I did it! Easy grade is what it says. No harder than Lego. No tools needed although shave a couple teeny bits.
Also I never knew how strangely grim and quiet this game is. And the British VA (dev and did so many voices) is wildly vacillating between American and British accents. The delivery of the lines is just so flat, quiet, and weird. Strange game. Why did yall weirdos like this? It makes my skin crawl.
Watching @gameonysus.bsky.social suck at Conker: “ain’t no way it’s that hard.” No it sucks. I even, after seeing Janet do it, failed to pick up the key after hitting it. Ignore the emulator breaking my shadow.
legitimately i will proofread your game your free if you ask nicely. some DREADFUL semicolons in this game
Arguments I’ve seen include “but don’t you already have a pc?” Or “well I already have a second pc!” Or “valve is so greedy” or “just build your own”. None of these make sense.
Having finally seen The Backrooms and Obsession I feel absolutely insane thinking about all the posts I’ve seen like this. Pretty mid movies by all account. The fact that everyone was hyping up Obsession this much is wild. I’m all for cheap horror being successful but these are mid films.
Mother 3, another great save point. Always frogs but this one in a tiny car in particular absolutely rules.
Just finished Pragmata! I really enjoyed it. I think the gameplay is really unique and fun. Never got bored with it. There's lots of good, meaningful collectibles to find. And I really enjoyed the story and characters. Hugh and Diana are great. I hope we get a sequel.
I tried Arctic Eggs and loved the style but the physics based gameplay was too frustrating for me. About Fishing has really hooked me with its elevated style and presentation. It looks gorgeous while maintaining the surreal humor of their previous game. And I find the fishing fun and less tough.
I don’t have a ton of deep cuts but here are some of my favorite smaller games from the last few years.
