Best game of the week
El Hijo – A Wild West Tale
HandyGames appears to be shaping itself into a competent port house, what with its current catalog of quality ports on the platform. Its latest release is El Hijo – A Wild West Tale, a stealth-based adventure game that takes place in a gorgeously-animated Spaghetti Western world, themed after Sergio Leone’s famous westerns. The stealth gameplay is solid, the music is great, and the graphics are totally on point with the theme.
