Raji: An Ancient Epic
Action-adventure game Raji: An Ancient Epic “plays like an epic poem,” Ash Parrish wrote in a 2020 review for Kotaku. “Shadow puppet cutscenes help tell the story of main character Raji, and there are murals all over the world displaying stories from Hindu mythology.” Your main goal is to rescue your kidnapped brother as gods lend you their strength through shocking sparks of lightning, ice, or flame. The game is a resplendent ode to the force of core-rooted belief and family, and even combat is punctuated by the hollow pang of tabla drums—you’re completely surrounded by Indian culture.
