[h1]Mom, can we have Slenderman? "We have Slenderman at home, dear."[/h1] The game is, honestly, just kind of boring. You move slow and it's not immediately apparent what you should do or where to go. I managed to run off the edge of the world.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
