Games that are only enjoyable because of the people you play with, I.E. your friends.

This game is neat and all, but I don't understand the blitzkrieg of popularity for what is essentially a different take on Prop Hunt.

Did he pay a bunch of streamers to play it, and popularity did the rest?

There are many games that can only be played as a twitch streamer or if you have 15 friends to game with. It's validly disparaging, albeit it's fine they exist.

A lot of them are pretty mediocre beyond the first few sessions you play with your friends. A lot of the games are usually early access with not much content initially, but they’ll drip feed new stuff every once in a while.

A lot of them are 6 dollars like this game so the expectations aren’t high. Being mediocre is fine.

If you enjoy lots of JANK together with friends, thats a friendslop game.

I've only seen screenshots and a few seconds of gameplay, but I thought the painting concept was neat. I'm way too colorblind to ever try it, personally.

Seen a ton of videos of it and the one thing I have to ask is why so many people think hiding against a wall is a good idea even if you can paint yourself perfectly; you still pop away from the wall so unless the seekers look at you head on, they will instsntly spot you.

The best ones are when all the hiders join together and become their own piece of furniture lol

essentially a different take on Prop Hunt.

I think that might just be it. Known concept with a unique new variation.
