Play A Game…

I played League of Legends, which is a MOBA game by the Riot Games. I chose this game because it is popular among my friends, allowing me to play with them and making the game more enjoyable. It is a multiplayer game, with three different game options, Summoner’s Rift, ARAM, and TFT. I played Summoner’s Rift, where you are on a team of 5 against 5 others, who have different roles of, Attack Damage Character, Support, Jungle, Mid Lane, and Top Lane. The objective is to destroy the opposite team’s Nexus, and arriving to that point your team can tackle objectives and you can purchase items to enhance your gameplay. Within each role, there are several characters you can choose to play, which each have 4 different abilities. As you play the game there are more mini-objectives you can achieve. When you reach a certain level based on your general gameplay, you are able to compete in ranked matches, where you compete against people similar in level. Beating them increases your rank, as the holistic objective of the game is to reach the highest rank, challenger. Every “season” of the game ranks reset. The challenge of the complexity of mastering this game along with the reset of the rank keeps players hooked. The sub- objectives of the game add to my experience by urging me to play more to meet those accomplishments.

League of Legends has a deeper meaning within every aspect of the game. Each character, called a champion can be found to have an original backstory, along with a character card drawn in different art styles. As each champion can play different roles and have different abilities, each champion has a strong opponent and strong ally champion. The strength and success of a player can be determined solely based on the player’s skill at a champion, showing the diversity of a champion’s success based on the player’s knowledge of how to play the champion. This reveals the conclusion that skill and knowledge are key to ensure victory in a game. Another aspect of the game is its objective of defeating the opponent’s Nexus. Despite a team’s high kill count, better items, and skill, if the opposing team manages to destroy their Nexus, they are defeated. The importance of balance of mini- objectives and the greater purpose of the game is highlighted as mini- objectives may help to reach the greater objective, but being too absorbed in it can cause the opposite result.

I played Telestrations and it is a game where you and others pick a card and draw it out on the given white board. Once you draw it you hand it to the next person and they guess what it is. Then they hand it to the person next to them and they have to draw their guess. The game gets to be very funny when the players are not artistic at all. I selected this game because it is a game my friends and I enjoy playing and we always have such a fun time playing it. This game is a multiplayer game and the more people there are the better and the more fun there will be. If this game was single player it would not be fun at all and pointless, I would not want to play this by myself. Having others to play with is what makes it fun. The game allows expression of different pictures at hand. Through this game it shows that even though two people could be drawing the same thing, their interpretation is completely different. With this being said, this is probably my favorite part of the game, seeing everyone else’s interpretations.

With all of this being said, I can say that this game brings memories back to my life that are some of the happiest. When I played it for this post with my roommates it brought back memories of my friends from home and how much fun this game was and still is for us. When we see each other during break we still play it and we are always cackling with each other. For me the meaning of this game is bringing people together and using their sense of humor to mean something. This game always makes me think of my friends and happy times in my life and that is why I will always love to play this game.

I played 8 ball pool mobile version. I randomly downloaded this game a few years ago during a road trip, and I have been addicted to it since! Within the game, there are various different options, including 8 ball, 9 ball, etc. You can also choose various modes whether that’s multiplayer with friends, versus a computer-generated bot, or there is even an option where you can just play against yourself in “practice mode.” That’s one of my favorite parts of this game; the myriad of possibilities you can play within the app allows you to switch it up each time and you don’t get bored. Another fun aspect of this game is its point system. Upon choosing a game, you essentially get to choose the number of coins you want to bet. The amount of coins is correlated with the difficulty level of that game. For example, betting 100 coins would allow you to play a fairly easy round whereas if you pool in 10,000 coins, you are playing a much harder game that may give you a shorter play time or no guidelines for instance. With each win, you earn the money you bet plus your opponents.

All in all, I think this game has a pretty implicit message. The objective of play is to earn the most amount of coins possible, which ultimately dictates how many games you can play moving forward. I don’t play this game as often anymore as I used to, but I always have so much fun playing against my cousins even when we are not together. I love challenging them and my friends and it always creates the best memories!

