2 games have been assassinated
I recently finished both Refunct and A Boy and his Blob. Refunct is a short (very short) first person platformer that doesn’t have much going on for it, but it compensates by the fact that it’s only half an hour long. It also asks some pretty deep questions that will hurt you philosophically. All in all a fun experience. Extremely easy 100% that will only take you half an hour.
Now A Boy and his Blob, that’s a whole other deal. I have conflicted opinions, because on one hand, it does so many things right, and on the other, it fails where it matters most: the gameplay. The game is slow, and frankly, boring. There’s no sense of challenge and everything is so easy you could probably do it with your eyes closed. The only challenge lies in the awful controls, and that’s never fun. But I will say that I enjoyed it enormously. The art is gorgeous (to my taste), the music is beautiful, and the characters are unique and charming. Crushing the black goo enemies is fun and trying out all of the blob transformations is also entertaining. So all in all if you want a relaxing experience without any difficulty other than trying to adjust to the controls, I’d definitely recommend it.
It’s also a pretty easy (albeit time consuming) 100% if you are looking to increase your completed games count.

On a side note I’ll have 100%ed The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth in exactly 4 days.
Stay tuned for our next broadcasting where we show you how to make a magic trick involving just 4 cards and backlog.
I’m about six hours into a Boy and his blob and I’m pretty bored too. How long did it take you to beat? It’s way longer then I thought it’d be.
Around 16 hours.
Congrats! Just don’t think about Afterbirth+ while doing that :D I’m still disappointed T_T
I like the dlc :(
Hm, Boy and Blob aalso fit month theme. So I’ll try it too :P I hope.
A Boy and his blob looks good but I fear the bad controls and lack of challenge would put me off… then again you can find it fairly cheap so maybe I’ll give it a try someday.
