There's a surprising amount of content for an amateur game, but presumably most of it is vibe coded and AI slop. This looks and feels like a garbage GPT LLM disaster, which would explain why it failed on Steam Direct. Nobody likes AI slop. What do you do in the game? Wade through AI slop, do basic RPG stuff, click through badly written GPT slop, play some "Go" minigames, uninstall because you deserve better than AI slop. This looks a lot like it was designed for consoles, but released on Steam instead by mistake. While this is on PC, it has all the hallmarks and deficiencies of a console game, from the clunkier than needed control scheme to the less than cutting edge graphics. There's 10's of thousands of PC games on Steam, and PC gamers deserve only the best. This might not appeal to many gamers due to the lack of PC-centric design. It's unclear why this never made it to the video game console app…

It's cute, it's free, and we could really use some more American Go players. If you have even a passing interest in Go, download this game and give it a try. I'm not a beginner player, so I can't say how easy it is for a completely new player to pick up on the tutorials. However, to me, it seems pretty slow and simple, and it has a review function so if you don't understand why something isn't working, after a battle, it can show you.

Pudding Fantasy: Tales of Go and Magic is one of the more unusual RPGs I have played because it combines a cute fantasy adventure with the ancient board game Go. I honestly did not know what to expect from that combination, but I ended up liking how naturally the two ideas are connected. Instead of treating Go as a completely separate mini game, the adventure is designed to teach me the basics while I travel through the world and deal with monsters. The main gameplay revolves around learning Go through battles and lessons. I start with the basic rules and gradually get introduced to more ideas as I progress, which makes the game approachable even when I have little experience with Go. I liked this approach because the RPG structure gives me a reason to keep learning. I am not simply reading a tutorial and hoping to remember it later. I am actually using what I have learned as part of the adventure. The fantasy RPG side gives the experience much more personality than a straightforward Go tutorial. I play as Buchi, who sets out after the Demon King causes trouble in the kingdom and steals the ingredients needed by his family's pudding factory. The story is deliberately silly, with …

basic problems in a basic unity rpg but it's kinda fun honestly
