Unoriginal and Uncreative【Game Log: Mid April 2025】
Bare minimum Today just cause I absolutely have to post something.
Major Timesinks and Finished Games
Burden of Command is a weird tactical WWII game that focuses on the process of being a commanding officer, rather than just sliding troops around a board. With a touch of narrative adventure. Really novel, but also really slow. The tutorial campaign takes the form of a 2 hour boot camp.
I fucking love Promise Mascot Agency. It's the latest Kaizen Gameworks game, where you play as a Yakuza member managing a mascot talent agency (In this universe mascots are real living creatures). The main mascot deputy is a severed finger, and there's also a perpetually crying block of tofu and a pervert cat covered in goo that is obsessed with adult video. Game of the Year
Blue Prince is a puzzle game. It asks "What if we made the best game of the decade and forced you to play the worst game of the decade in order to be able to play fragments of it?" It's alright.
All Games Played
