Manhunter 2: San Francisco is a point and click adventure game developed by Evryware Inc and published by Sierra in 1989. The Manhunter games are two Sierra adventures that have yet to appear on digital storefronts (unlike other Sierra adventures) likely because IIRC the publishing rights were returned to Dave, Barry and Dee-Dee Murray, the three main designers behind Evryware when Sierra was absorbed by Vivendi.
Sitting in an interesting niche between the early AGI (text parser) and the later SCI (point 'n' click) Sierra adventures, Manhunter 2 and it's prequel use an odd hybrid of both formats, utilising the point 'n' click system primarily for navigation while the text parser is used for interaction.
With an interesting plot involving assuming the identity of the title's namesake - a manhunter, working for the alien orb species that now controls Earth, you track people of interest to the Orb Alliance, hunting dissidents and a ruthless serial killer.
I bought this game in a re-release box, drawn in by the Sierra adventure brand after my experience playing Space Quest 1 VGA (still not on GOG),Space Quest 2 and King's Quest 3. As a Sierra game it was full of copious deaths, the occasional arcade sequence and typical inventory puzzles. Where it diverges from other Sierra games is the use of the MAD device (a laptop) to track people of interest though embedded tracking devices as they move between locations or inputting names of suspects to unlock new clues/areas to be explored giving a genuine feeling of an investigation.
Without a walkthrough I would relish every discovery that unlocked new areas/items and curse every death that often followed. The Sierra DNA of a couple of agonizingly obscure puzzles is still present and I never finished it until years later when a walkthrough was finally available. That being said it is an interesting and unique part of Sierra's adventure games legacy, and for that it should be recovered and preserved for a new audience.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker SagaLego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a third-person action-adventure with an open world hub. Unlike previous Lego games in which players had to advance through the story in a linear order, players can now choose to start the game from any of the main Skywalker Saga episodes and complete them in any order they wish. Each episode has their own hub filled with planets featured prominently in each respective film that can be visited and explored. Each episode will have five story missions each, a total of 45 levels.
Combat has also been revamped, such as lightsaber fights now involving a variety of combos with light attacks, heavy attacks, and Force moves, and blaster characters having an over-the-shoulder camera angle featured in many third-person shooter games.
Random encounters will also happen in the game's hub. For example, an Imperial Star Destroyer will suddenly jump out of hyperspace and send a fleet of TIE Fighters after the player. Players can choose to engage in dogfights with them or continue onward to progress the story. The game will have more than 200 playable characters, though TT Games has said that number will change.Action Comedy Science fiction
