Puke ☑️

This is the most anticlimactic, no-frills victory I've ever seen. You're in a fight, next screen is this. Thank you for playing?

Nintendo Switch

DOOM's John Romero made a game with Crusader Kings publisher, Paradox Interactive. Imagine the potential!

Now crash back down to reality, where this turn-based strategy and city management game barely functions, let alone manages to do anything worthwhile. Repetitive from the first to the 50th hour, its dozens of confusing menus and options boil down to shooting people in the face endlessly in X-COM Chicago. Diplomacy, economy, strategy; it's there, but none of it matters.

The Switch version in particular is in the running for the worst game on the platform. It should not exist, period. Nintendo 64 textures, single digit frames, frequent crashes and even more bugs put it up there with shovelware, despite being a boxed release.

I have never seen a game so fleshed out with bad, contradictive game design. They put so much careful consideration in this clunker that it is gut-wrenching to see it through, just for it to not produce a single redeemable quality.

More Empire of Sin snapshots for y'all 🙏

Gimme Cohost polls. Cholls? That don't sound right.

Lemme ask Cohost what to play next, I trust these folks more than bird app these days.

Thanks 😘

Now that I've cleared both big projects, 13 Sentinels and Fire Emblem, I'm kinda in a hole about what to play on Switch next.

So that's where you come in!

Thanks to the people who are tapped in for the tool 💜

Sometimes I buy a game because I need to have one more thing in my cart to get free shipping. That was the case for Empire of Sin, which was like €10.

From DOOM's own, Alfonso John Romero; published by strategy greats, Paradox Interactive. It sounds like a match made in heaven.

The game has a Metacritic rating of 50. Thanks, chosters 😐

(at least it will be nice to break the cellophane seal on a game for once. I've been having some really weird anxiety about that lately.)
