HoPiKo sees you jumping around to save the inhabients of a video game console. Is it worth saving these tiny games, or should you shut it down?

Carlos writes: "From lifelike racing to war-time shooting, RPG epics set across gargantuan expanses, and platformers and puzzlers that are perfect for an afternoon of delight. As gamers, we have something for every occasion.
Often those games arrive and hold our hands all the way through, so we can enjoy the experience fully. However other times a game looks to move away from that handholding to remind us that the world can be an unforgiving place. HoPiko is one such game; one that likes to remind us of the harsh realities of life."