The game I played is What Remains Of Edith Finch, which is a first person game in which you explore an abandoned family house and slowly discover the tragedy that haunts the family within it. I chose it because it was recommended to me, and overall I think I might recommend it again but it’s a very heavy game emotionally and touches on a lot of sensitive topics as it’s basically about each family member’s death and the grief that follows. So tread with caution on this one.
The game works by clicking on various parts of the house as a character, Edith Finch, narrates her own experience of finding out the family history. As she finds things out so does the player. There’s also a sense that the viewpoint character is a member of the family themselves. There are also some puzzle type events, but mostly the game guides you through the house automatically by only triggering narration when you click the correct thing.
I think this was a good balance of just clicking around and also having some interaction through the events. Personally I’m not great at action type sequences so I prefer story based games, and I think this is very much a story based games. The events are mostly to add some challenge to the story as the rest is mostly reading and watching.
In terms of messages, as I mentioned the game is about grief and how death affects this family. Because family members keep facing one tragedy after another, they become convinced that there is a curse in the Finch family, and there is discussion as to whether their latent fear of a curse is what perpetuates the misfortune itself, or if a different attitude might at least offset some of it. At the same time, it’s hard to argue that their luck isn’t unusually bad. Another important theme is that the narrator Edith’s mother tries to shelter her children from the family by moving, not sharing the family history, and even by sealing off the rooms of family members that have departed. Upon discovering the family’s stories Edith’s resentment is accompanied by an understanding of how much grief her mother was trying to protect her from, but also motivation to tell her own child what she knows in the form of the game’s narration as she reveals partly through the game that she is narrating while pregnant. Overall I think it’s a game whose message will hit differently for everyone since it can be very personal, but I think at the very least it provokes some thought about how such family matters should be handled and offers some perspective into the different opinions on the matter. But it really gets heavy, I cried for real.

The game I chose is Sid Meier’s Civilization V. It is a strategy game that you can choose one civilization in history and develop your civilization to win the competition with other players. There are several ways to win the game. Through technology means you need to be the first one to launch rockets to explore the space; through culture means to use your international cultural influence to beat other civilizations’ domestic cultural influence; through wars means to occupy all other civilizations’ capital city; through diploma means to be elected to be world leader. The reason why I pick this game is I have been playing this game for more than six years but I can still learn from it. For example your capital city is founded on a small island with only a few resources to develop. You have to find new habitats, which means to fight on the land belong to the other player. It teaches me a lot about global politics, and the way to look at our history.
The game is complex, I will try my best to explain here. There are several key elements that matters. Population, this decides how many people you have in the city, it influences the developing speed of your technology and the productivity of your city. Population is always the larger the better, the growth rate of your population is related to where your city is founded. Is there river nearby, is there place to be improved to be farmland? Money, as simple as it sounds like, money can buy buildings and maintain all daily expense of your worker and army. Cultural influence, more cultural influence can result in a faster rate of policy making. Different policy will bring different benefits for your development. Production, city is the center of manufacture, so all the buildings and army unit will be built in city. A larger production value means your city can build things faster. Technology, it influence the development of your technology. The advanced technology always means you will have better army, better buildings inside city. Those key elements all need to be well balanced. And you should not just focus on your own development, you need to keep an eye on other players to prevent they have too many accumulated advantages to win the game.
It is complex but it also keeps you busy during playing the game. You have so many things to consider, and make the best decision for your civilization. It is a great experience since you are watching your civilization growing step by step. It is like you are creating history. Play this game is like writing a story, you have basic setting (civilization, capital city, neighbor civilizations, and mechanics of the game). It is like a story just finished ACT I, all you need to write is the most excited ACT II. You can be a tyrant to conquer everything, or you can avoid wars at all. It is your choice where your civilization will be going.
History is reality, and what we are doing and thinking will become history one day. I have been playing this game for six years and more than one thousand hour playing time. The excellent mechanics is one reason, but I think what obsessed me most, is the curiosity of what made we stand where we are, and where will we be headed to in the coming future.

I played a level of Candy Crush on my iPhone. The earlier levels are easier, and each level gets increasingly more challenging. Basically, you have to “swap” the candies on the screen to make at least 3 in a row or column, but you can also get 4 or 5 in a row or column depending on the game board. In more difficult levels, you may have to “crush” the candies that have a gel-like coating or bars over them, and that requires more attempts in the same area in order to make a match. It is a little difficult to explain, but I am sure many of you are familiar with it. It is a single-player game, but each week you can compete against other players to win a chest of prizes by completing more levels, more quickly than your competitors. I feel like the message of the game is very simple, but not always easy to achieve. At the beginning of each level, it explicitly tells you the goal, shows you your progress along the way, and shows you how many moves, or “swipes” to make matches you have left during each game. I feel this game is very addicting and to me, a stress reliever, which is why I play it so often. It is also not a very long game, maybe a few minutes at most, so I can play it before classes, in the car, on the bus, walking around, etc.

