Ok maybe it's because I'm a millennial, BUT this game is a 8/10 I had a lot of fun with it. There are some bugs that can totally freeze up your game resulting in you having to restart the WHOLE DAY that are pretty unfortunate (especially if you're n achievement hunter like me who got bugged out of the same 2 achievements 2x on one and 4x on the other :TheRedCrownEvil: )
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
so fun!!!! i do wish there was a post-game to finish up achievements without having to start a new game. the endings are also not satisfying, i was excited about the lore before realizing it didn't really go anywhere in the end. the gameplay loop is great though and i love silly reality tv
The biggest reason I don't recommend The Crush House is because it's not the game it appears to be. The premise is fun and the characters look interesting, but they're shallow and the whole experience feels empty. The challenges are fine, and the sort-of mysterious main story gives you something to keep playing for, but it almost feels like that mystery exists because the core gameplay isn't interesting enough on...
