Honey, I Joined a Cult vs Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
Honey, I Joined a Cult
Honey, I Joined a Cult is a whimsical cult simulation/management game where you play as the cult leader supreme managing your very own “startup cult”. The goal here is to set up your own cult compound, recruit as many cultists to your divine cause as you can, all the while making sure you’re profiting off every follower you get and avoiding scrutiny from the authorities.To be honest though, Honey, I Joined a Cult isn’t exactly a game where you joined a cult but instead puts you into the shoes of the leader of one. The game is very similar to Prison Architect so if you’ve enjoyed the latter, you’ll definitely love playing this game. It’s funny and the management part of the gameplay is fun to play. So, if you’ve always envisioned yourself leading a cult, you might want to give this game a try! After all, what could go wrong?
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.
