100% orange juice is one of the few games where I am completely drained of all happiness when I play it. it's funny when playing ironically, but, even when playing in this way, the complete and utter boredom that this game instils completely overtakes any jokes regarding it and just makes a completely miserable experience
this boredom is a result of how awful this game is as a party game. party games are fun because of the interactions between players, with most party games having elements of randomness, but also elements of strategy to make the game not feel too unfair. party games thrive off of laughing and screaming at the random but still trying during the strategy moments: mario party is THE party game series because it (sometimes) strikes this balance extremely well (specifically in mario party 3 which is peak)
100% orange juice completely puts all of its chips on randomness and leaves the tiniest crumbs of strategy. one rolls a dice during their turn and moves the given amount of spaces, and one chooses which direction to move. and that concludes almost all of the strategy of the game. the only other bits of strategy are the insanely bare and destitute battles, which demonstrate another major issue with this game
this game is one of the most boring and gruelling processes that I've ever endured. this game is literally just 'roll, choose direction', with there being essentially nothing else of value. battles are insanely simple and trivial, with them feeling awful because there's essentially no strategy or planning necessary because of how bare they are in terms of mechanics and difficulty
this game is just awful. I can barely stand it with friends while playing it ironically, it's just so insufferable. I really hate this boring and abhorrent excuse for a 'game' so much
