There was a period I played a ton of hidden object games. And there really is an absolute ton of them! I am and have always been a great fan of puzzle games, and those games usually provided some gentle puzzling between the searching, usually coupled with a cozy and sometimes spooky atmosphere. It's comfort gaming, a relaxing time, almost comparable to word searches or coloring a mandala. To me, they were a comfortable stress reliever.

9:51 the original game was called “shred downhill mountain biking” released in 2015 on steam, 2014 on mobile , and remastered is an update to the game released November 22, 2021. You can see this in the description of the game where it says this in the first sentence, and the games update history. There’s also an article written by the dev about the remake. The mixed reviews contain reviews of the original version of the game (from 2015-2021) and the remake (2021-present) so the score isn’t reflective of the version of the game shown in the video

Games like "Banana" are the same concept as NFTs were. No actual value and throwing projects out in the hope it catches a meme wave and blows up without reason. Then a few people can make some money out of the people jumping in when its already way to late before the entir thing chrases into the ground seconds later. Since steam has banned NFT games maybe they should ban this shit too.

[@JohnnyApathy]

I kept saying to my screen the entire time while you were talking about Shred "This game is just Trials. I wonder if he will mention that it is just a Trials rip off. Why isn't he mentioning that this is set up exactly like Trials? Has he never played Trials? "

[@TheBluestflamingos]

33:50 Most hidden object games are exactly like that. Visual novels with puzzles and hidden object pages to break up the passive moments. Extra Credits made a video talking about some of the intresting elements of this genre. Primarily, that it's a massive thriving area of pop culture that aims at a totally different audience than the wider video game world. Murder Mystery and Truecrime, puzzle games, and mobile games tend to be beloved by older women and brushed off by "real gamers". Tbf, with our current cozy game Renaissance, I think boarders are starting to break down, but it's still makes for an intresting tale of parallel evolution.

Lost in Tropics would have been way better and stuck out more if it leaned 300% more into the "gameshow" vibe and had some sort of survivor minigame once a week. e.g running across a beam over the water while your wobbly-ness is affected by how well fed you were when the event started, trivia game about the food/items (which one gives more water/food value when eaten)/open X coconuts in 30 secs etc etc Then give you some random reward (A Good Steel Axe/Bucket/Hammer/Lighter/Bag of Rice) Would have made it a very meme-able twitch group stream game. Also should have added 'very obviously fake audience laughter' as a death sound.

[@Interference22]

"Egglike" was already a genre: deliberately poorly made first person collect-a-thons with bizarre humour. It was coined by a Twitch streamer called Vinesauce, specifically because the collectibles in question were often eggs. Egg and the banana game are clearly just clicker games.

[@YourFavoriteSon1]

Banana-Like seems to be the proper term then. But they definitely aren't clicker games, something separate from that.

[@Interference22]

@@YourFavoriteSon1 It feels like they essentially are, just comically stripped down to their most basic mechanics. That said, "bananalike" is much a better term since it singles them out from games actually trying to do something more substantial.

Overlord really was a childhood gem for me. So when I found out, years later, that there was a 3rd game on steam I was so excited just to find out that it's not at all like the other two games. It's really weird that Overlord and Sacred, two of my childhood games, went down the same way. Releasing a good first game, releasing a 2nd game that builds upon the first and then make a arena-beat em up as a 3rd one completely disconnected from the games your playerbase knows and loves.

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

If yoiu enjoyed Shred, check out the various Trials games. Shred is VERY much a clone of them. Trials Rising is the best if your new. Trials Fusion is the newest and best one in terms of variety. Though these games start easy and basically become Dark Souls at the last few levels lol. Going from simple racing to climbing stuff like the game "Getting Over It" almost, with super vertical walls basically you have to bounce your way to the top of and other stuff. Even I can't past some of the levels.

This is becoming one of my favorite series of yours lol. You losing your sh*t over the brokenness of Battle of the Sacred Heart's souls system got me 😂 Art of Murder made me think, though; it sounds like a game that'd be better served on the App Store? Casual gamers LOVE hidden objects games (brings back Where's Waldo kind of nostalgia.) I actually have one that's a murder mystery on my phone at the moment which does give you fun story progression after you find enough stuff, and you're right about that being the main reason to keep playing it. Plus, the art is cheerful and a total rip off of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, so bonus. So many of these games seem to be like the developer version of how everyone thinks they could TOTALLY write a novel; decent ideas, no follow through.

[@melissad4056]

As someone who loves hidden object games, your analysis is pretty accurate. I like playing them to relax and wind down at the end of the day. However, this one looks pretty bad. Most of the better ones have a more comprehensive story.

The banana games and the people that play them are so dumb. I had one person randomly add me as a friend in steam, after looking at their profile which was not private, they were not a bot, but a real person. So I accepted out of curiosity. Struck up conversation. We talked for a bit, then they did a trade offer, ALL of my steam cards, which is well over a hundred cards. For one purple rare banana skin drop. Was like nah, f that, unfriended, blocked and reported for scamming.

Fera: The Sundered Tribes could be an interesting one. Just released in early access and got review bombed. While it’s certainly got a very long way to go, it is a true early access game that needs time to cook to fulfil a lot of potential that can be seen in what’s there, in my personal opinion.
