Felix “It Is Your Destiny” Threepaper
Welcome folks, and happy “148th anniversary of the introduction of Lacrosse” week!
On 3 June 1876, a British team of tennis players challenged a Canadian team of hockey players. While they argued about which game to play to settle things, a little girl said “Why not both?" And Lacrosse was born. Probably—Google sucks now. You may all celebrate by playing a game that doesn’t make sense.
After the smorgbasboard of May, June starts with a slight lull, unless you’re a Destiny 2 fan.
Destiny 2: The Final Shape is the grand finale to Destiny’s decade-long Light and Darkness saga. While this expansion ends the story, it’s not the end of Destiny 2: Bungie has already announced a production line of episodes to keep folks coming back every 3 months. Every time a new expansion comes out for a live-service game, so does the old marketing phrase “there’s never been a better time”.
Speaking of 10-year-old games dropping regular chunks to keep players around, The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road has nods to Oblivion, a possible teaser for The Elder Scrolls 6 and a new scribing system that allows you to customise some of your skills.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game is based on a cult classic horror movie from 1988 that I’d never heard of, and I was around in 1988. The gameplay is similar to many asymmetrical multiplayer horror games: one person is the evil clown chasing the squishy humans, who have to collect things and co-operate to escape.
Rolling Hills: Make Sushi, Make Friends is this week’s cosy game. This time, your trade is making sushi for the village you are new in. Making the best sushi involves sourcing the best ingredients, which means befriending your whole supply chain and then serving food back to them at a massive profit. When will your newfound friends realise that your wealth is at their expense, and will they bring pitchforks?
I’m still nomming on XCOM-alikes from May, so I will give the GOTW to Destiny 2: The Final Shape even though I know nothing about Destiny. It makes for a nice header image, though. I do like the way Darth Vader says ‘Destiny’, too. Really sustains the ‘Y’. Good times.
GWJ Word of the Week
Cosy game: a life simulator where you usually start out new in a village with nothing, but by performing a roster of chores that would be back-breaking in real life, and the level of accounting and inventory management that befits a small business with around 20 employees, you can eventually afford furniture. You also have to befriend everyone in town and probably do fishing minigames. Many people find these games super relaxing.