I played the Sims and I have enjoyed playing it for over a decade now. I own sims 2,3 and 4. For those who don’t know, the sims are a series of life simulation games created by EA where users can control and customize their “sims” and pursue any career or relationship goals. When you start the game, you get to create a virtual world and fill it up with people. This is a single-player game although I do know that you can create an online account where players can be friends if they choose and exchange players, items, and even virtual worlds. My favorite thing to do on the sims is to create a house and interior design it. It’s like watching the HGTV channel and having the ability to create your own home for free! The game is so relaxing, it’s probably my way of escaping my own reality in some way, since I have the ability to completely control a virtual character that I created and make decisions I probably would not make in real life. I also like the creative aspect of the game. I like to design and create things and there are a lot of tools available on the sims that allow me to do that. You can also add extensions to the game that allow you to have more options to choose from when creating the game. This also makes the game addicting because once the game starts to get boring you can just add different features and then you’re hooked again.

I decided to play League of Legends, which is an online game played on the computer. Basically, there are two sides, and each side has five players, each playing a certain “champion.” The playing field is a large board that has towers, and the objective of the game is to destroy the towers and get to the enemy’s base (Nexus). I selected this game because I am very familiar with it, and it is usually the game I turn to when I need to destress. The game is multiplayer, and each champion has their own set of moves (abilities) that allow them to fight in certain ways. In addition, each player on the team is assigned a different role to play. Having different champions all interacting in the multiplayer environment definitely impacts my playing experience, because you have to start thinking as a team and playing to your advantages. Interacting with real people creates higher stakes, because you know that other people are watching and depending on you. This also means, unfortunately, that teammates can get mad at each other when teammates are not fulfilling their duty, which I guess would negatively impact the playing experience. In addition, it might sound kind of weird, but you develop a sort of connection with the character that you play, which makes the game more immersive and replayable. The fact that you can play many different champions in different roles, all with different abilities, also adds a feeling of excitement because every game is different and unknown.
If I were to treat League like a text, I would say that it has three different sections, or acts. In the beginning, you don’t have any money and can only learn one move, so you have to earn money and level up by yourself by “farming” small minions. In the game itself, this is called the laning phase, where you are for the most part on your own, trying to level up and put yourself at an advantage over your opponent. This feels like the start of a journey, or the start of a story. The second stage of the game is when team fighting starts to come into play, and you have to work as a team to start focusing on objectives. The multiple expositions for each character come together, in a sense, and begin interacting with each other and forming one larger story. The final stage of the game is when you break into the enemy base, at which point any given fight can result in the game ending. The stakes are much higher now as the game reaches its conclusion, similar to the final act of a story. Through these acts, what players realize is that even though they may be ahead in terms of gold and levels, they still might lose if their communication is poor. Just because one team is more skilled than the other does not mean that they will win. Also, being able to adapt and respond to game conditions is very important. If there is a champion that does a lot of magic damage, you can buy items with magic resist.

The game I played was League of Legends (LOL for abbreviation). It is a super popular and enduring online competitive game in China and I think that is the reason why I play it. It is the first multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game I ever played, and it is the game that I have spent the most time playing. From my second year of high school to the second half of my first year of college, I would play over 10 ranked matches almost every day. (I will explain later what a ranked match is). This game has accompanied me through half of my youth, and that is the reason why I selected this game.

