Sometimes you play a game...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
Sometimes the game just doesn't load. Sometimes it doesn't let you get past its menu screen. In my opinion, the most disheartening kind of broken game is the one that looks like a functioning, finished product but is unplayable because of it's sloppy mechanics and blatant lack of playtesting. The last game I recall from memory that fit into this category was A Series of Tubes.
Gigoon can now be added to the list.
essentially, this game is Attack of the 50ft Robot if the robot was a brilliantly designed monster that, more often than not, refused to move. This game had the foundation to be the most fun thing since sliced yo-yos. The only thing I didn't like about Attack of the 50ft Robot was the visual style. This game looked like it was going to fix that, but broken mechanics ensured that no fun times would be had.
That's all I got for today. Until next time, stay mobile
