Joey recommends Hohokum, a beautiful, serene indie game for Sony’s Playstation consoles. The experience of Hohokum is more like listening to an album or meditating than it is like playing a traditional video game; there are no loss conditions, scores, or time limits. You play as a colorful snake-y creature navigating surreal environments, interacting with delightfully drawn characters and objects: kites, plants, streetlights, abstract shapes. The electronic soundtrack from the record label Ghostly International helps you bliss out, continuously changing and undulating in response to things you do during gameplay. Check out the trailer to see what he’s banging on about.
