PUPPETEER
Sony’s now-defunct first-party Japan Studio was sadly no stranger to releasing acclaimed titles that would fail to meet commercial expectations, in spite of going on to become fan-favourites. Puppeteer is a classic example of that. The charming platformer launched in 2013 for PS3, and many instantly took to its setting, visuals, animations, mechancics, and more.
