    Forager - I know people rate it highly but it is a literal stardew valley Minecraft mix. It’s a grind game that can waste your life and it lacks the rewards of Stardew or the skill of Minecraft. Still amazing fo play.

    Balan Wonderworld that we keep calling Balan Wonderland because it would make more sense, but the title is just the tip of the iceberg 🧊 it’s the gift that keeps on giving it has Neil Breen x The Room vibes if you like colourful cartoony platformers like a hat in time or hell pie, but want every button to do the same thing and want jump to be a special power that you need to unlock then… this masterpiece will keep you interested oh and there is lore! it’s an ebook you can download because nothing gets explained in the game itself 😀

    Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Louder

    “Hey, what if we make a prequel game the classic pervert-themed PC game, but we set it in his college years and let you do silly missions around a college campus in the attempt to see PG13 pics of bikini clad models. And then… that’s it, just mini games with the goal of seeing pictures as titillating as a Maxim magazine thats been edited to be safe for a doctor’s office waiting room.”

    “Ride to Hell: Retribution” is a game that’s so flawed in almost every aspect that it circles back around to being entertaining in a weird unique way…

      I loved the motorcycle chases where the motorcycle would fly off randomly to the side if you hit an obstacle, and the charm in the awful awful voice acting that sounded like someone putting on a dumb voice in a bathroom stall. And then spamming that epic kick on every enemy, the broke headshots, the canned animations…and the theme song that’s legit a banger. I really liked playing through the game but I would say it’s a terrible game.

      I felt a similar vibe doing Forspoken but unfortunately the game gave away on the linear main story to become more of an open world borefest. That was the one thing I really liked about Ride to Hell, that I wish for in more games…a game that sticks to doing a campaign as a linear set of levels that tell a clear story, instead of the checklist on a map gameplay of open world gaming today.

    I’ve said it in another thread but fallout 76 on launch with a group of friends was some of the most fun I’ve ever had in the game. Barely anything worked,hundreds of glitches and another friend who was high spectating us all came together to make it the weirdest feverdream I’ve ever played.

    If you go back now, in 2023 and play GTA Vice City; its so rubbish, the controls, the graphics, the PC port that needs mods to run properly, the everything; its so bad. But its SUCH a vibe.

    Pokemon Go

    First of all because whole gameplay is based on a glitch called quick/fast catch. Using it improves your efficiency severalfold.

    On the other hand there is so many bugs that is widely accepted as the matter of fact. And even though it sucks in many technical aspects people love it, making it one of the most popular games. Using glitches became part of the game. And some of them are hoped never to be patched.

    Star Ocean 4.

    The story is absolutely fucking bonkers. It is even dumber than the story in Final Fantasy 13, but it’s also much more entertaining.
