One of the reasons Elden Ring hit so hard was because its sprawling open world and plentiful dungeons felt a bit like the Zelda game PC has never had. Yet FromSoftware's dark, twisted world is a very different beast from the sprawling emerald plains of Hyrule, so I've been eagerly awaiting the upcoming indie RPG Dungeons of Hinterberg as a more whimsical, colorful, and laid-back adventure. Having now spent 15 in-game days in Microbird Games' virtual alpine wonderland, I'm pleased to report that it's already exceeding those expectations, and might well rank among the best PC games of this year when the dust settles.
