AAA

  Sorry, the title isn't supposed to be a scream, like AAA, or WAA, it's supposed to be more of like the first in the alphabetical list AAA, AAB, AAC, etc. etc.

  Naming things is tedious, so for today I'll just go with an AAA, and the next time I can't seem to name something, I'll go with AAB, then AAC, then.... all the way till ZZZ, which is the noise you'll be making by the time I reach that point. 

  Lately I've been playing lots of Dota Auto Chess. It has chess in the title but the only similiar thing  I guess is that it's played on a 8x8 board. The rest has a different strategy element in it.

1. You buy pieces rather than pieces being already there.
2. Different pieces have different abilities, and some have synergy.
3. You then get to place where you want the piece be on the board.

  Ideally you want tanks in front and your damage guys behind your tanks, but some pieces (assassins) have the ability to just jump past your front line and demolish your mages, so that's no good for you, so you're always adapting (or should be, but its costly to adapt so I just take the lost and move on). 

  The game is turn based (my favourite), which also means I get to do many things while playing. You only get to control during the buying and placement phase, when the game starts that's when the auto kicks in. 

  Now onto the star game I'm playing:

A HAT IN TIME

  A Hat in Time is a platforming game where you play as hat kid. You run around worlds collecting collectables. You get to change your hat for different powers. An example for the picture above, I was wearing a sprint hat, which allows me to sprint. But I'm also wearing a scooter badge, which upgrades my run into summoning a scooter!

  Man, this game is just pure joy. The characters are super fun, and gameplay is super fun, the world we're in is super fun, and the music is gosh darn amazing. The music really brings out the atmosphere of whatever level we're in, and sometimes... I feel like it did too good of a job... I'm currently stuck on this one mission due to how anxiety inducing it is: It can be summarized in this short 25s clip.

 

 Either way, this game is just a ball of fun. My only complain is that they gated the dance emote behind a DLC. I was so disappointed when I realised I can't do the dance emote. Apparently she dances to the beat of whatever music is currently playing, so that makes it so much more cooler. Kinda regretted not getting the DLC during the sale now ;___;

  Here are some pictures of this amazing game!

  This is the game pretty much on its lowest setting and its still beautiful. That being said, I did google gameplay videos only just to see what it looks like on ULTRA setting and boy I am missing out on all the shadows. 

  Also, there's this annoying nitpick:
