Block, Love, and Ancient Greece

You are a philosopher named Epistemonos in a quest to fight a bunch of famous philosophers from the Ancient Greece and develop your own school of knowledge. The gameplay is easy and fun, you just have to connect blocks and mix their letters together in order to achieve a big combo and defeat your enemy. A remarkable feature of the game is that it is in Korean, so you are a Greek philosopher talking in Korean reading an english translation, quite comical if you ask me. Would recommend to friends and loved ones, 10/10. Ἄνθρωπος μέτρον.

"Block, Love, and Ancient Greece" is, well, a new one for me, and that's saying something after over 16,000 game reviews. This is a Korean letter/block puzzle game with some weird narrative about ancient Greece, and let me tell you, I didn't ever think Korean video games would be the first place you should go if you want to learn about ancient Greece. After playing Block, Love, and Ancient Greece, I now know I was right all along. What do you do in the game? This might as well be a mobile app... it's a very short, pointless and badly made block puzzle game (common on the app stores, out of place on Steam) with some really cringey weird narrative. And that's it. Nothing really to see here. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games. Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now. There's no excuse. You're forced to sign a highly questionable yet legally unenforceable End User License Agreement... for such a relatively low effort, low quality product, this comes across more …
