Banana - The 4th Most Popular Game on Steam (please don't play this)
Two days ago, someone sent me an email asking me to check out this game on Steam called "Banana". Despite its complete obscurity, it somehow has hundreds of thousands of players online at all times, making it rank consistently in the top 5 most played games on #Steam. This seemed right up my alley, and I knew there had to be something suspicious going on.
Turns out, I was right, and Banana might just be one of the most shameless cash-grab schemes of the year.

Jauwn, why do you always make fun of the Epic Games Store when #Steam is just as bad? Let's not get too overzealous. Steam isn't that bad. However, they've definitely let the #crypto and #nftgame plague spread, despite having announced a "ban" on them. I've curated a tour of 5 crypto games on Steam, and in this video, I give a brief review and some background on each game. Unsurprisingly, they ...
Worst NFT Game Ever? | Parallel TCG Gameplay and Review
Переглядів 263 тис.Місяць тому
#Parallel is a newly-released (beta of course) #crypto #tcg that made a mild ripple in internet discourse a couple weeks ago. A slew of former Hearthstone streamers signed on as Parallel Ambassadors, and a brief clash of fandoms ensued on Twitter. I, being the most unbiased and neutral crypto game reviewer to ever live (peer reviewed fact), just knew it was the perfect game to bring back this s...
Crypto Games Are Beyond Desperate (so we pranked them)

Alternate Title: I am in a Crypto Game Ah, our old friends, the Epic Games Store. How I missed you. In today's #crypto and #nftgame deep dive, I accidentally uncovered a crypto game scam in progress. This game featured some of the most blatant copyright infringement I've ever seen, featuring copy/pasted open-source code, minus any attribution. Oopsies! Luckily for them, we helped out by pushing...

GODS UNCHAINED 2022 REVIEW: ua-cam.com/video/lPvs74vCX7g/v-deo.html Gods Unchained was one of the first crypto games I reviewed. It was also one of my favorite, scoring just below a 5/10. At the time, the game was woefully mediocre, unfinished, expensive, and decaying. But that was more than a year ago; and it looks like Gods Unchained still exists. Join me in today's video as we dive back in t...
ParaWorld: The 3rd Best German Game of 2006
Переглядів 134 тис.3 місяці тому
ParaWorld is an RTS with dinosaurs. It is the second and final game released by the Berlin-based studio Spieleentwicklungskombinat GmbH (SEK), known to many of us as the developers of Diggles: The Myth of Fenris. It was a very expensive game to develop, costing well over $8,000,000, making it the most expensive game developed by a German studio at the time. It did not sell very well, at less th...

Robot Arena: The Original Bargain Bin Banger
Переглядів 86 тис.5 місяців тому
Robot Arena: Design & Destroy was a surprising bargain bin hit from 2003. It's a simple game that works as it should, and it fills a niche that still remains to this day. While I might be partially blinded by nostalgia, there is no question that developers Gabriel Interactive have never been able to top the success of this game. Besides, with a non-zero playerbase in 2024, it's already more suc...
NFT Games: Revisited (are we rich yet?)
Переглядів 545 тис.5 місяців тому
One year ago, I began scraping the bottom of the gaming industry barrel. I found #crypto and #NFT games. While a common defense for their poor quality may be "it's still early", I've let a year pass. Are we still early? How much progress has been made on these games? Would I have made money had I invested in them? In this new video series, I dive back in to my previously reviewed games, giving ...

What Ever Happened to Dr. Disrespect's NFT Game? (DeadRop)

Unfortunately, those calls to action seem to have fallen on deaf ears, as the player base has already abandoned the game. Jokes aside, has #Deadrop improved at all since the last time I played it, over 200 days ago? Is it fina...
Diggles: A Bizarre Colony Sim From 2001

Diggles: The Myth of Fenris is one of the most unique games I've ever played. It has a well-crafted world, an interesting premise, and a core gameplay loop that really hasn't been seen any time since this released over 20 years ago. The game sold rather poorly at launch, and it didn't get very good reviews either. While Diggles has an EXTREMELY innovative premise and style of gameplay, it ultim...
The Epic Games Store is a Landfill for Crypto Shovelware

How did we, as gamers, let this happen? The #Epic Games Store made an attempt to become the best gaming platform on PC by allowing #crypto games. How has that turned out for them? Honestly, it probably hasn't hurt them much at all, because I might be the only person brave enough to ever have played any of these terrible games.

    I love how in expecting crypto projects to actually implement the crypto into the game, Valve managed to keep from closing the gates on the vast majority of these. Nice. Somehow they set the bar too high with that.

    developers earn virtual money. Please tell me how this money is real. People play free game then just sell item for 0,3 cents, then when they earn some money on account after selling bananas they buy another banana and someone receive virual money. It doesn't make sense how developers make money on it.

    Idk much about gaming so I don’t know what ‘cash grab’ and ‘bloating’ means (just some words I’ve seen in the comments). But you can make whatever game you want, it’s your creative pursuit. I don’t understand any criticism towards developers. Blame consumers.

    To be frank everyone should learn the fact once something is posted to the internet it's there forever. Sure, someone could make a false DMCA claim to get something removed from UA-cam. But that won't delete it from the internet it's already been posted it will always be out there in some form.

    The names in this game seem very artfully chosen - Sisyphus and his never ending task is apt, and Entropia itself is a decent reflection of how the gameplay loop leads to an inevitable gradual decay to a steady state both on an individual player basis (pretty much everything you do causes a net loss of your resources requiring an external source of resource renewal) and for the game as a whole (the in-game economy is not self-sustaining and requires a constant stream of external revenue to keep it functioning). Also, despite its many flaws it's still a fuck heap better than any of the NFT games you've covered.
