I have to assume that the games I've been playing all came in a bundle back in 2018, but I can't find any evidence that I purchased it.

Slice, Dice & Rice is fairly basic, but quite atmospheric beat-em-up.

The quirky thing about it is that as your character(s) are armed with some pretty sharp and pointy weapons, there's no health bars. A couple of hits, and your opponent is dead.

Win four matches, and take the round. There are four simple hit types, you can jump, but it's not entirely clear what triggers the jump (it might be pressing down on the left joystick?), and no complex series of button presses to remember.

If I'd paid the full price of A$14.50 for this game, I'd still be disappointed, but as it came in a bundle, I'm not judging it as harshly.

The stylised graphics and blood-spurting death animations, combined with a fairly quick load time make this a bit of fun to pick up, and lay the smack down for five minutes.

Slice, Dice & Rice is:

3: OK
