I'm still not sure if I'll buy the Switch. #Octodad and i am bread game upgradeThat's why I have a PC upgrade planned in the near future. Even Nintendo has fallen to this nickle-and-dime stuff that the other consoles started. I'm also beyond disappointed to see that the Switch will have paid online multiplayer. It looks pretty good! I'm not sure how I feel about Mario in a realistic world though. More weird games, please and thank you! I definitely recommend giving Pato Box a try, it’s currently available on PlayStation 4, PS Vita, Nintendo Switch, and of course Steam.Speaking of platformers, the original king of platforming is back in style! :D If this is what they’ve decided to give us as their first title, I’m figuring it only gets weirder from here. I for one am absolutely looking forward to more from Bromio and 2thing design studio. It’s not often we get games devoid of colour, and playing this has made me wonder why we don’t have more black and white games.Īll in all, this game is super fun and addictive. The black and white sets it apart from other games, making it really stand out. Maybe it’s my favourite music video as a child influencing how much I love the look of this game - thank you A-Ha - but spending time in a black and white comic-book world sounds wonderful to me. It fits perfectly with the story, really pulling you into the world with its simple and effective design. The art in this title is perfect, done all in black and white with a very comic-book inspired style. It’s so ridiculous that it’s wonderful and somehow stress relieving. Doing this as a super buff boxing duck is probably one of the most satisfying things I’ve done in a game in a while. Between boxing matches, you’ll get to explore Patobox’s old company, which sometimes means punching and breaking as much stuff in a room as possible. The most fun, though, is the destruction. After some time spent learning the rhythm to the fight, it became more intuitive, still challenging and definitely fun. You want to do the same, typical in boxing of course, and do your best to avoid punches while landing your own. I learned quickly that you have to pay close attention to your opponent to defend and attack rather than yourself as they will bob and weave. The boxing matches are similar to Punch Out! close up, giving you roughly the waist up of your challenger. The boxing gameplay weighs heavily on your reflexes. Now it’s up to him to discover just what Deathflock is up to, reveal the truth and find out why they turned their backs on him and let him take the fall. Secrets and lies being protected by the members of the organization, and Patobox’s eyes have been opened. Betrayal by the very company he’s been working for, Deathflock, revealed the evil that is this corporation has been doing in the background. So what’s the story? You are Patobox, an anthropomorphic boxing duck working his way to the peak of his career. Fortunately, this title doesn’t have the level of rage-inducing frustration that those others do. After all, this is how we got Surgeon Simulator, Octodad, and I Am Bread. No one else would have ever dreamed this game up, which is why indie devs are the best as their imaginations tend to run wild. No one asked for it, no one else even thought of it save for these devs, and that’s the most wonderful thing about it. I haven’t even gotten to the best part yet, either, and that’s your character - a big, buff, human-duck hybrid with one hell of a right hook.īrought to us by Bromio and 2think design studio in their first outing, Pato Box is one of those games no one realised they needed in their lives. Punch Out! meets Catlateral Damage in this odd mix of boxing and destroying rooms for points. In the grand tradition of weird games that are somehow wonderful, I present to you Pato Box.
