Embr vs Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
Embr
Embr lets anyone become a firefighter - after a short “tutorial”, of course – to earn a little cash on the side. Besides the funny-because-it’s-true jabs at companies like Uber and Grab, the game features hectic first-person co-op action where you rescue your clients from various burning structures, and maybe even steal some stuff to fence since everything’s going up in smoke anyway.If you’re into co-op games, Embr is one game you’ll want to at least try. It offers a kind of hectic co-op fun that’s different from Overcooked, and it comes with so many different game modes too. Of course, the game’s zany humor and ruthless jabs at the gig economy are just the perfect icing on this delicious piece of cake!
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds has rapidly grown from being simply a belated April Fools' parody of the increasingly popular Battle Royal genre into a full-blown battle royale game itself (note the irony). The game has a fun crystalline-like graphical style and a gameplay that may remind you of Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)... basically meaning that although you cannot build stuff, you can drive vehicles, including helicopters.What sets this game apart from all the other battle royale games is how "not serious" the game takes itself. The silliness in this game is through the roof, making it an excellent game to goof around with friends. The game touts a "physics-based everything", giving rise to hilarious moments while playing, such as getting blown off the ledge you're barely standing on due to the recoil effect from your gun. Of course, like PUBG, there are tons of cosmetics for your "weirdo" character to wear, sometimes to comedic effect - a Gandalf-slash-samurai, anyone?
In the realm of competitive battle royale gaming, it's really nice to see a game such as Totally Accurate Battlegrounds taking a mickey out of the possibly-overhyped and heavily-marketed genre. The game is currently undergoing a major overhaul due to its shift from free-to-play to premium and will be adding in anti-cheat measure and matchmaking, as well as improving server operations. As such, if you're thinking of getting this game, you might want to wait a bit.
