Baba is You

This game is smarter that I will ever hope to be. 

But if you are also smarter than I am (the odds are high): You should totally play this game!

I bought this one because I LOVE a puzzle game and I really dug the animation - how simple and squiggly and stylized it was. The idea is: you're Baba - a lamb - and in each level, you have to be very clever in order to get to the "WIN" flag. Sometimes you have to avoid harrowing lava or streams of water. Sometimes, just a simple pile of rocks stands between you and the finish line. 

There's wordplay to it, there's thinking outside the box to it and it's honestly a perfectly simple-yet-full concept for a game. 

I just can't seem to get past certain levels! I was doing great until I wasn't. Perhaps I should stick to Untitled Goose Game. More my speed. 

There's not much to say about this little indie charmer, but I really do recommend it to anyone who is even slightly more able than I am to "think outside the box".

the Last Campfire

* author's note: to get full effect on this entry, play game soundtrack on youtube in background* Have we collected that I'm cheap, yet? I will absolutely pay money for the Zeldas and other legends of the game world. But I will also absolutely spend days researching a game / reading non-spoiling (and spoiling) reviews (depending) / look up how long game play typically is / do mental math to weigh whether or not the ROI can be justified.  (Especially now: gone are the days of the 6-month epics, for the most part.) So you can imagine my excitement when I came upon the Last Campfire  at a whopping 1.99. After finding that average gameplay was around 5-7 hours and realizing how terribly sad it was that I even bothered to look it up I mean damn, man it was two bucks girl just live a little why don't you *gasps for air*... I pulled the trigger.  This story is about death, again. I can explain. It looked so interesting, so original and it promised decent puzzles. I had  to...

Cozy Grove

 I had never played Animal Crossing, never played Stardew Valley... I wasn't entirely sure I'd played any  "cozy games" before. I wasn't even sure how far the genre went back... had it even been available while I was still neck-deep in the gaming universe?? I have since educated myself.  Turns out there are plenty of cozy games on the Switch (there might be multiples already posted here!). After watching countless youtube " best cozy games on the Switch"  videos, what was the title mentioned most? Cozy Grove .  I don't tend to like games that are vomit-inducing saccharin, so the art style made me a bit wary. Seemed like the kind of game everyone my age would go ga-ga over in high school while I was left to play Ehrgeiz by myself (no easy task, as this is a fighting game). I don't always want to escape into a fantastic  world where animals talk to me. Where I look suspiciously like a child, regardless of my age. Where everything  has cutesy under...

Intro

 This may be a placeholder entry  And this may never get properly edited.  Not sure which.  But suffice it to say:     I'm playing video games again. If it were a song:      God Help Us All (Good Riddance to Productivity) *Special thanks to Boyfriend for gifting me a console last Christmas. This is all your fault. -Management **This blog will contain spoilers ***I literally don't pay attention to story lines when I play games, depending on what mood I'm in when I start / what buttons I accidentally hit, so this will absolutely not be a complete guide to any of these games, just how I got on with them / what vibe they give / if they were worth the time spent.
