Lou\u2019s Lagoon\u00a0is a self-professed cosy open-world adventure game coming from indie studio Rokaplay. It\u2019s a cutesy third-person affair that sees you take over your uncle\u2019s business after he goes missing. Looking similar to titles like My Time at Portia and with what looks to be a Stardew Valley-style gameplay loop, it looks to pair the life game genre with open-world adventure. Oh, did I mention there was a plane? Because it\u2019s also a plane game.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re anything like me, you grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons wishing you could be a part of whatever hijinx that happened to be occurring that week. A particular favourite of mine was TaleSpin, a rather strange spinoff of The Jungle Book, it saw Baloo and pals running a seaplane delivery service, and, whilst it didn\u2019t make much sense canonically, it was\u00a0rad<\/em>.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be tasked with the regular chores that come with a life-sim; collect stuff, fish, harvest, and craft goods, only this time instead of trudging to the local market to sell your wares, you can hop in your seaplane and make connections over the many islands that the world map contains.<\/p>\n

Lou\u2019s Lagoon has taken more than a passing look at TaleSpin and built a game that, from the early footage we have, looks like something that 10-year-old me would have absolutely adored. Let\u2019s also be totally honest here, it looks like something old-me is also going to enjoy. I know what I am and I\u2019m okay with it. If anyone knows of any Darkwing Duck mods for Arkham, hit me up.<\/p>\n
