    This game is neat and all, but I don’t understand the blitzkrieg of popularity for what is essentially a different take on Prop Hunt.

    Did he pay a bunch of streamers to play it, and popularity did the rest?

      Games that are only enjoyable because of the people you play with, I.E. your friends.

          A lot of them are pretty mediocre beyond the first few sessions you play with your friends. A lot of the games are usually early access with not much content initially, but they’ll drip feed new stuff every once in a while.

          A lot of them are 6 dollars like this game so the expectations aren’t high. Being mediocre is fine.

          There are many games that can only be played as a twitch streamer or if you have 15 friends to game with. It’s validly disparaging, albeit it’s fine they exist.
