Mar 23, 2020This is a punishing set of games that plops you into a temple and expects you to get out using your own puzzle-solving prowess. If you're looking for a game on your Switch that takes the idea of Indiana Jones but substitutes the action for obtuse brain-teasers, then look no further. La Mulana 1 & 2 offer up a challenging puzzle experience and figuring your way through these ruins will make you feel smarter than a whip-lashing Harrison Ford.

Mar 10, 2020La Mulana is a smashing success in what it attempts to do. It’s a diabolical and lavishly-layered set of ancient ruins that will test your video game skills physically and mentally. I respect the hell out of this commitment to brusque, difficult game design. At the same time, I’m exhausted after playing so much La Mulana. It’s overall a breathtaking game, but it’s clearly not something for everyone and as I found out, it’s not for the 2020 version of me. Now, introduce time travel and 2012 me is probably super into this game. But I can only confidently recommend those who want the sternest of retro-fueled gameplay challenges tackle this behemoth.
