replayability since you can still progress even if there is just one level that you can't get past.

When playing a puzzle platformer, gamers can often get stuck and with no real story to keep them going, they simply just get so frustrated that they end up quitting. This is where In Between is different than any other puzzle platformer out there--the story and the hand painted world make you care about the character and what happens to him. No matter how frustrating the game can get, you keep on trying, because you ultimately want to know how the story ends.

The music and voice acting is superb and this alone creates an immersive world that you can't help but become emotionally attached to. Within minutes of playing In Between, I was intensely drawn to the protagonist’s touching story, because it was so relatable.

In Between features a very unique control scheme that has your character defying the laws of gravity and progressing throughout the levels in an incredibly fun manner. Everything featured throughout the game has a deeper meaning, In Between can ultimately have some psychological impact on those playing it, which is really uncommon for most games today.

Overall, In Between is a fun puzzle platformer that can leave a long-lasting impression on anyone that decides to venture within its immersive world. In Between offers a unique gameplay experience with its beautifully designed visuals, fantastic soundtrack and creative control scheme. Experience a puzzle platformer like never before with In Between on Xbox One. To learn more, visit the official In Between website.

Blood, Salt, and Unconditional Love: Why Sam and Dean Winchester Transcended Television

When Supernatural debuted on television screens back in 2005, it posed as a gritty, urban-legend-of-the-week horror show. Two brothers in a black 1967 Chevy Impala riding down dark American backroads, hunting ghosts, wendigos, and demons. But as the seasons turned into a fifteen-year legacy, viewers realized the monsters were never the main plot. The true heartbeat of the show was an intense, unwavering bond between two brothers willing to tear down heaven and earth for each other. "There is no me without you. I'm telling you, raised by a hunter, lived like one my whole life... I wouldn't trade it for anything. But if it means losing you? I can't do it." — Dean Winchester More Than Fighting Evil: The Connection We Long For In a world built on fleeting relationships, social media connections, and conditional dynamics, Sam and Dean offered something modern humanity rarely glimpses: absolute, radical devotion .
