Gutwhale
SCORE: 62
Gutwhale is a digital downloadable video
game that is on the Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series
X, and Nintendo Switch. I played Gutwhale on the Nintendo Switch. There
are three unique areas in Gutwhale. We must fight enemies while working
our way through the digestive system of a giant beast. We also only have
one bullet in Gutwhale at first. We must go get that bullet after
shooting an enemy.
Gutwhale is for hardcore gamers only. Casual gamers will have no
interest in Gutwhale whatsoever. Why does the Working Man Gamer say
that? Gutwhale is challenging right out of the gate. There are different
hats that do different things for the player. The patterns of the
enemies stay the same so memorization of where they are and what they do
is paramount to success in Gutwhale.
Players can take one hit in Gutwhale as well as starting with the one
bullet. Avoiding the enemies is required to win in Gutwhale. I had
issues with this especially because of the dark indie graphics. There
were times that I died because I did not notice something was an enemy
or there was a door nearby. Players can only die so many times before
they must completely restart the game. I told you Gutwhale is for
hardcore gamers.
The music in Gutwhale is pleasing to my ears. I actually expected to
hear whale songs while I was playing Gutwhale. The issues families can
have with Gutwhale is blood and violence. Gutwhale is one of those games
that could make quite a few gamers rage quit. I honestly did not have
the energy to rage quit. I realized early on that Gutwhale is beyond my
abilities at this time.
Remember I told you memorization was key to success? I discovered at one
point while playing Gutwhale that the levels randomly generate. That
meant memorizing the patterns was a complete waste of time. I had to
learn to react quickly to levels in Gutwhale. If you are a real glutton
for punishment then you can try and endless mode in Gutwhale. Hardcore
indie gamers will enjoy Gutwhale.
