I want to talk about the endings of four games I’ve recently played–more specifically, the last act of each game. Those games are Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive); Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo (Galla Games); The Roottrees Are Dead (Evil Trout Inc.); and Paradise Mascot Agency (Kaizen Game Works). I have finished all… Continue Reading
I’m back to muse more about Paradise Mascot Agency (Kaizen Game Works) and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive). In the last post, I was focused on the stories of each game and how I felt about them. Oh, by the way, I bought a Pinky plushie. I was so enamored by her, I wanted… Continue Reading
I finished Promise Mascot Agency (Kaizen Game Works) today–and 100%ed it. By the end of the game, I only had three achievements to get (not that big of an accomplishment as most achievements had nearly half the players or more accomplishing them), so I decided to get them–naturally. One of them inluded the plane, and,… Continue Reading
I’m at the end game of Promise Mascot Agency (Kaizen Game Works), and as is true for most games, I play, I’m rushing to get to the end of it. Oh, by the way, this is the post from yesterday. I started Act 3…yesterday? The day before? Something like that, but then I promptly put… Continue Reading
In the last post, I was talking about how I always ended up doing the grind at some point in any game I played that had leveling/buying shit. I’m deep in it while playing Promise Mascot Agency (Kaizen Game Works), and I really wish I weren’t that way. Part of the problem is that I… Continue Reading
I have a problem with games, and I think it’s half me and half games. Yes, that’s games in general. I’ve been writing about how I love indie games that shoot for the stars while ultimately falling flat, but they’re frustrating to play at times. Today, I played more Promise Mascot Agency (Kaizen Game Works)… Continue Reading
In the last few months, I have played several indie games that have left a mark on me. For good and bad reasons in not-so-equal measures. I want to talk about two of them because they have thrilled and frustrated me while playing them, but I appreciate both of them for reaching for the sun.… Continue Reading
I’ve played more of Promise Mascot Agency (Kaizen Game Works), and I need to talk about it. I love so much about it–but there are a few things that really drag it down. In my last post, I touched on two of the things that really annoy me about the game, and I want to… Continue Reading
It was the Fourth of July today (yesterday now). I have never cared much about this holiday because I have very complicated feelings about my country, but now, my feelings are not as equivocal. Let me be clear. I am not a patriot. I have never been a patriot. Much as I have no brand… Continue Reading
I am obsessed with Promise Mascot Agency (Kaizen Game Works), so I’m doing another quick look (or extended look. whichever). I was saying yesterday that I was having difficulty with the driving–which is usually my least-favorite part of any given game. It was janky and jerky, no matter how much I fiddled with the controls.… Continue Reading
