The review

Top-down satire of a friendly empire. The joke is the propaganda.

Helldivers makes a fight feel like a skill, because it is one. It is not for a child. If it is in the house, it is after the day is done, and it does not get to teach that a person is a target.

Journal

Keep Helldivers in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 44. Yours can differ.

Household and Piety and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Resogun

56 instead of 44

Resogun is still a shoot game, and it scores 56 instead of 44. What you gain is temperance: Resogun is most honest when the failure is allowed to stand.

The eight

  1. 5
    Industry

    The fighting in Helldivers is a craft. Pretending otherwise is how it sneaks in.

  2. 3
    Household

    Houses exist in it mostly as things to lose or to leave.

  3. 4
    Piety

    No prayer that matters. A cause, sometimes, and often only a flag.

  4. 7
    Courage

    Standing the ground is the courage Helldivers knows how to stage.

  5. 5
    Republic

    A war is a public event. Helldivers sometimes remembers the public.

  6. 2
    Temperance

    The spectacle is the appetite. One mission is enough to see it.

  7. 6
    Truth

    Helldivers is truest when the enemy is allowed to have had a reason.

  8. 3
    Stewardship

    What it leaves is a reflex. Notice the reflex before it leaves the room.

Live historically

Do not play this where a child can see the screen, and do not play it as a way to come down from a hard day.

The review

A well of animals and secrets. No combat. Attention is the whole virtue. Remarkable.

Animal Well respects your mind. That is rare and worth keeping. It will not make you kind by itself. Finish a puzzle and then feed somebody.

Dave the Diver

56 instead of 44

Dave the Diver is still a adventure game, and it scores 56 instead of 44. What you gain is household: A household can share Dave the Diver.

The eight

  1. 7
    Industry

    The puzzle in Animal Well is the work, and the work is the pleasure.

  2. 2
    Household

    No household required. A quiet room helps.

  3. 2
    Piety

    Attention is the reverence.

  4. 3
    Courage

    Staying with a problem you do not yet see is the courage.

  5. 3
    Republic

    No public but the one you return to when you stand up.

  6. 6
    Temperance

    Animal Well does not nag you with a prize. That restraint is a virtue.

  7. 8
    Truth

    A solution either works or it does not. The game will not flatter you.

  8. 4
    Stewardship

    You keep the habit of looking. That is what it hands you.

Finish one problem. Do not open the next until you have been a person in the house again.

For this house

Keep going

The next title is the one nearest what this house keeps, then the measure where it is thin. Nothing here is a crowd. It does not leave this device.
