After doing that, I was left with something like twelve games out of a couple hundred that likely were non-Action, HOG-free Adventure games. I actually resorted to this tactic, trying to find an Adventure style game that wasn't heavy on HOG, and it took several hours over a couple of days to weed through the list of games in that one genre. This means you have to open every title, to read the brief synopsis, to learn what style the game really is and what it is about. You will find approximately the same list of games in each genre! Sometimes, in the game list, an icon will accompany the title, so you know if it is an HOG or not without even opening it to take a look at the synopsis, but half the time there is no clue. They mush all their game genres together in EVERY category, so their genre labels are meaningless. For example, if you don't want an HOG, you would expect to look in one of the other genre than "Hidden Object," and find what you want. So here comes the big " But." Increasingly, they are selling what I would call blended games, that do not offer the game play you are looking for, and this has ruined it for me.įirst of all, they present their game genres in what appears to be separate categories (Puzzle, Action, Adventure, Hidden Object), but when you delve into a discrete genre, it turns out it isn't sorted at all. I had a good experience overall, and the love affair with Big Fish lasted for years. And their customer service was quick whenever I had a technical problem with a game (which was not often). I usually felt I got my money's worth even if a game did turn out to be too short or not as interesting as I'd hoped. For the most part, their games are fun, colorful, entertaining and not that expensive if you watch for their sales. Of course, 95% of topics will just be who you want in Smash Bros.I have bought and played dozens and dozens of games on Big Fish.

Occasionally, Cranky Kong's old nemesis invites Donkey Kong to the Mushroom Kingdom for some sports balling. Are you really going to fight us on this? Look, we somehow justified Star Fox as a DK spinoff.

It's the newest category in the DKU! Playtonic has promised a robust shared universe all their own, but thanks to an unnamed goldfish, Yooka-Laylee and all subsequent Playtonic games are also part of the grand legacy of the Donkey Kong Universe. Pants stuffs it into It's Mr Pants! Captain Blackeye sails into Sea of Thieves! Fish. It's the Banjo-Kazooie spinoffs! Roysten the goldfish appears in Grabbed by the Ghoulies and the Viva Pinata franchise! Old man Sabreman legs it into Sabre Wulf! Mr. you'll have to leave your blasters on the ship. Discuss the Dinosaur Planet games (Star Fox Adventures, Star Fox Assault and Star Fox Command) here. In Star Fox Adventures, we learned that Diddy Kong Racing's Tricky was from the Lylat System, bringing Fox McCloud and crew into the Donkey Kong Universe. Discuss Conker's Pocket Tales, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Conker: Live & Reloaded and Conker's Big Reunion. While he's fallen into depression and alcoholism, he'll always have a sanctuary here. Things have taken a dark turn for Conker since we first met him in Diddy Kong Racing. Discuss Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Grunty's Revenge, Banjo-Pilot, the mobile titles, Nuts & Bolts and any other future Banjo games. Wahay! Here's the board for Diddy Kong Racing's hillbilly bear and the other wacky inhabitants of Spiral Mountain.

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is the main topic at the moment, but you can also discuss the original DKC games, the Donkey Kong Land trilogy, Diddy Kong Racing, PAON's output, and even those damned bongo titles. Here you can talk about Rare's Kong family and friends, now lovingly in the hands of Retro Studios. Would you like to debate the map placement of Timber's Island compared to the Isle O' Hags? How long is a bus ride to Pants Land from Ghoulhaven Hall? Would Big Al riding Rambi be as awkward as it sounds? This is the place for discussion that relates to the entire Donkey Kong Universe.
