Games With Giggee

A game that has been taking YouTube by storm recently is “Best Fiends”. You may see ads on videos or even some YouTubers promoting it throughout their videos.

I downloaded the game in spring of 2022 just to see what it is all about. I played it throughout the summer and surpassed many levels, but I am now stuck on level 720.

The game is almost like Candy Crush, but it has its own characteristics. The game has Fiends in which you can upgrade to get stronger power ups to help defeat the slugs. The slugs are creatures that are the main antagonist in the game that you are trying to defeat.

Every level has different slugs to defeat to pass or some just have different quests to complete to win the level. The variety of ways to beat different levels makes it interesting and holds my attention longer.

The game is different from most matching games where you have to connect them through a line rather than matching three in a row. This adds a different feel to the game than most matching games.

Best Fiends also has different seasons which will win you different prizes or power-ups. There are also special events like, slugs and ladders.

Some levels may be harder than others but if I happen to fail a level I could use gold. The gold I can either buy or get through the different events throughout the game.

All the features make the game unique but also kind of similar to most matching games. I enjoy the game sometimes. The only time I do not is when I get bored or stuck on a super hard level.

Overall I would give this game a three out of five hearts. The game itself is fun, but can get discouraging after a while. The game does not require Wi-Fi so if somewhere happens to not have any service, the game will still work, so it will work for gamers on the go.

The Sims game as we know it has been around since the 2000s. The creator of the game, Will Wright, had been working on the game since 1989, but when his family home burned down it changed his perspective on things.

The game changed by letting the user control a household of sims and design their own houses. This gave the opportunity for the Sims to have needs, reproduce, emotions, and die.

Personally I have played the game for about 3 years and have watched it for many years before that. I enjoy the game immensely and play it a lot.

The Sims also has plenty of different packs to buy to add different features to the game like dogs or seasons. Even adds many different ways to customize the Sims themselves.

The game is going to release a new update where they are going to expand on the babies and give them more characteristics. This update happened on March 14, 2023 this is a big update brought to the game, but they do update the game periodically for little fixes.

The new infant update has some glitches and has weird affects like, long legs or white eyes. Overall the infant update is rather cute and adds different ways to interact with the new baby.

For example, I enjoy getting to feed the babies different types of baby food, and baby proofing different doors or stairs. The babies can even interact with your animals, like sleeping next to the dogs or cats.

This update gave even more features to add to the game to make it more versatile and fun to play.

I like the ability to have complete control of my Sims and their families. I feel like a God, I can either be merciful and nice or cruel and mean.

This game I would give a five out of five hearts. I love this game and all the features it has. Unfortunately this version of the game is only available on computers. I would definitely give this a try if you have a computer and some extra cash you could buy the game with.
