Embr vs Merek's Market
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!
Merek's Market
Merek's Market is a whimsical shop simulation game with time management elements, putting you into the running shoes of a shopkeeper in a medieval fantasy period where adventurers are aplenty. Craft and sell a huge variety of useful items, be it armor, weapons, potions, or even… pottery, serve your customers as quickly as possible, and try to upsell your items whenever they decide to haggle!As you play, the levels get increasingly more difficult, making that shiny gold rating a real achievement to get. The game also comes with a host of twists to its gameplay, spicing up the typical time management levels with mini-games and funny dialogues.
If you’re a fan of time management games, Merek’s Market offers the kind of gameplay you seek with a couple of nice twists, slathered with enough tongue-in-cheek humor to make you bark out a laugh once or twice on every level. Although I’ve not tried the game’s co-op, its single-player mode is already very entertaining to play, and challenging too, if you’re aiming for that shiny gold rating. Highly recommended!
