TA Playlist Wrap-Up — Cocoon We’ve featured many huge open-world games in recent months, but great games come in all sizes, so for April’s TA Playlist game, we went with a shorter Indie Game Pass gem, the award-winning puzzle game Cocoon. The TA Playlist Team Published 29 May 2024 Follow topics Cocoon Annapurna Interactive ID@Xbox Xbox Game Pass TA Playlist Community event Puzzle The TA Playlist Team Welcome back to another month of TA Playlist! After several months of big, open-world, epic games like Starfield , Rise of the Tomb Raider , and Cyberpunk 2077 , we decided we needed to back it off for a bit for the April 2024 TA Playlist. Great comes come in many different shapes and sizes, so we picked four shorter games that could be completed in an afternoon or a weekend, rather than taking up the whole month.
Beating out three other one-word nominees ( TOEM , INSIDE , and Firewatch ) was the indie puzzle sensation, Cocoon ! Cocoon is a top-down 3D puzzle adventure developed by a new studio called Geometric Interactive , formed by lead director Jeppe Carlsen following his departure from Playdead in 2016. The game was published by Annapurna Interactive in September of 2023. Many commenters in our forums were aware of Carlsen’s previous work at Playdead, including the highly-rated puzzle-platformers LIMBO and INSIDE , and were quick to point out Cocoon’s similarities and differences with those previous titles.
