Rain World

Uh, but if, uh, you do wanna get it, it's only $19.99, and there is a bundle that has, uh, Crypt Custodian, which we were talking about earlier, and, uh, this title for, like-

Like 40 bucks or so

Which I already own Rain World, which is crazy

... kind of way.

And Rain World, one of my favorite games of all time.

But, you know, like the, the, if I'm playing a linear format game like that, I don't tend to replay them.

I, I get through to the end, and then that feels like a complete experience to me.

Of course, that's in the mix.

But I think that for me, when I push through on a difficult game, I access a bunch of things that are not accessible to me when I'm playing leaned back and I'm playing in a kinda comfort-oriented way.

Uh, and it depends on the game, right? You know, I haven't played Mina: The Hollower, but when I, um, when I pushed through on Rain World, having kinda bounced off it five or six times, and I decided finally, "Okay, I'm gonna bring my full brain, and I'm gonna bring a full amount of effort, and I'm really going to, to, to try to, uh, to get through this," um, it opens up, uh, dimensions of beauty that come from, I think, uh, roughly that there is a sense of reality, uh, a sense of, of weightiness given to the events in the game by, uh, my struggle to, to get through, right?

Mm.

So there you have it.

And if you own Rain World, it looks like they have a bundle where you can get it for 37% off.

If you are picking up both of those games or Crypt Custodian, you can get a good discount there too.

Yeah.

I already own rain world and that's why it ended up being cheaper than that.

Like, cause it's like, Oh, complete your bundle kind of thing.

And I was like, I love that.

Even though it's a brutal one, it really does feel like a fair one.

I'd say it feels fairer than Rain World as well.

Because

Rain World arguably has some stuff in common with this game in the way that, you know, the brutality of the world.

But Rain World did 100% throw you in some bullshit situations which were impossible to avoid.

I don't really think Spelunky does that.

And if it does, there is still usually it always felt like there was a way I could have done things differently.

And what we're going to be expecting is we have our three judges.

We have Connor Dawn, creator of Mercury, and well, Mercury Revolved, but mostly Combat Revolved, and a lot of other things, Rain World and such.

Vengeful Vadim, who is known for creating a lot of things, including my personal favorite right now, Reach Evolved, great mod.

And Inferno Plus, who is known for Cursed Halo and a bunch of other stuff.
