yaaawwwwnnnn
hey, welcome back. though i guess it'd make more sense if i was.... the... one- hmmm.
i'm getting some crazy deja vu right now...
oh- haha right, this isn't the first time i've disappeared.
though that time, i was gone a lot longer than this case, so honestly the comparison doesn't land all that well.
whatever.
this week was, uhhmm... i couldn't tell you honestly. i barely remember any of it! from what i do remember though, a lot of it was spent playing
wooaaaahhhh holy shiiiittt did you like that cool banner there? did you like it? hey, did you like it?
i have been playing the everloving shit out of this game lately, and i just... i cannot put it down!!!!!!
what is it? well, it's a climbing game...
what, did you want me to explain more or something? sorry, i'm too lazy lol go check out its Steam page if you actually want to know what it's all about.
i played White Knuckle's demo just over a year ago now and i immediately fell in love. there was something about it that managed to tick pretty much every "do i like this video game?" box in my brain.
- visually appealing
- decently replayable
- movement, traversal, and "flow" feels good
- a nice "sweet spot" in difficulty
- just straight up fun
- uuhhmmm probably some more but i can't think of any
i hadn't even played any climbing games before i played White Knuckle, and i never really thought i'd be all that into them. but goddamn this game is fucking fire!!!!
actually, i still haven't played any other climbing game besides White Knuckle, so for all i know it's secretly an exception and i'll end up hating any other climbing game i play.
well i guess i've "played" Peak before, but it makes my PC shit itself for some reason so i can't actually play it.. 💔
if you, yes you! if you enjoy climbing games, or roguelikes... or both? then give White Knuckle's demo a shot and see what you think! i promise you'll have a great time, and if you don't? then... shit iunno, sorry?
