Genuinely one of the greatest gaming experiences I've experienced. Most people respond to the question "What's your favorite game?" with the boilerplate answers. They love Mario, they love The Witcher 3, they love Fortnite: Battle Royale. But tell me, do any of these games let you become a bee and traverse this beautiful flowery field? The answer is no (and Mario Galaxy's Bee costume DOES NOT COUNT).

Sure, I've only played for a half hour, but these minutes hold my dearest moments. Every blade of grass is special to me. They all have their own story. Every flower catches my pollen-seeking eye with its colorful dance. The ambient music touches my soul in the most profound way. If I'm in the mood for a thrill, I perform a barrel roll to get my heart racing. Not to mention the work by the devs to create the first AUTHENTIC bee experience is something to behold.

I do warn you: should you spend too much time within the world of b in a sitting, I fear you might not return. Nothing in our daily lives compares to fluttering above a vibrant field, feeling pollen trapped in your fuzzy bod. Though you might feel its pull, and wish will all your being to become one with our buzzy friend, pull yourself away and seek out the bees of our world. Learn from them. Save them from extinction. Then and only then can you succumb to the tantalizing embrace of b.
