The Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake is just over yon horizon, scheduled to dock this summer, nevermind the leaky hull that Ubisoft always springs when trying to keep a secret.

Little Tree Kingdom is about as instantly charming as games get. You want me to help a clan of cute little gnomes build a new town for themselves in a tree? Don’t mind if I do! And may I add: “Awwww!” As if to lull me further into a sense of security, it’s also a…
