Here’s to 2022, everyone.
I didnt realise how hooked I was until the end drew near.
I was smitten, hanging on every word, and hoping for happy endings all around.
Everyone can get involved.
And, when you botch a note and let out a squelcher, everyone can laugh.
AsAlice0 said back in September, the worst-case scenario is making fart noises, and fart noises are funny.
Trombone Champ feels like a true RPS game at heart.
It’s funny, but also has devilish secrets.
Like, there is literally an imp who stands on a pentagram as their eyes swirl with chaos.
Everything’s better with fart noises!
Trombone Champ deserves to become a staple of internet culture for that reason alone.
It felt grounded and gritty, with the punchy gunplay that Call Of Duty does so well.
The Gulag and squad buybacks made it slightly less punishing than alternatives.
It was brilliant, and I played every night.
Why am I going on about Warzone in a bit aboutWarzone 2, you ask?
After the original collapsed under the weight ofCold WarandVanguardweaponry, all seemed lost.
My time with Warzone seemed to be at an end.
And then along comes Warzone 2, which feels just like the original in its heyday.
The new map seems less vibrant than Caldera, and that makes the environments much easier to read.
It also has more open areas that are void of greenery altogether, which makes movement feel dangerous again.
Al Mazrah has something for everyone, and Ive loved finding familiar patterns in this new space.
That doesnt mean its identical, of course.
The circle splits into multiple zones during a match, before coming back together for the finale.
The Gulag is now a 2v2 battle, riffing on the popular Gunfight multiplayer mode.
These changes feel minor, though.
There’s one dude who either pretends to be invisible, or actually believes it for real.
Either way, they won’t budge one bit.
They are invisible, but also absolutely not.
I played along anyway, pretending that I couldn’t see them.
It was cute, silly, and very funny.
As you run around and make friends, Lil Gator Game does everything it can to promote relaxation.
The melodic music stays at a comforting level, never peaking to evoke a dramatic reaction.
The world is calm, and playing in it feels like snuggling up in a fluffy blanket.
It is pure happiness.
