Glitch Of The Game

Has Fishing 10/10

Great game! Loved the reference to film auteur Neil Breen. Don't be afraid to dig down deep to find it!

Glitch of the Game is a unique indie title that leans heavily into its self-aware, glitch-centric premise. As the name suggests, the game is filled with intentional glitches, as well as unintentional glitches like being able to open the in-game menu in the main menu or having your weapons unequip when you walk through a door. One of the game's key appeals is its reliance on gaming lore and references, and if you’re not familiar with them, many of the puzzles and jokes might fly over your head. For example, without knowing a certain classic cheat code, you’ll be locked out of one of the glitches. Not being familiar with the Elder Scrolls games would you might deprive you of several of the games jokes. The experience of discovering the glitches is mixed. Some, like the pixel-perfect platforming sections, are more of a pain than a rewarding challenge. Others, however, are a joy to uncover. I particularly enjoyed figuring out the merchant math glitch, and the buried treasure chest would have been a neat find if the trailer didn’t have a huge hint for it. Glitch of the Game desperately needs an endgame or some form of ultimate reward. After painstakingly uncovering all the glitches, I was left with nothing to show for it, which was quite disappointing. Despite its flaws, I had fun with Glitch of the Game. For just 99 cents, it's easy to overlook its brevity and the fact that the entire game consists of only two rooms. It’s a short, quirky experience that’s worth the price.
