Ditching Work - Escape Game vs Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
Ditching Work - Escape Game
Ditching Work - Escape Game is an escape-the-room, puzzle game but the interesting thing is that the game has a Japanese-styled humor added to give it a bit of a unique twist. In this game, the whole purpose of escaping the "room", which in this case, is the office where you work, not just to be trapped in another room but to ditch work. The game works by getting you to tap on anything that catches your eye, be it an overturned flower pot or a closed cabinet, in hopes of finding the key to the lock which bars your escape. Sometimes, you may even find collectibles that will end up in your Item Gallery. Need some help with a level? You can watch video ads to get free hints. Hints are numbered and some levels have multiple hints while other may just have 1 or 2.Ditching Work - Escape Game is definitely one of the oddly-relatable, at least for any working adult, games especially when you encounter a day at work that you just wish you could escape from. This game is pretty humorous as well - this is the sort of game where you can feed your coworkers and your boss spoiled bananas just so they will all dash to the toilet, leaving you with the golden opportunity and an unlocked door to skip out on work.
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.
