Cake Bash is a new multiplayer game aimed at those in need of a good time in this dark era. That is to say its colorful art style is sure to appeal to both older gamers and young ones. It's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:fun for all ages and family friendly, in other words.
There is a lot to love about this party game, but even on the worse side of the equation, the problems are more like minor annoyances at best. Still, there are definitely some features missing from this package that would ultimately have made Cake Bash better.
10 Best: The Art Style
Everything in this game l𒉰ooks incredibly tasty. The art style will hook players in right away. From the pink frosted donuts to the jiggly pieces of fudge, this game will make one water at the mouth. It is adorable and charming from head to toe and somehow manages to not be unsettling.
9 Worst: Unlocking Content
Like any game where multiplayer is the key hook, it stinks having to unlock content. Unlocking color variations for the treats, or gaining new treats in general is one thing, but getting new modes is another. Some of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the best modes in the games are hidden which is a bummer. It won’t take that long to get everything, but the poi﷽nt is it can be tedious as some modes or levels are randomized for unlocking.
8 Best: The Game Modes
As annoying as unlocking content can be, the modes themselves are quite fun. The bakery idea was inventive enough but the developers go a step further into integrating the style into gameplay. From roasting marshmallows to golden perfection to frosting deserts and even to smashing cookies open, it all works. It’s like the mini games 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:in Mario Party without the Monopoly board.
7 Worst: Unfortunately There Are Very Few Of Them
The modes are great, but there isn’t a lot here. $20 isn’t an exorbitant price for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:an indie game by any stretc𝓰h nor is the amount of content severely lacking where it feels like a ripoff. It’s just that with so few modes at launch, it may get repetitive quickly. This is true even when everything is unlocked. Hopefully this gamꩵe will receive plenty of free updates to hook players back in.
6 Best: The Music
To accompany the charming art style, the music is equally as adorable. It feels like a lost game and or show from Cartoon Network. That might just be because Adventure Time has similarly cute anthropomorphic deserts. Anyway, the music is not going to get anyone to buy the soundtrack by any means, but the tunes and sound effects really flesh out this package as one of the most 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:unique multiplayer experiences in 2020.
5 Worst: Game Length
This has nothing to do with how long it takes to unlock everything. It has to do with how long modes last. The aforementioned campfire mini game, for example, lasts a minute whereas the✤ mode involving bashing cookies lasts two minutes.
A minute is the perfect length which adds a sort of fever to ꧒the match. Even ﷽though two minutes isn’t that much longer, it can feel like an eternity comparatively.
4 Best: Multiplayer
Whether one is planning to play this alone with bots, with three other loved ones on the couch, or online, Cake Bash has plenty of options. Since the review copy couldn’t be tested against a mass audience, this may come with a bit of stipulation. Connecting worked fine when it found someone random altho🔥ugh it was harder. Connecting with friends was easy though so hopefully launch day will be just as successful.
3 Worst: No Jumping/Dancing
It’s not a huge loss, but not being able to jump is a letdown. There is also no way to taunt other players by dancing. Why someone would want to do that in the middle of a brawl match is beyond anyone’s guess but there are times when dancing would be appropriate. This is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a multiplayer game, after all.
2 Best: Avatars
This coincides with th𝔍e entry about🗹 the art, but to be more blunt about it, the avatars are out of this world. The choices get even better when more are unlocked.
Plus the color variations are more than just pallet swap sometimes. The cupcakeꦅ can go full unicorn for example. There’s a lot to see so let’s leavജe them as a surprise.
1 Worst: No Campaign
At the end of the day Cake Bash does not need a simple player campaign. It focuses on creating a memorable, if not somewhat 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:fleeting multiplayer experience. Its short length with the lack of modes could have used a little extra though li♏ke a campaign even if it too turned out to be short. Given that this world is so adorable, being able to spend more time in it would have been a neaಞt extra.
