Dialogue Box: The Road Less Traveled
The choices are simple, picking is hard.
In “Dialogue Box: The road less traveled”, you will navigate a whimsical landscape while failing to keep your sanity.
The controls are extremely unintuitive and the humor is cheesy to a fault.
I am a great salesman.

Bound Up & Squirming!
Bought it during a sale, and what seemed like a joke game turned out to be quite the challenging platformer.
It starts to get a bit frustrating in some levels around midway through the campaign - just when I thought I got good at it, the game whoops my ass.
It’s good in short bursts as a side activity while listening to/watching something, otherwise it might get a bit too frustrating (though, obviously, your mileage may vary)

Its a fun, simple, polished little game where what you see is what you get. It’s made by the same guy as Mount your Friends and Mount your Friends 3D and the similarities are obvious like the non traditional platforming and character design. I’ve been spending a fair amount of time with the game while listening to streams or podcasts which it has been perfect for. Bound Up & Squirming has offered me strong simple gameplay mechanics and fair challenge I’ll probably play it all the way through which has become more of a rarity with the large amount of games being released every month. If you have Mount your Friends 3D you should have automatically gotten a coupon for the game that takes off a dollar or so to the games already small price point. The game is far beyond worth the price of admission especially since it’s $5.69 Canadian. Check it out if you want something simple and fun to play while consuming other entertainment or are interested in weird platformers.

Drunken Fist 🍺👊 Totally Accurate Beat ‘em up
I mainly recommend this game because it’s very cheap and it’s a very unique fun concept with the physics based fighting. More games should use proper physics. There is a sufficient amount of different moves to make it rather interesting. (although I’d add a few more)
However I think it’s far from desirable. It feels unpolished / unfinished with many features, such as key rebinding and level select are missing on release.
I also don’t like the “drunken” part. Sure, it’s advertised in the title, but in practice it means that the game is hard to control and clunky. While some could consider the result funny, I can only think of it as frustrating, as things often don’t work as I expect.

Tl;dr: Drunken Fist is a silly game that needs a lot of work. It feels like an Early Access title, but it’s being sold as a finished product.
The Good
- Silly and good for a laugh* Charming art style
The Bad
- Priced a bit higher than it should be for the quality/amount of content ($2 - $3 seems more reasonable)* Controls aren’t always responsive* Lacks something as basic as the ability to exit the game from the main menu* Player character can get stuck inside the scenery

This game is an absolute delight. It is a cheap game though and I would only recommend it at a price point of around 10 bucks. I paid 13.50 CAD and feel it was money well spent.
You need a particular mindset going in, however. Things you should know about the game.
It’s comprehensible, but it’s not super well translated.
Movement and control are very tricky, and take a while to get used to.
There is almost no animation in the game. Characters will rotate, but there’s very little moving of limbs and stuff.

+Learning to correctly orientate your character and effectively using the different poses is fun for a bit.
-There is not much in terms of a story.
-Be prepared for this playing the exact same song over and over till you are sick of it.
-Certain levels will be frustrating in difficulty.

Speaking Simulator
I, like many humans, enjoy the process of moving facial muscles in order to make audible sounds of communication. I recommend this educational experience to any fellow biological human who wishes to inefficiently spend time having what is often called fun.
Also contains inspirational messages about the future which can help briefly dampen the crushing effects of the fragile human condition.

It is difficult to convey how much of a struggle moving my mandible muscles in tandem with emoting my human eyebrows and lips while not making too much or too little eye contact in the same time period; however it provides me great solace that I can shake my human booty in a more sexually attractive and pleasing manner than Karen from HR and her robotic gyrations. After participating in this speech exercise program, I am well on my way to dominating the feeble minds of the weak humans inhabiting my town, then soon the world.

🚀 Human Rocket Person
Whoa! Way to go Activision! As you probaly know, Call of Duty has been going nowhere the last couple of games and many has been wondering what Activision would do with the franchise to revive it. Well, enter CC:HRP! It takes the series in a whole new brave direction! I mean, the inter-war, inter-age theme following different generations of the same family through ww1, ww2, the vietnam war, afghanistan and the american war is damn cool! Also, the historical accuracy is great. And then there is the changed controller scheme that changes the gameplay but in a really cool way! Anyhow, to sum it up:

This game is full of shit! In a good way :)
When I read the game was hard, I though: “Yea right…. How hard can it be?”. Well, it is hard! At the moment I’m mid level 6, and there is ass juice and helmets everywhere. It looks like a warzone, just with shit instead of blood. But the humor is awesome!
I see this game as a challenge. I want to beat this, no matter what. It takes time, and there will be poop. A lot of it. But I hope some day I will complete the game. Don’t give up if you play it, and don’t smash your keyboard or controller into the wall ;)

Soviet Bear Uni Adventure
Unicycle Punishment Simulator 2019
The hardest, most frustrating game mechanics of any game I’ve played to date. Aiming weapons in Golden Eye using a N64 controller is easier than this game. This game was harder than riding a real life unicycle. However, once you finally …. FINALLY… overcome that obstacle, you feel accomplished for 30 seconds, then you’re back to feeling frustrated by the next obstacle. It was different, comical and challenging.

I’m deeply ashamed that I finished this game and I hope that no one else will ever play it.
