Try A Thing: Free To Walk Style
Yep, Sword's digesting more free to play games off of Steam. This time, walking simulators. Delicious and low in calories.
Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist
SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years. No, I didn't mistype. Yes, I know what game I'm talking about here. Eight. Eight. Eight.
When this first came out meta-narratives were relatively fresh and new, so I don't hold that against this game. I just... was expecting a little more narrative and a little less meta, maybe. Not bad, for a short jaunt, but... well. It mostly left me wanting to play Stanley Parable.
Off-Peak
This... I feel like there's more to this than there is. It's surreal, avant-garde, and very much a jazz-inspired deal. I hear that there's a follow-up game that has a price tag and, assumedly, a budget to go along with it. Out of the two games I tried, this one I think is the more compelling one, if slightly lower quality. There's something to be said for surrealism, you know? And glowing cow skulls are... pretty surreal.
What next? Well, next I intend to finish up my last Four Job Fiesta of the year, play some Fire Emblem, and maybe unwrap some games a close friend gifted to me. We'll see how that all shakes out.
