Unoriginal and Uncreative【】
【Weekly Game Log: 2024-12-16】
My workplace has decided to do the "We need to work hard for the final X weeks to avoid working hard for the first X weeks next year" thing. Fortunately this upcoming week is my last one for the year. Despite this I played quite a few new and old games, mostly out of pure spite from the revolting Game Awards apologetics.
The free FPS Rose (with optional paid support DLC) decided to include y-axis inversion recently. So I decided to give it another try. Unfortunately I found it confusing both in terms of goals, and in terms of which of the things that move around and shoot me are enemies and which are just scenery. The view wobbling and narrow FOV are very disorienting and it has a double jump that sometimes doesn't work for no apparent reason.
LOK Digital is a puzzle game where you have to black out a grid of letter tiles. This is achieved by locating one of many "words" to erase, then performing a single mandatory action based on that word, and repeating until the entire puzzle is blacked out. This is really satisfying, and the "dictionary" of words provides a wide variety of puzzles, and (very) subtle clues to explain your failure. I have mostly really enjoyed this. But it's also a game where the "bonus" puzzles in each world are basically mandatory if you don't want the overwhelming majority of your time spent on pseudo-tutorial levels. I also don't think learning by doing works so well if there's constant text everywhere saying "HAY GUYS LEARNING BY DOING OVER HERE!" Also this game is apparently based on a book, but I can't possibly imagine solving this sort of puzzle in a book would be at all pleasant.
I made time to pick up my Judero game again, and the game continues to be incredible. The combat is still a tad awkward, but the music, aesthetics, and myriad crazy storylines and characters more than make up for it. Unfortunately I hit a constant crash bug at the end of the 2nd area that means I cannot complete the game until it is fixed.
I'm still playing a ton of Caves of Qud. Not much new to say, except that the game is as good as ever. And I'm still seeing both new content, and random improvements from version 1.0.
Cow Life Sim RPG is a bizarre game seemingly made in MSPaint. You play as a cow arriving via (tutorial) boat to their land inhabited entirely by queer (be it gay, lesbian, transgender, NB, or Italian) animals. While their you level up skills like walking around, scavenging, looking at things, juicing things (into juice of juice), and arson. Occasionally you trade things or do a quest. The dialogue here is both incredible and hilarious. "Arson Alligator" is one of the best new characters this year.
Another of the Kickstarter games I backed also released recently. 10 Dead Doves is a third person horror/adventure game, with tank controls, fixed camera angles, and humans with bizarre uncanny valley texture-map faces. You play as Marcus, searching with your friend Sean for a thing called "The Ant Farm" in the Appalachian mountains. I've found the mechanical act of playing this game awkward and borderline painful with a wrist-breaking (mandatory) keyboard binding or clumsy controller setup. But the actual story and vibe of the game is impeccable. A very mixed bag so far, but I look forward to seeing more of it.
