Today's game is Castle Crashers. I had some friends somehow talk me into playing it, which is impressive as i am not a fan of Beat Em Ups usually.
Why? Well, mainly they just end up overwhelming me and i end up feeling like i just mash the attack button and hope for the best. It's a me issue for sure and no shade to these games, but it's also an issue i definitely encounter.
Surprisingly though i didn't feel a lot of that. A little? Maybe, but i do think playing with friends helped to take the metaphorical "heat" off my back with this and make it more enjoyable.
The humor i could take or leave in a few spots, but overall it's not too bad in that department, and the art style is kind of nice too which is good.
The soundtrack i ended up recognizing from other places. I assume it was a youtube video or something because i recognized one specific track and it was an interesting experience.
Anyways, despite my enjoyment, One of my friends ended up not so much. He dropped out and we all went with him to play with him next time he felt up for it. It wasn't a hard no, but yknow, only so much in small doses. Anyways, it was just another fun social detour before going back to Jedi Survivor (if the steam sale tomorrow doesn't add 50 million other things to my steam Library that is)
Getting close to 2 years!
I've been planning some stuff for it, nothing grand, but mainly i wrote a bash script that collects the games i featured. I thought making a leaderboard of some sort for the games would be a fun way to celebrate. I still have to actually sort some of the results, as some games back at the start didn't have any text for my script to parse, but it's mostly just me combining the results together now. I actually had to nerf Halo and split it into separate games because it featured so many times lmao
Looking forward to it!
I always click on these when they pop into my feed. It somehow feels like a relic of the old internet -- someone just honestly sharing something with no agenda.