Typically, LoL has three game modes: Summoner’s Rift, ARAM and TFT. I believe TFT does not belong to MOBA, it is more like a chess game, so here, I will not introduce it. In the Summoner’s Rift and ARAM modes, you will choose one of over a hundred playable characters (also known as “champions”) and work with four other teammates to defeat the opposing team of five players. In the game, each champion has four abilities, and by leveling up, you can strengthen or learn one of these abilities. The game is divided into the top lane, middle lane, bottom lane, and jungle. You and your four teammates will be assigned to a specific lane. Each lane will have minions that periodically spawn and march towards the enemy team, by killing these minions and monsters you will earn gold and experience. The gold can be used to purchase items that will make you stronger. There are three defensive towers in each lane, if you can destroy them, the next objective is the inhibitors which will be vulnerable to attack. When you destroyed the inhibitors, you will be able to attack the nexus and by destroying the nexus you win the game. The Summoner’s Rift also has two modes, matchmaking and ranking. In matchmaking, whether you win or lose, you will not gain or lose anything. However, in ranking mode, there are points to be gained and lost. These points reset at the end of each season. Winning earns you points, losing deducts points. These points are reflected by ranks, and every 100 points earned will promote you to the next rank. The ranks from lowest to highest are Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond. These ranks also have divisions, such as Bronze IV, Bronze III, Bronze II, Bronze I. Each division requires 100 points to be promoted. After Diamond, you are considered a Master. There is no limit to the number of Masters on each server. After reaching 200 points, you will be promoted to Grandmaster. However, each server only allows 300 Grandmasters, so if there are more than 300 players above 200 points, the threshold for promotion will be higher. The next rank is Challenger, it requires 500 points. Similar to Grandmaster, if there are more than 200 players above 500 points, the threshold for promotion will be higher.‘

So, the ranking score represents how well you perform in the game. I think the ranking mechanism is the reason why this game is so popular worldwide and the ranking mechanism will directly affect everyone’s game experience. Everyone plays ranking mode to win. So when choosing champions, we all choose the ones we are most skilled with to ensure the highest chance of winning the game. Many people, including myself, only play one or a few heroes since first time playing this game (of course, they know the skills of other heroes, they just don’t want to play them). So I think this is also a negative impact of ranking scores on me, that is, not willing to explore the interesting aspects of other champions and only focus on winning or losing the game. In addition, when it comes to the experience, I have to say that most players, in order to win the game, will communicate politely with their teammates. But there are some players with poor manners, once their own game is not going well, they will start to blame their teammates, even insulting their teammates.and the game’s implicit messages could be perseverance and determination. Players may face defeat in the game, but they have the ability to learn from their mistakes and come back stronger. Thus, the hidden agenda could be “emphasis on winning can foster a competitive and toxic environment among players.” This can lead to players becoming fixated on winning and losing, rather than enjoying the game. and the game’s implicit messages could be perseverance and determination. Players may face defeat in the game, but they have the ability to learn from their mistakes and come back stronger.

The game that I played this week is Persona 5 Royal, which is the Nintendo Switch port of the original game published in 2016 for Playstation consoles. The game is a mostly single player game with co-op aspects. The game takes place in modern Tokyo, and follows the lives of high school students who obtain special powers called “personas”. They form a group called the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, and explore palaces in the Metaverse which is a supernatural realm formed by one’s desires. I decided to continue playing the game as I was gifted a Nintendo Switch during the holidays and I was a big fan of the main protagonist in the game, Amamiya Ren. I only have about 10 hours of playtime so I do not know the entire story of what happens, but the game has successfully hooked me in so far. The game’s story is intricately written, and in-game features help immersion and also give a bit of freedom and leniency in gameplay. The game follows a calendar like format, where players go through each day, and there are story deadlines within the calendar, which gives a lot of freedom on pacing. For example, the game gives a period of 2 weeks before a certain palace must be conquered, or else it will be game over. However, the 2 weeks can be spent in any way the player wants. The main task is usually to conquer palaces of the villains in the Metaverse before a deadline (for example, the expulsion of the Phantom Thieves is on the line for the first deadline). As long as this deadline is met, players are free to spend each day going out with the protagonist’s friends, working part-time, or doing various activities to increase the main character’s various stats (intelligence, charm, etc). Palace exploration is when the actual action takes place. Palaces are basically dungeons that manifest from the villain’s desires, and players must fully explore the maze and steal the treasure to get rid of the villain’s desires in the real world. For example, the first villain, Kamoshida, is a perverted PE teacher who preys on the students of the volleyball team, treating them as underlings and acting like he is the king.

