Quick Thoughts: Butcher

I have picked up a handful of more indie games on the Switch.  This past week was Golf Story and Butcher...  i think its called Butcher, or is it Brutal?  Looks like it is Butcher.  I started Golf Story, but I wasn't in the mood for a story-heavy game, so I moved onto Butcher.

You know what, I am having a hard time trying to talk about this game.  You may as well just look at the review that I linked above.  If you do not, here is the elevator pitch.   it is classic DOOM by way of Abuse.  I have been having a blast. It's a hard game(they tout that the easiest mode is Hard), but I think it's fair enough that I don't get too pissed off when I die.  The levels are fairly short and do not feature checkpoints.  I have been needing to run each level multiple times before I finally get to the exit.  Each time getting a little closer to the exit.  The lack of checkpoints end up sucking most when you are running a level for the 10th time and die just before the exit...

Whatever, I am starting to ramble.  I like the game and recommend it.  I've had a few blog ideas over the past few days, but my mind has been such a jumble that I have to scrap them.  I am assuming that it is a preocupation of my mind getting ready for a child.

I've had this on my Steam Wish List for a LONG time, and I'm quite pleased it's for Switch now.  I'll probably pick it up.

Is this part of a trilogy with the games Baker and Candlestick Maker? Tongue Out

LOL, In Baker you throw pies and cookies at your enemies, finding bigger, more powerful pies as you progress. In Candlestick Maker you get burned a lot.

Looks like what armageddon will be. LoL. 

The low-fi screaming at the end is kind of hilarious, if gross at the same time. Not sure if I'm into the 2D style of it though. I was hoping for a FPS.
