Among Humanity’s many assets, the Goldy might just be its secret weapon. These statuesque figures resemble sentient Academy Awards and function like Super Mario stars: you needn’t necessarily go out of your way to collect them all, but unlocking each chapter’s ultimate challenge requires you to have gathered a certain number. And in Tha’s spellbinding puzzler they quickly become an obsession, transforming the way you play. Ostensibly cast as a benevolent god, you’re tasked with guiding crowds of mindless humans to a light marking the exit from a stage, taking control of a luminous shiba inu that drops commands in their path, each turn and jump order issued with a bark. But bringing these gilded automata with you often demands you lead the humans into harm’s way.