As someone who is invested into story-heavy games, I enjoyed the immersion that the game provides. The game’s OST consists of jazz heavy music, which goes along with the stylish art style of the game. This is a trait of the Persona series as a whole, and the graphics give off a distinct vibe and engraves to the players that this is a Persona game. It is also fully dubbed, which adds heavily to the immersion. One of the interesting parts about Persona 5 is that the villains they address in the game connect to social issues present in society. For example, the first villain Kamoshida addresses sexism and school violence. Also, relating to the psychological term persona itself, the game’s main theme relates back to freedom, justice, and rebellion. The personas that the main characters use are significant to their characterization, and the game implicitly connects these traits to the social issues in present day Japan. I can’t wait to see the rest of the story that the game has for me to enjoy and I look back to playing some more of the game this weekend.

The game that I chose to play was, animal crossing. I decided to play this game because it is very calm and a good way to wind down after a long day. This is a single player game, although it is possible to meet up with other players online as well. In this instance I preferred that it was primarily a single player game because I wanted to play something on my own, and you can choose if you want to meet up with other players. There are times when I want to play games with other people and in that instance I would choose something else. To explain the game, basically you are sent to an uninhabited island and you have to complete tasks such as cutting down trees or harvesting fruit in order to make some money. After you have made money you have the opportunity to make your island better and customize it with homes and shops. I have not played this game in a long time because after a while it becomes very repetitive since they have not updated it in a while or added new features. This game is very upfront and does not really have any hidden messages or meanings. It is more of a feel happy game that does not require much work. In general I like this game when I am trying to relax after a long day or when I am not trying to play a game that requires much thinking. However I hope that in the future there will be an update because it is becoming quite unvaried.

I played a game called Pokemon GO, which is a mobile game available on the App Store. This game is a very unique game as it implements an augmented reality and combines it with adding Pokemon in our world. This game allows the player to catch pokemon as they go about their day as if they were spawning in the world around us. In this game, a player must walk around and wait for a pokemon to spawn around them on the screen. When a pokemon spawns on the screen, the player can tap on a pokemon and have an opportunity to catch the pokemon with their pokeballs and berries which can be obtained through Pokestops while walking around, or through various missions and quests offered. There are many other features that this game has such as gyms, raids, and battles that give the game another dimension. As for mechanics, players must continue to catch pokemon, complete missions, and participate in events to accumulate XP. The user interface is very friendly as there are not many menus and easy to navigate for almost any player. While the player is able to catch the pokemon that they love, there is also a combat power factor to each pokemon with move and appraisal attributes that determine its strength. These factors allow players to compete with one another and give incentive for further progression in the game itself. Although this game can be seen as a single player game with its traditional pokemon catching features, the multiplayer features enhance the user experience through intense battles, trading, and motivates people to level up and become even stronger. I selected this game because I personally play this game a lot during my free time. What makes this game special is that it’s not the typical game that people play. This game allows me to connect with my friends, go on adventures both in game and in real life, and promotes a very positive message.

These game mechanics have motivated me to continue playing, and become stronger. Having other friends that play the game also encourages me to become more involved with the game, making my overall experience more enjoyable. The possible adventures and places that I can go while playing this game is limitless and I love how there are mechanics such as eggs that require walking to hatch. I also have spent a good amount of my childhood playing pokemon, so having the ability to catch the pokemon I love with the device in my pocket has piqued my interest. In my experience, I battled my friends, caught pokemon while walking on Livingston campus and fought raids with my friends.

Looking through the surface of just the gameplay itself, I think this game has a hidden agenda in promoting exercise. Usually, people who play games tend to stay indoors and do not promote any sort of physical activity. In Pokemon GO, the mechanics of having pokemon spawn in, hatching eggs, going to Pokestops that have known landmarks attached to them, and fighting gyms all require getting up out of your seat and going outside to play the game. The game experience is much more lackluster when the player does not perform some sort of physical activity. So overall I really enjoy the hidden message that this game has as it has made me exercise much more and motivated me to go out on adventures instead of staying in all day. Finally, looking at the game as a whole, I believe that Pokemon GO is a very popular game due to it being such a large franchise as well as its multiplayer features and player friendly design.

