Alex Yiik comes back home from college to use his liberal arts degree to get the groceries for Mommy. Along the way he makes friends with a bunch losers and a Girl and they learn about different realities, they do a Earthbound reference for 50 hours, ride a cool skateboard, disregard child suicide, fight poop and a llama, and SO MUCH MORE!!! Is our reality doomed? Will Alex kiss Vella? Will Alex's voice over ever get compressed by the editor? How many minigames will our heroes have to master in order to progress the plot? Something something Soulspace? All these questions and MORE can only be answered by plunging face first into the World of YIIK!
If you want a fun "shoot the nazis" game and a good story, New Order/Old Blood bundle is almost always dirt cheap. New Colossus is a fun little shooter that takes a stinking wet dump on the previous game's story. At the end of New Order BJ built a revolution and dealt a huge blow to the nazis, but in New Colossus the nazis are shown to be even MORE powerful than before and BJ and friends have to build another revolution again, making the previous story's events almost pointless. Characters are one dimensional when they're not annoying, the tone is less serious and more goofy, the dialog and voice acting is bland at best and cringy at worst, and the plot... good Lord is the plot terrible. How bad is this plot? (SPOILERS, but you shouldn't care) Well in the game there is a flying fortress called Odin that our heroes have to access to stop the nazis, except they need the passcodes in order to get inside. Where are the passcodes? On a nazi base ON THE PLANET VENUS. So the good guys steal a space ship from Area 52 (yes...ugh) and get BJ access to Venus because Hitler (yes THAT Hitler) is making a movie on Venus and luckily BJ looks EXACTLY like a famous actor Hitler wants to cast. So BJ travels all the way to FREAKING Venus and acquires the codes, and back on Earth our heroes find out that the code that grants access to Odin is "Valhalla". Yes. Instead of just taking a basic guess, our heroes are so stupid they had to GO TO ANOTHER PLANET to figure out that the password for a fortress called "ODIN" was "Valhalla". Who ever wrote this story should be walking dogs or flipping burgers.
