Kandria is relaxing, challenging, and faintly sad all at once. Somehow.
What makes a good platformer? Christ, I don’t know. Why would you open an article with that. Calling Kandria a platformer feels a little reductive, so there’s a need to clarify why it works. You play as an android revived several decades after an apocalypse, by a tiny camp of survivors who inevitably need your help. A lot of this help involves, well, platforming. To the point of having nonsensical areas of pure platforming in between you and a destination or secret area. You’ll climb, jump, do the little dash thing that recharges when you touch the ground or pick up a hovering lamp thingy. You’ll land on a lot of thorny instakill spikes.
So yeh, lots of the old platforming, but it feels more like an exploration and scavenging game, with a side order of light-light-heavy-dodge combat too. And a plot with varied dialogue options and mysteries about the world and its history. It’s immediately and consistently fun, but I’m not sure exactly how to recommend it. Hmm.

1996’s Twister Is Getting A Sequel, Somehow
Just like storm chases jumping into their truck to go after a weather event, Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment are in the process of fast-tracking Twisters, a sequel to the 1996 disaster film that starred Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton, Deadline reports.
Twisters is in early development, but producers are hoping to see filming begin as early as this spring. The script comes via The Revenant writer Mark L. Smith; Steven Spielberg reportedly pushed to get the film moving after reading the script. The studio hasn’t yet selected a director for the film. Top Gun: Maverick’s Joseph Kosinski was going to direct, but is working on an Apple-produced racing film starring Brad Pitt instead.
Other directors reportedly under consideration include Prey director Dan Trachtenberg, Kubo and the Two Strings director Travis Knight, and Free Solo co-directors Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai.