The game I chose to play is called Block Puzzle. This game is an online game that you can download from the app store for free and play on your phone. In this game, you start with a blank square grid and are given 3 different block shapes at a time that you are to fit onto the grid and once you complete a vertical or horizontal line it disappears and you gain points. The point of the game is to go as long as you can clearing lines until you run out of space on the grid and thus the game is over. I find it very addicted and stimulating for my brain as you have to use strategy and consider every choice you make as to where to put the blocks in order to ensure elimination of a line in order to avoid taking up all the space on the grid. I selected this game as I enjoy games that are very straightforward and consistent. I don’t enjoy games that require lots of different aspects and objectives but rather one simple goal which exactly what this game is. I also enjoy that I’m competing with myself in a sense that each time I play I have to beat my own high score which honestly what makes it so addicting as I keep going back and wanting to do better each time. I feel as though this game is a very calming escape where I can just enjoy myself and decompress while I focus on one specific action in the game. Some game such as video games are high stress and exciting while games like this are calming while still being fun which I enjoy.

The game that I recently played is Bloodborne, which came out in 2015 and was developed by Japanese game development, “FromSoftware.” I played this game because I heard it was very popular, even to this day, and it was also considered the most challenging RPG game compared to dark souls. I also had an interest in playing this game because I loved horror movies, and I wanted to try something where I would play an RPG game about horror and survival. The game is a survival horror and RPG game, a spin-off from Dark Souls; however, you’re trying to survive in a pandemic filled with enemies in different locations. The game is single-player and multiplayer if you’re playing online. When online, you can call on players that will help you survive in a Victorian-era-styled city known as Yharnam.
The start screen of the game gives the option of whether you want to play online or offline. I decided to play offline because I wanted to focus on the game without disturbances from the network or other online players. I then had to create my character, my hunter, where I could provide my character their name, age, gender, skin color, body type, and appearance. The only issue I had with the character customization was they had limited options for creating a Black character where they had no black hair types, such as braids, locs, or afros of all things. Most of the hairstyles were only straight hairstyles suitable for any race of the character, except for my black character. It gets even better. They even had limited options in face templates that would suit my black personality, whereas many face templates have European looks. In this case, I decided to create black female a character and manipulate the appearance of the face to shrug off this issue. The game also allows you to create a backstory for the character. Once I’m finished creating my character, I will finalize everything to start the game. The game cuts into a scene where my unconscious character is greeted by a mysterious older man when suddenly a beastly wolf crashes into the room, causing the man to attack the beastly wolf to protect me. I then gained consciousness and was in a very dark room, which appeared to be a gothic church. The game provided tutorials on what items I should be looking for. The game’s scenery was in the third person; I could see the whole body of my character. The game’s design was intense and creepy, so I was conscious of where to go. The room I was in had two doors, one in the back and the other in the front. I went to the one in the front, where I was approached by demons/ghouls on the ground that would provide me with tutorials during the journey. As I make my way to the gothic church, I come across the same beastly wolf from before. At first, I was very hesitant because of its appearance with its long arms and legs, along with the gleaming white eyes. However, I took no chances and decided to go for the attack on the beast. Unfortunately, the wolf ended up killing me, and I was transferred into another world. I was provided with weapons, advice, and tutorials from the ghouls and demons. It wasn’t very clear because I didn’t know where I was at. The place was very bright and seemed more peaceful as if I was in the Garden of Eden compared to the area where I was. It even had a store where I could purchase items, weapons, and clothing. Once I had all the things I needed, I could return to the checkpoint where the beast killed me. After returning to the gothic church, I made my fight the beast in which I made ten attempts to defeat the beast. On the tenth attempt, I killed by delivering a heavy attack behind the enemy and striking the final blow when it dazed. I then made my way out of the gothic church, where I was at a gothic architectural town known as “Yharman.” The city looks vacant and destroyed, as if a pandemic had caused chaos. As I continued my journey in the city, I was approached by enemies from different locations in which I was forced to defend myself, so I won’t die and begin at my checkpoint. The game is intense because it requires navigation in collecting valuable items to strengthen your character in defeating enemies. The game also requires critical thinking about how you beat different types of enemies that may require certain weapons, items, and choices of defeating an enemy, whether it’s fighting or fleeing from your enemy. However, I recommend anyone who’s into RPG and horror games to play this game.

