<\/figure>\n\n\n\nEven if you\u2019re not aware of Annapurna as a name, you will most likely have come across their work. As Annapurna Pictures they have produced films like Zero Dark Thirty, Her, American Hustle, Sausage Party, Terminator: Genisys, and The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. They\u2019ve helped create films, TV, even theatre productions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But we\u2019re here to talk about games. In 2016 Annapurna set up Annapurna Interactive, their gaming division, under the leadership of veterans from Sony and Warner Bros. Their mission was to publish games that are \u201cpersonal, emotional, and original\u201d and as you\u2019ll see – they absolutely delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since then they have published over 30 games, with many receiving plaudits from critics and audiences alike. Let\u2019s take a look at some of their games and why you should be grabbing them immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nProbably the most famous game published by Annapurna, Journey<\/a> is an adventure across a desert landscape that will crack even the most jaded heart. On your way to a distant mountain you\u2019ll see beautiful vistas, escape terrifying monsters, make friends that will aid you on your travels, and have the adventure of a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\nJourney received almost every award under the sun and after playing it once, you\u2019ll see just why. Combine all of the above with a Grammy-nominated score and some of the most uplifting – and heartbreaking – moments in gaming, you\u2019ll never ever forget your time on the sands of Journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Florence<\/a> it\u2019s only the beginning, as you navigate her experiences through this short, beautiful narrative experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOften in games the narrative and the gameplay work separately, but in Florence they fit together perfectly like jigsaw pieces. You\u2019ll see Florence and Krish\u2019s journey together flourish, falter, and even possibly fall apart in a deeply meaningful and incredibly impactful game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSam Barlow brought us Her Story, a unique experience where we pieced together a mystery by viewing video clips from a police interview. There was no grand conclusion from the game itself, you simply stopped playing when you felt like you had cracked what was going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Telling Lies<\/a>, Sam Barlow takes the idea a step further. You\u2019re in front of a laptop, filled with footage stolen from an NSA database. That footage covers two years in the lives of a group of people, all brought together through a particular event. Search for footage, watch clips, and put together the truth, Telling Lies is like almost nothing out there, and it\u2019s filled with surprises – sometimes shocking surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBuy Telling Lies here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nGorogoa<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"a](\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/99AO0UUyzP5-1iVV33BKrCIYTsm0OZoxpn9qpbO1VW0zS1THD645eMlxBsDF3qZTdOFOtYFyMSJ3zl3EwFdj8v6OysKMNmclBWk0mgDy8Fa3XxaFtSyWMR1OCqDW6EmPyLIfLTmb\")
