this sort of game (and online horror in general) is extremely hit or miss to me, leaning toward miss most of the time. i am happy to say, however, that this was basically all hit. everything it has to show you is extremely effective at building an uncomfortable atmosphere and it is very, very freaky sometimes! it only has one moment that i think is really lame and typical of a modern horror game and you are unlikely to see it.

to me, this is a great utilization of the strong liminal/anomaly concept that so many writers and devs lean on to make lazy and uninspired art.

It gets really good after the second duck spawns

Arthurian Legends is a cool uh, boomer slasher I guess (sorry for my lack of knowledge). It feels really good and the levels are intricately designed. The weapon/tool diversity is really good too.

There are 9 main weapon slots, but there are multiple tools per slot sometimes. You also get 3 off hand slots that are separate things (excluding bare handed fist). There are ALSO multiple potions to drink for buffs, bear traps/caltrops to drop, and probably like 7ish spells that are considered consumables to use. There is almost an overbearing amount of things to use, and I felt like I barely used a lot of the consumeable stuff, but every thing is has its place. That's what makes a good Boomer whatever, every tool/weapon having a purpose and being good in the situations you need them. The spike club stuns enemies after you hit them if you need to stun lock particular enemies, the bastard sword has long reach and can hit multiple times per swing, but its two handed, grenades for immediate AOE, flame grenades for AOE and DOT, holy hand grenades for Fuck You moments, among some other stuff. Off hand stuff includes a shield for blocking, bare fist for 1 + 2 combos to get more damage in (feels very satisfying once you get that rhythym), a dagger for higher 1 + 2 damage, and a mini crossbow if you dont want to take out your 2 handed crossbow. Also, everything but fists/axe (base weapon) has durability or ammo. Your shield or bastard sword will deteriorate eventually, but you can just make up more to refill that. There are different tiers of shields and armour too. The spells are the big Fuck You shit that feel good and are each pretty different enough to judge what you want to use.

The levels are fills with secrets and are fun to explore. Some of the levels have real bad framerate dips though, but only a couple (to me anyways). There are 8 relics to find across the 3 chapter campaign, and they are all permanent upgrades, and I find that pretty cool. Stuff like hold more ammo, hold more tools, better armor rating, +2 to all melee damage, 50% less elemental damage.

There are also a couple of bonus modes. Arena mode has 4 different arenas you can fight through and you get a preset loadout before hand and have to fight a pre-set order of enemies. Horde mode has 2 maps (I didnt get to the second one) where you progressively unlock more load out the higher kill score you get. The enemies are randomly generate sets of 3 though. The last mode is 3 challenges you can play. The first one is a Axe and a Shield 1v1 vs every enemy in the game endurance, the second is you berserk mode fist punching like 20 enemies at once, and I didnt unlock the third.

Overall I think this is just a good Boomer whatever. Combat feels thrilling, levels are dope, and every tool/weapon fucks.

cute and more engaging than i expected

In Doronko Wanko you are a little Pomeranian who gets dirty, your owner is asleep, and you are a devil creature. You run around tracking whatever coloured liquid you can racking up a repair bill score. It's a fun little thing thats free.

Pawggle is a cool take on Peggle in which you have to place the blocks down before you shoot. You have a couple obligatory blocks, then after that you get 3 blocks per shot optionally. You get these blocks because you cannot actually aim the ball, you must use the blocks to change the trajectory mid shot. It is a cool idea, but I still just prefer normal Peggle.

Also, I am pretty sure there are no Pawgs in this game, so bad name

my dumb ass thought this would be a platformer

I got this game because my friend found it and 1.) The name is funny and 2.) the steam trailer makes this game look fucking awesome (funny awesome)

Endless Fucker is a endless runner where you play as a naked girl. The funny part about it to me is that you can only look at them from behind, cause if you try to rotate the camera to see boobs or what have you, you will immediately careen off the stage. Speaking of stages, there are 6 of them, barely. Its all the same line, but the obstacles will be more plentiful, and the aesthetics (snowy, lava, jungle) will be different. They are randomly placed and will often be placed in bad ways in which you cannot really dodge at all and die.

The point of this game is to endlessly run, and to collect crash bandicoot crystals. The crystals will buy you more girls to play as. There is also an alternate mode, the sex gallery. You can collect a certain amount of sex positions per stage, then buy the rest. Then you can select any of the wonderful woman you have bought and watch any sexual position you want on any of the stages!

Also, the money doesn't fucking matter because the game let me go into the negatives so I just bought everything I could.

i am horrified and crestfallen to concede that this is easily the best of the licensed GBA games i have played so far. it’s a real game, unfortunately, although a tiny and inoffensive one.

i can’t stress enough that this is a contextual 8/10 based on expectations and experiences in the form, but for what it is, it’s your bush-era money’s worth.
