Lockdown: 5 games to pass the time on Blacknut

Lockdown with the family: Day 8. You haven't had a console since 1995, the work PC isn't very powerful, and your board games aren't up to date. The kids have finished their homework. If outside the world is uncertain, one thing is certain here: They want to play. So you’ll need to quickly find a way to liven up these long family days with gaming. Don’t panic—the Blacknut team has found 5 ways to beat boredom with video games.

Fort Boyard

This might be the world's most fun quarantine zone. You’re stuck, as a team, on the fully modeled board of the famous TV game show, and you’ll tackle the challenges, which come as mini-games, one by one: the Dino Rodeo, Car Wars, the Flyboard, Excalibur, or the Safari, among others, not forgetting Père Fouras’s riddles and the Masters of Time. Best of all, you don’t need to rack your brains to progress, since the game is very approachable for younger players and thus playable as a family. Fort Boyard offers several game modes: solo, team of 4, or 2-on-2! This adaptation of a very popular card game is definitely made for those who want to share the stress of healthcare workers during a health emergency. If that helps...

Asterix & Obelix XXL 3 - The Crystal Menhir

If you can’t take your non-existent dog out for a walk, you can still take Idéfix for a stroll through the Armorican forests. Best of all, you’ll probably cross plenty of Roman soldiers to make them pay for those hours of immobility. In Astérix & Obélix XXL 3, you play as the two Gauls across an exciting adventure that will take you all the way to Iceland, naturally passing through a few Roman camps. The game pays homage to the brawling and legendary humor of the late Uderzo and Goscinny, but it’s also packed with puzzles to solve solo or in co-op. Perfect for venting your nerves and flexing your brain!

Another World

Sometimes that’s the only solution. If you’re more the type to want to start from zero in a distant galaxy, Another World is for you. Good news: a universe that’s at least as exotic, with no virus story and no economy collapse. Bad news: you’ll momentarily rediscover the joys of captivity. But this time you can, and must, escape without risk of a police report. A cult classic, with a tense and immersive atmosphere, available on Blacknut in a remastered version that stays incredibly faithful to the original. For seasoned retro gamers, it’s also a chance to show younger players how to complete an adventure game worthy of the name with skill and finesse.
