Quotes (from this video)
  • Walking in Kamogawa. This is actually this is like a must buy for me.
  • This is supposed to be a fast and confrontational gangster game that is played across like a changing city map.
  • There's no solo mode here as far as I know. So, uh, let me check again. But I think there's no solo mode. Yeah, that is like a downer.
  • But I have heard very interesting thing about this things about this game and also looks pretty cool.
  • So um, these are like eight dragons. Then the expansions for buttons and bugs which I don't play as much to be honest. Then we have mercenaries wanted Nippon Sibatu Observatory and Satchel Quest.
  • Most likely my list will be a lot different than other content creators lists. Um, and that makes sense because I am very I I'm like very focused on this niche of um playing solo games and not only that also like trying to find like the wacky less known games.
