If you're gonna like Foxhole really comes down to what kind of video games player you wanna' be.

• If you wanna' shoot mans for five to thirty minutes in a fast paced arena then it's a bad time.

• If you wanna' spend an hour or five behind a rock making jokes about the enemy team's farts as they mustard gas your advances then it's absolutely excellent.

• If you think Euro Truck simulator doesn't have enough tank ambushes, then this is a game for you.

• If you wanna' be the big hero big boy such a good boy oh lemme pinchuwinchums your cheekies u big boy hero boy. Oh did u save the day my big handsome baby? My muscular vasculat baby waby warfightum. Did you get a call to ur dooty? Did you? *Did youuuu?*
then you're gonna' have a bad time.


• If you wanna haul a downed teammate out of a crater with a medical bag in one hand while they chirp "OH NO I HAVE GONE ALL DOWNY WOWNIES UWU" over your shoulder then join my squad I'm hilarious.
"PWEASE DOCTOR TURN MY FROWN UPSIDE DOWN"

Approachable, but complicated buildemup. I'm sure I'll have more complete thoughts later but right now I'm just trying to figure out programming.

Very excited to mess around with the track editor and organize a Mario Kart grand prix with my friends.

Game has insufficient moderation capabilities to suss out who is drawing ♥♥♥♥♥ on the map so the rest of the lobby can voteban. Without community management tools it's only playable with friends you already trust.

Embr is what I've been waiting for, but didn't really know I wanted.

Embr has a lot going for it visually. It has first and foremost a charming, cohesive, and inviting aesthetic. Bold and bright colors make it a cheerful experience even at its most frantic or desperate. The chunky low-poly aesthetic comes together to remind me at least passingly of Ed Edd and Eddy and other cartoon classics of my youth. Interactable items and hazards are easy to understand, while presenting interesting challenges. I can't make any claims about color-blind-friendliness, but the game relies strongly on large, animated, chunky shapes, so I'm sure it's definitely not doing poorly at it. In all, the whole game is easy to understand and fun to look at.

It follows that up with a really charming sense of humor satirizing the gig economy at every turn. From the career fair introduction to the absolute dingdong clients that you're yanking from their preoccupation taking a selfie with their burning television. I'm particularly amused by the clients that are so insistent on taking a right proper dump that left unattended they will quietly dash back into a burning building to finish their business and ruin yours. Embr has *aggressive* competition in the form of Hoser, but you'll need to play the game to get the skinny on that drama.

It's a very refreshing thing to be boldly dashing into danger to save people with something that isn't a gun, from something that isn't people with guns, or things that are best handled by some other kind of non-gun-related murder. The game doesn't go out of its way to spatter blood on the wall, make the clients scream in agony while they're throwing themselves bodily into a grease fire either. Instead they have Embr's app informing you politely via text message that a person has expired, and turning them immediately into a hilariously goofy cartoon skeleton. People are dim and distracted, but also so perfectly unconcerned with what's going on around them that failure doesn't have much of a sting.

Embr's gameplay has a really creative and cute array of tools that gets you to think outside of the box when doing your duties. Rounds can last as little as five minutes, and in that way really respects my time as a working person. In the hours I've played, I have thrown clients from a burning building onto mattresses, waterslides, other players, and even for a while a helpfully angled bouncepad. I've made bridges out of ladders and deployed at least one magical, flying, slip n' slide of doom as I throw myself around a burning pile of industrial shipping crates that have been converted into fire-prone homes.

Get this game! It's good solo, it's better with friends, but it's never bad.

XCom Chimera squad is a game that crashes when new enemies are introduced to the field mid-combat. It also features your characters deleting their own inventory between missions.

Wait for news about patch fixes or don't buy it. The half price is because they didn't do any QA.

All that's missing is you.

Intruder is the only game, including actual Metal Gear Solid games, that has effectively captured the iconic silly sneak n' shoot gameplay I crave.

An experience for those driven by the sounds of jiggling doorknobs and footsteps. Designed to delight those with a strong urge to giggle manically under a desk while opponents fill a life-size cardboard cutout of yourself with holes. For anyone who wants to crawl through vents throwing tactical bananas under the tightly laced boots of your enemies. For anyone who has ever wished to lay in a planter while informing deadly enemies of your fictional exploits. For any person that's ever wanted to crack a door open *just a little bit* so you can feed your camera through the doorway before you go bursting in like an absolute dingdong.

Literally the only shortcomings of this game are its tiny userbase, and its reliance on players to use in-game communications, lest central mechanics be obviated by stinky stinker cheateypants beaming thoughts into one another's brains. Which you can do anyway with the camera binoculars, but please use the in-game features to do it.

Put down your private discord call, and pick up the best stealth action shooter produced to date.

SPACE

Club Penguin 2 sure is violent.

Has an aerodynamics system in place that really sets it apart from other contemporary block-based builder games.

Vilmonic is a wonderful life-simulating sandbox that really does great work in demonstrating how environments can influence animal behaviors and even to an extent their morphology. It's whimsical and light, without a tremendous quantity of fussy micromanagement. It manages to be so accessible without compromising on its depth either.

It is perpetually expanding, and I have had the tremendous fortune of getting to meet with Mark on his official Vilmonic discord. People have gone as far as cracking the Vilmonic Genome, and there's off and on talk of anim competition, so don't just buy the game. Come be part of the community as well.
