    Anodyne 2: Return to Dust is a fantastic indie that captures 2 bygone eras beautifully so if you like trippy games, you need to play it.

    From the 3D to 2D perspective shifts, the surreal visuals and infectious soundtrack, Anodyne 2: Return to Dust is mind-bending in a multitude of ways. This is a game that is full of character, thoughtful storytelling and presentation flair that should be tried by most, even if the experience is not for everyone.

    This is clearly a deeply personal labour of love, created by a pair of developers who have nothing but fondness for that SNES-to-PS1 era. And to their collective credit, they’ve made a game that captures that feeling and that era perfectly. If you’re in the mood for that — or just for seeing a game that’s really not like anything else out there at the moment, then be sure to check it out.
