Another “Blind” protagonist, and this game takes that concept to the extreme. In fact, A Blind Legend isn’t actually a video game but an immersive audio experience, thanks to its binaural 3D sound. You play Edward Blake, who, accompanied by his daughter, Louise, journeys through the High Castle Kingdom navigating its perils and confronting his enemies.
