"Add a bit of stabbing, and it could almost be a Ubisoft game"

Watching someone else play INFINITY NIKKI reveals gaming's complexities

- By IAN EVENDEN

Watching other people play games is perhaps not as much fun as doing it yourself, but it does have its advantages. I’ve been assisting my daughter as she plays Infinity Nikki, the free-to-play adventure game from Papergames, and being the copilot gives the experience a completely different flavour.

Infinity Nikki is not, I admit, the sort of game I’d choose for myself, but in its bright colours, cute creatures and delight in dressing up it reveals an enthusiasm for gaming – I honestly love the way Nikki changes costumes with a pop in the middle of a jump just so she can glide for a bit.
