Originally released in 2007, 5th Cell’s Drawn to Life was one of my favorite Nintendo DS games. It took advantage of the system’s dual screens to let people create their own platforming heroes with the help of the stylus and their imagination. It spawned a few sequels, including a licensed Spongebob Squarepants collaboration, but the franchise eventually went dormant after the first iteration of THQ filed for bankrupcy.

That said, it accomplishes what it sets out to really well. This is a great game for players who might be lapsed, more casual gamers, or kids. Don’t let that scare you away, though.

Two Realms is, basically, a puzzle platformer. The premise and structure is simple: you’ll wander around a little hub world, before running into someone that has a problem. You solve that problem by being transported to a series of short puzzle-platformer levels, at which point you’ll be moving on to the next person and their problems. The art is ridiculously cute and charming, but there’s no meaningful narrative to back that up, and because your character is mute and doesn’t interact with the world much, it’s difficult to become too invested in it.
