Things have been really heavily mobile gaming focused lately. I suppose its also worth mentioning, sometimes, often times, there are games that I don’t mention at all. Like when I spent ten minutes on some Steam game that was meh. Or the CAT CEO game I played for like, a day.
Games I am omitting this week because I barely played them…
- A Godzilla Racing game.
- Oregon Trail
- Infinity Nikki
- Unreal Life
- Fortnite
- That Cat CEO game
- LinkedIn’s Daily Puzzle games
- Sky: CotL
Loop Hero
I decided to dig a bit into what was available on Play Pass, since I pay for it, and use it, but could use it more. This is one I picked up there.
Its sort of an, auto playing RPG, though you do have to manage gear and planning out the map. Your character just walks around a looped path, and every round the enemies get harder. But you also get cards that you can play across the map to add power ups and harder enemies for better drops. Each loop you have the option to return to camp with your loot, though each loop resets everything.
Hence, Loop, Hero.
Its fun, I am starting to get some better strategies going for item placement and which stats are the best.
Balatro
I actually just bought this one, after a friend recommended it. It actually kind of reminds me of the sort of, gradual, subtle strategy, of Loop Hero, though way more cards.
You get dealt a number of cards (8 I think by default) and have to make Poker hands from them to tey to score points and beat the blind everytime. The trick is, the blind keeps going up and you need to upgrade points for hand types (Flush, Full House, etc), and use an assortment of Joker cards to beef up your combos and points.
I have a few good strategies but I have yet to make it past round 6/8, yet.
Like Loop Hero, every round you gain a few new unlocks, but everything resets otherwise.
Pokemon TCG Pocket
I am still… Diligently opening packs twice a day. I don’t like playing against people and the Expert AI opponents are cheap as hell impossible.
I kind of want to finish the set of cards, but I am not sure I will bother.
Throne and Liberty
I have almost completely stopped playing T&L. I could feel it coming, and it followed the usual pattern of, “I feel my interest waning” followed by “Lets push and play extra” after. Then Thanksgiving week was busy and I just sort of, stopped. I did all the available dungeons, I did all the quests, now its just, a repetitive gear grind. I can’t even transmog items to play dress up like in WoW, not without paying money. I feel like I have worn the same armor for 90% of the game now.
Beatstar
Another, “I can tell I am losing interest. I want to enjoy it more but its just, very repetitious. And I either instantly ace new song unlocks, or its an extreme tier track that I lose in Stage 2 at 10,000 points because hit detection on swipes is pretty ass for a game entirely built around hit detection.
Seriously though, look at these, they are cluttering things up and wrecking my “% Completed” on my profile.
