One of the most highly acclaimed games of the year has to be UFO 50, an indie compilation that has captivated gamers everywhere. As a reader, I can confidently say that this game is a must-play for everyone. However, I also understand that there may be some disagreements on which games within the compilation are the best. Allow me to explain why UFO 50 is such an amazing creation and why it's impossible for everyone to agree on the top games within it.
First and foremost, UFO 50 was a collaborative effort by Derek Yu and his childhood friend Jon Perry, along with a team of incredibly talented game developers. After being announced in 2017, the game was finally released last month and I must say, the anticipation was well worth it. This collection features 50 complete 8-bit style games, each with hours of gameplay. Personally, I have already spent 27 hours on this game and have completed six games, but have yet to achieve 100% completion on any of them. There is just so much content to explore and I have a feeling that I will be playing this game for many more months to come. So, let me share with you some of my personal favorites from UFO 50.
One game that really stands out to me is Party House. In this game, you are responsible for throwing the ultimate house party. However, you must carefully select your guests to ensure they contribute positively to the party and don't attract any unwanted attention from the police. This may seem like a simple concept, but it is executed flawlessly in the game. The real challenge comes in the form of managing your budget and deciding which guests to invite, as each one has their own unique abilities and costs popularity points to add to your roster. As you expand your house and gain popularity, the game becomes even more enjoyable as you use your guests' abilities to your advantage.
Another game that I absolutely love is Camouflage, a puzzle game where you play as a chameleon trying to escape from predators using the power of camouflage. This game is forgiving, allowing you to go back to your previous move when you die. The puzzles may not be too difficult, but they definitely make you feel smart as you navigate through levels with stationary and patrolling enemies.
Then there's Bushido Ball, a samurai-themed fighting game that is essentially a modern version of Pong. With six playable characters, each with their own unique abilities and stats, this game is surprisingly addictive. I found myself constantly saying "just one more go" until I had spent over two hours playing and finally beat the tournament.
Quibble Race is perhaps the most bizarre game in the compilation, but it's also one of my favorites. In this game, you must make the most money by betting on quibble races, using any means necessary. This includes bribing characters, drugging or even poisoning the quibbles. The best part is that you can also sponsor quibbles, adding even more excitement to the races. It may sound twisted, but it's incredibly entertaining and offers a unique gaming experience.
Lastly, I have to mention Devilition, a game where you must use randomly-assigned characters to create a chain reaction on a 10x10 board to defeat invading devils. This game requires strategic thinking and is immensely satisfying to watch as your creation destroys everything in sight.
There are many more fantastic games within the compilation that I haven't even mentioned, but the best thing about UFO 50 is that everyone has a different experience and their own top picks. By the time I reach 50 hours of gameplay, my list of favorites may have completely changed. That's the magic of this game - it offers something for everyone and allows for individual preferences and experiences to shape the overall enjoyment of the game.
In conclusion, I highly recommend playing UFO 50 for yourself and discovering your own personal favorites. It's impossible for everyone to agree on which games are the best because each one offers a unique and enjoyable experience. And who knows, maybe after playing for 50 hours, your top five games may be completely different from mine. So, go ahead and immerse yourself in the world of UFO 50, you won't regret it.
