Octogeddon

Octogeddon

I was a huge fan of the original Plants vs Zombies, so I got this Day 1. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but much like how a chicken that spits out explosive eggs sprouts from a tentacle, it grew on me! This is a game that doesn’t show its entire hand at once and gets better the more you unlock.

Like PvZ, there is a ramp up from from nothing (1 sunflower = lowly 2 tentacles) to a full complement of destruction (a full garden of bullet peas = multiple legs of crushing, spitting, cutting action!). However, this sense of escalation is built through the entire game instead of short rounds; on the bad side, this means that each game starts of a bit slowly and it takes a while to build, but on the good side, once you build up your arsenal the action is sustained from that point. In that sense, it’s not as much of a dip-in, dip-out game like PvZ since the feeling of a satisfying complete play session is measured in whole playthroughs, not rounds.

This game is juggling a lot of balls for having such simple gameplay, and it gets a lot of it right.

Some examples: the game has ocean portions where you float at the center of the screen and land portions where you roll around. They’re different enough that you have to think about how your purchases are going to be affected by each level type, but similar enough that you can figure it out on your own pretty easily. The goldfish provides enough gold to give you an edge in Hard Mode, so you need to be careful about when you get rid of it to free a tentacle for a weapon. You can spend money on lives, but don’t spend too much or you’ll be underpowered… The balance in all these things is really perfect, and it must have taken a long time to figure out how all that should work.

VR Guardians

VR Guardians is a free to play VR game that is a sword and shield wave survival game. It worked on my HTC Vive system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. There is instruction cards in the lobby for the supported VR sytems. You have two quest to go through. Has 6 steam acheivements that are given out for successful quest completion. Instructions said something about spells, there might be ranged attacks you need to finish the game better. Maybe 10 to 20 minutes of content. I was successful going through the fire quest without knowing what to do, but in the water quest i died. I guess i could try again later.
