I dare you to tell me this doesn’t look fantastic. The artwork is just as stunning as The Alto Collection, and the colour schemes you can see in the trailer just gorgeous.

I’m not saying Land & Sea have managed to somehow put together what sounds like the perfect game for me, but as I’ve got older the urge to disappear into the woods somewhere and live out the rest of my days as a nature-loving hermit has only grown stronger. Combine that with my penchant for farm life TV programmes, and you’re onto a winner.

Summerhill is in development, with a release date yet to be announced. If you’re interested in playing Summerhill, here’s itsSteampage.
