Mid June Update!

Hey guys! I asked everyone on SG which games I should play and you all gave some great recommendations! I knocked out some super short games so that I could focus on these longer ones. So the rest of the month is dedicated to Life is Strange, Control, Arkham Asylum, and maybe some Challenge Me games as well!
 

The Twins

1 hours, no achievements
2/5 no spooks here

The Twins is a short rpg-maker horror game. The game tells you that before playing you have to gather specific items in real life and perform a sort of ritual to start playing. So if you don't believe in supernatural beings or that a video game can summon them, it'll be lost on you like it was on me.

Then it goes through some creepypasta like stories and poems. By the end, it asks you to spread the game to others so that the ghosts don't get you. Basically asking you to recommend or buy this game for others.

The game does have a creepy tone and I'm easily scared so just having eerie music with creepy stories did spook me a little. Everything considered though, there's nothing special to this one. I would not recommend it.


Comedy Night

1 hours, no achievements
2/5 good concept ruined by people

Comedy Night is a neat little platform for entertainers to showcase their talents. The game puts you in a comedy club setting and you can either talk on stage or just watch others talk or perform. The rooms are seperated by comedy, music, or just talking. The person on stage can talk about whatever they want and the audience (other players) can reply back or use emotes to clap, boo, etc.

The idea is really cool and I love any platform that lets people showcase their talents safely on the internet. The problem is that the game is just full of trolls or just awful people. I went on a few different times to check it out and almost every time there was a racist or homophobic remark being thrown around. It wouldn't matter if its a comedy or music oriented room, most times it would just be people arguing on stage or being rude in the audience. It was really just a big ol mess. .

Overall, I would not recommend this game. I was never going to talk in the game but I wanted to be part of the audience to see what interesting things come from it, but nothing good.


Draw & Guess

0.30 hours, no achievements
2/5 completely dead

Draw & Guess is one of those games like pictionary where one player will get a prompt and draw a picture and the other players have to guess what it is before the time runs out. There is no one online in this game. There hasn't been in the months since I bought it. If you don't have friends that want to play this, then make sure not to get it.

I played one game with a friend and then I uninstalled it. It can be a fun game but it doesn't provide anything you won't find in a free version of this online. I would not recommend.
