As the game is set in a World War II Europe, the plot is incredibly harrowing and fast-paced. The main character is Gerda, a Danish citizen who must make increasingly complex and impactful decisions that lead her to travel all around the countryside avoiding the enemy. "The story of GAFIW is inspired by the real life of Hans Von Knut's grandmother (Hans is PortaPlay's Game Director), who took part in the Danish Resistance during WW2. She shared her experiences and reflections with him, and those became the base for the conversation inside the studio that bloomed into GAFIW. We weren't looking intentionally into WW2, but rather we felt that keeping the setting true to the actual history and location can bring a sense of specificity and authenticity."

While the era of data science is here and it is believed that the more knowledge and experience one has with data and the earlier they learn it in their career, the better prepared they will be to get into such a complex field. And what can be earlier than learning data science during your childhood? Data science is indeed a complicated subject to get a hold of, which is usually struggled by many professionals but video games and online games proved to be'chocolate-covered broccoli' -- an essential aspect in teaching kids a thing or two about data science. Studies have suggested that games can be one of the engaging ways to develop critical thinking, cognitive behaviour and motivational impact among kids. Not only can it teach AI/ML concepts and programming, but can also teach knowledge on mathematics, statistics and probability to kids.

Emoji are many things to many people. Depending who you ask, they're fun, flirty, confusing, a whole new language, or the demise of language itself. Google's Emoji Scavenger Hunt adds one more to the many meanings of emoji: a way to play with machine learning. The technology involved in this browser-based game is complex, but the idea is simple. An emoji appears, and using your phone's camera you hunt around for examples of it IRL. Maybe you'll see an emoji of a clock, or a shoe, then it's your task to find one before the timer runs out.

Last year's Grow Home was something of a sleeper hit, coming out of nowhere from Ubisoft and offering a loving homage to the old school 3D platformers of the N64 and Playstation era. The publishers of the Assassin's Creed series are no strangers to sequels, so a year on its time for Grow Up, which takes the concept of the original game and looks to expand it with a bigger world, more challenges, and plenty of collectables. While the first game was about helping your robot, B.U.D., traverse the world vertically to get back to his orbiting spaceship, Grow Up sees the same ship scattered across an entire planet, meaning that you'll need to head in every direction to piece it back together. On paper, the sequel is a larger game, but in reality there are so many new tools and pick ups available from the off, getting from place to place is a breeze this time around. Plants can be scanned and added to your inventory, after which you can grow them at will.
