dont get why in games like this where users could make levels for theoretically any song possible and they only choose bad edm songs. if im gonna be doing the video game equivalent of slamming my head into a wall until it breaks for an hour i'd rather do it to the tune of something id ever listen to outside of that context than Monstercat Selects #372 or whatever.
also incredible how this is threatening osu's title as the rhythm game pedophiles play

I swear every discord server has that one guy who'll occasionally post a clip that starts off on 'attempt 53837' with the most eye bleeding background you've ever seen where you can barely see what you're supposed to interact with, proceed to get through 43% of it at lightning speed and die, and then their next message is 'yeah gonna grind this one out a little more I'm liking this one'
when I first saw this previewed in Nintendo Power in 2008 I thought it was about Mario and Luigi entering Bowser's body to systematically shut down each of his bodily systems until he died from total organ failure. Given that I assumed that to be the premise it's kinda concerning I was so eager to play it
Krunker
2018
logging into a private Discord server that only I'm in to play Krunker by myself with all the lights out and noise-cancelling headphones on so I can divert 100% of my brain to the task at hand. all these fucking automata aren't even engaging with the game they're just treating it as secondary to whatever frivolous conversation they're having. I pick them off effortlessly with a sniper rifle I paid real-life money for while they spawn back in and brainlessly run around in the gaming equivalent of highway hypnosis. this is the place where I am the strongest. I am Chris Kyle. I am the Red Baron. I am a fucking killer and I'm glad you're just sentient enough to know you should be afraid of me. You and I are fundamentally different animals

Unpacking
2021
This dopey trout has three pairs of underwear and five hundred journals. What are you writing about? Swamp ass?
What's fairly interesting to me about this game is the ambient storytelling explored as you progress through the acts. What the faceless and wordless protagonist chooses to bring with her and return to as she travels through time, and the wear & tear they each experience as they cling to their passions through young adulthood. A fresh new undecorated house offering you free reign to personalise as if you've just bought a new Habbo Hotel apartment would often be preceded by a move with roommates, where the living space is shared and belongings need to be negotiated and respected. Unpacking really can be surprisingly stressful for a game that purports itself to be a zen little experience.
What ultimately holds the game back for me is the bizarre rules you're made to follow before a level counts as clear. As the last box is unfurled, red highlights activate throughout the house and they rarely ever seem to be for good reason - you can't even leave mugs on coasters.
