Commented a couple. Always interesting to read your blog and discover some games I would otherwise have never heard of.

It’s time to clean up with some reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com. Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d really appreciate it. OK time to start cleaning!
Get into the Spring Cleaning spirit with PowerWash Simulator! Yeah they’ll make a game out of anything these days, won’t they? View the action in a first person shooter style perspective as you spray away dirt on vehicles, backyard patios, playgrounds, and much more!
When I first saw this game, I thought it was yet another typical match three puzzler. I even tried to download it on my iPad first since that’s where these kinds of games usually go. But for some reason it wouldn’t work on my iPad, either because my device is too old or it needed a patch or something. But luckily the publishers of this game gave me a review code for the PS4 version, and I’m glad they did because I think this particular game works better on a console, that’s how different it is! Anyway, in the game you are a regular bunny lady farmer, until one day Mother Gaia comes down and gives you the power to transform into the Princess Farmer (it’s a bit of a Sailor Moon parody, there’s even a Tuxedo Mask character). Now you are strong enough to lift five vegetables above your head, and harvest them by matching three of the same kind, even if they are underground. With your newfound strength, you must harvest vegetables around the land to solve the mysteries of the forest.
Raiden IV x MIKADO remix (PS4)
Raiden IV is a popular 2-D vertically scrolling shooter and a favorite among fans. It must be, as I’ve seen it ported to nearly every console since it’s release. Now it’s also on every current console and PC (reviewed on PS4 here). Not sure what the “x MIKADO remix” part means, but there are a lot of new modes, stages, challenges, and features, so maybe it’s one of those.
A shadowy figure sneaks into a girl’s house and steals her prize-winning pogo stick! So the girl goes after her on another pogo stick! Go! Go! Pogogirl is a 2-D platformer where you’re constantly bouncing up and down on a pogo stick. It reminds me of stuff I would’ve rented back in the SNES days, or even something you’d see on the Game Boy Color.
You are a thief who must collect all the coins in the room and exit, all the while avoiding the patrolling police officers! Tricky Thief is a puzzle action game that’s like a cross between the sliding block puzzles from Zelda dungeons, mixed with the parts of Zelda games where you have to sneak past guards.
You are a cat who has just started a delivery job. But it’s a very dangerous job because your delivery missions will take you inside 2-D dungeons, similar to the ones in Zelda games. You’ll have to solve puzzles, use tools and weapons, and defeat enemies to get paid. UnderDungeon also has a unique black and white graphics style that reminds me of games I used to play on our old Apple ][+. I think I would’ve liked this game more if it weren’t so darn hard!
Because of the widespread use of mobile phones and texting, we see and use those little yellow happy face emoji icons all the time. They even made a movie about them, and when I saw it on Netflix I watched the first five minutes of it and then stopped! And now there’s a kart racing game with those icons (available on all current consoles but reviewed on PS4 here). Does it fare better than the movie? Well, you’ll just have to read on to find out.
Fury Fight: Gangster of City (Switch)
Fury Fight is a minimalist side scrolling beat ‘em up for Nintendo Switch. Choose between four characters and tackle dozens of short stages beating up thugs on city streets. This and the previous game are probably two of the worst games I’ve played this year so far.
OK everything is nice and spic and span and shiny now. Thanks for reading my reviews and posting ‘likes’ and comments. I do appreciate it. Later! --Cary
