Say what you want about Devolver Digital, personally I’m a fan; the games they publish are interesting to say the least. The same looks like it can be said about Cricket Through the Ages. Like they say, everyone has hit someone with a bat or ball at least once in their life. “Cricket Through the Ages is the factual, physics-based chronicle of humanity's passion for the spirit of cricket. Whether solo or with an able partner, batter up for a cricket-based game that's anything but cricket.” I am a little interested in how factual this title is, but I can’t imagine being lied to about that.
Cricket Through the Ages has a simple, one-button control scheme, can be played solo or with a friend, and does in-fact give you the real history of the game. As with a lot of history lessons I am sure there are some, pardon the pun, wicket twist and turns about how Cricket came to be. Cricket Through the Ages is now available on PC and Nintendo Switch, normally retailing for $7.99, but is currently 25% off.
