You hit every branch when you fell out of the ugly tree
Ok! It’s been a while, the plan was to post at least once a week but life happens. Luckily this isn’t a job!
I’ve been trying a few different games with varying levels of success, peppered with a lot of frustration with my computer. These are the games I’ve tried playing the past 4-6 weeks have been trying to play:
-Cities: Skylines
-Enter the Gungeon
-Battlefield: Bad Company 2
-Diablo 3: Season 14
Enter the Gungeon is the first roguelike that I’ve really put time into. I managed to put 9 hours into the game and even though I don’t feel like I’ve made any progress I have managed to consistently get to the 2nd boss and once or twice managed to get to the 3rd level.
I have no idea where my character is. I must have just gotten hit and am flashing.
The game is a twin-stick shooter roguelike where you get one life and try to get as far as you can in a dungeon that has every level randomly generated. Once you die the game is over and you have to start again. The only measurable sense of progression in it comes from defeating bosses, wherein you get money that can be spent at the gun store at the beginning of the game. Every item/gun you purchase gets added to the random pool in the gungeon. It’s frustrating but the fact that I’ve put 9 hours into it since I started in earnest is a good sign.
A short respite, once you clear a room you can take a quick brake before going to the next room full of guys that want to practice shooting you.
The characters are very cutesy/cartoony. It’s really funny watching the Bulletkin wobble around while they try to shoot you.
All in all it’s a fun game and very easy to pick up and put down because a typical run (if you’re garbage) is 15-20 minutes.
Next article will be about Cities and my frustration with my own stupidity, it’s great.
Until next time!
