I know I'm being a gigantic philistine here but... why?

Every goddamn game journalist is licking this game's asshole, even Yahtzee. Why???

Well obviously because it's an art game that teaches you about the human condition and blah blah

BUT IT'S A GODDAMN VIDEOGAME!

What I'm getting at is the gameplay is complete and utter shit. I guess I was thinking in the "Tapper" mindset: a puzzle game with a shit job theme


If Yahtzee had an ounce of integrity he'd have ragged harder on the fact that if you fuck up at all you are IMMEDIATELY CITED FOR IT by some secondary, obviously much better equipped checkpoint. The fact he only spent 5 seconds on that before continuing to praise it is fucking pathetic after all the whining he does for AAA games for similar issues.

And unless your heartstrings are easily moved by simple text messages like "Your virtual son has a cold", the game becomes infinitely more dull and more beatable if you just micromanage and ration your family's care while continuing to let people slip in or whatever the Hell else.

I played it for two hours. Shrugged. Moved on. Played Saints Row IV.
