Hello gamers, welcome back to my blog.
If my memory serves me correctly, this game was all the rage during the 2020 lockdown. I remember watching streamers on youtube and Twitch going nuts about this game. Yes, it was a fun game and had its moments. The challenge here was simple - qualify for the next round and ultimately win the crown.
At that time, I also bought that game, played a couple of matches and realised as cute as this looks but it is a massively competitive one. It looks like an easy-going and relaxing casual game until you play it and realise this is one of the most challenging ones.
Sure, hugging a reindeer between all the chaos and trying to block him from winning is fun but this one is best enjoyed with friends. (preferably more than one).
I saw the news that it is going to be a free-to-play game now months ago and thought Shit everything will be behind huge paywalls, just like Rocket League. And I was right, so many things to buy from real cash. No way these games should be called free to play anymore haha
There are many shows to select from as well. Used to be just solo and squad only (?).
Coming back to the gameplay, I played a few rounds, and there are a lot more maps now. There used to be like 5 or 6 maps back then but we have a lot of maps now. I enjoyed my games, and had fun... some of the rounds were way too easy while others are at dark soul levels haha.
Here is the gameplay video I uploaded to Youtube.
As expected I did not even reach the final round. This "Hyperdrive Heroes" round is too tough. At one point only 3 people qualified out of 20. WTF...you fell and die in an instant. No retries in this round. I reached the second last round and again that nightmare of a level came to haunt us. I knew I will fell at some point and I did.
Another classic level I remember is "Slime climb" this one is fun, you have to reach the finish line to qualify for the next round. And you will install a die if you fell at some places and I did exactly that. If there is the slightest chance to fall I will... haha.
Here is my final verdict. It is still fun if you have a gang to play with. Solo? maybe not much here other than trying all the fun levels. If all the microtransactions stuff doesn't bother you much and want some casual yet competitive vibes, go for this. One of those crazy yet fun games.
Thanks for reading...
See you around the block.