The game I have been addicted to recently is Overwatch. Overwatch is an fps game that is made up of two teams of five. There are a plethora of characters to choose from, who all do different things. The objective of the game is to eliminate all of the other players so you can take an objective in a timely manner. This is a multiplayer game and it is more fun when you are playing with friends and not random people. Overwatch is probably one of the most challenging games that I have played mechanics-wise. Since there are so many characters you have to learn each and every one of them and what they are. do. They all have different patterns of movement and abilities so it can be confusing. The mechanics of this game make it more interesting because it does not limit you to a small group of characters that have limited movement. Finally, there are plenty of hidden agendas in this game. The game is free to play, which gives them the. ability to charge whatever amount they would like in the shops. Which in my opinion is a rip-off, because those items were once free.

I played Subway Surfers, which is a mobile game in which you are running away from a policeman. I chose that game because it was a past favorite of mine that I had not played in a while, and I was feeling nostalgic. It is a single player game that does not require any controller or complicated game mechanics. One just needs a touchscreen device that, where they would only need to tap and swipe the screen to be able to play. As a result, it was easy for me to pick up again, and one that beginners would also be able to pick up relatively quickly.

The game’s hidden agenda is to get its player to continue playing. The premise is very simple, and the endless nature of the objective to “get away” enables players to just keep on going. In addition, the incentives of missions, items, and the leaderboard also lended to this agenda to keep the player engaged.

I find it interesting that the exciting point about games like these is the adrenaline rush of not wanting to get caught but also enjoying flirting with danger, such as narrowly missing hitting an obstruction but succeeding in gaining an item. The sudden cut of this enjoyment when one loses is what makes people automatically click to start a new game.

I played Candy Crush. The game is played on aa mobile device and consists of you matching colors of candy. I picked this game because it is something that I play almost everyday whenever I have free time. It is a single-player game. The mechanics aren’t difficult. Just involves swiping the screen to match the colors. There are a lot of powerups available to use as well, and those just come by also tapping on the screen to select it. These mechanics make it very easy to play the game and makes my experience relaxing. I can play it laying down in bed, which is exactly what I did. The individual game had an implicit message. The goal was to clear all the gellies, and those gellies disappear by simply crushing the candy to make the gel pop. However, the main goal overall is to collect candy orders specific to the game.

Sometimes, I question if every level is passable. The games can get very challenging at times and I wonder if there’s a specific pattern you have to crush the candy in order to pass the level. Also, after you pop one candy, other ones come down to replace it, so I also wonder if those are random or set colors that get picked.

The game I played was Solitaire Clash in which one will move all cards to the foundations in ascending order, beginning with the Ace and ending with the King. The game is timed for five minutes and one can earn gems and or money depending on which game selection you chose. I selected this game because I enjoy to play this in my spare time. The game is played single but is multiplayer in getting the prize pool, which is accessed after watching a 30 second advertisement. My experience is focused attempting to get a high score to win the highest number offered for the prize pool. The game’s hidden agenda is to have its user use their credit cards to add money to play for bigger money prize pool. Another analyzation is that the more time left on the clock is added to your score for that game.

The game I decided to play was Valorant. Valorant is a multiplayer first-person shooting game involving five players going against another team of five players. Each player can pick a specific agent that has their own abilities and characteristics. I selected that game because a lot of my friends play it and I really enjoy the game mechanics. The game is fun to play and I like competitive games. The multiplayer mechanic of the game has had a positive impact on my experience of the game because I love to play with my friends and I think a game where you can all come t together and have fun is what I like to do. The hidden agenda is to motivate players to become as good as they can and improve in rank and ability. The end goal of each competitive game is to win the match and then continue winning to become a higher rank and hopefully one day become good enough to hit the highest rank. I really enjoy this game and all of the different abilities each agent has and how you can utilize each ability to help win the game. Each agent is different and each person plays each agent differently and some people play more aggressively, while others play more passively and I love to see the variations in gameplay between players.

The game I decided to play was Mario kart wii, one of my all time favorite games. I selected this game because I have very fond memories playing it as a child, and it found a special place in my heart. The game can be played in single-player or multiplayer mode, with a single player cup consisting of four races, each race taking three laps to complete. The game involves different items you can get to take other races down, different tricks you could pull off to gain speed, and different characters you can unlock. While playing a race, you can effectively be moved from 1st to last place based on what items you get hit with, and the tricks help you gain necessary speed that could be the deciding factor in winning races. What’s so great about the game is the factor of chance: you never know if you’re going to get horrible item luck, or have great luck and easily win your races. This is what makes the game so fun, and so replayable.
