Hey there, fellow couch potatoes! Are you ready to dive into the glorious mess that is 3 out of 10: Season One? This game is like if your favorite comedian and a bunch of game developers had a sleepover, and while eating pizza, they decided to create a sitcom about making the world's ‘most mediocre’ video games. Spoiler alert: they freaking nailed it! Let's take a closer look at this rib-tickling, game-making roller coaster.
So, what can you expect from this wild ride? Picture this: a graphic adventure that pokes fun at the video game industry while making you feel like you’re part of a sitcom. You’ll get to control Midge Potters, a new animator trying to survive life at Shovelworks Studios, aka the land of ‘3 out of 10’ games. The gameplay combines narrative elements and quirky mini-games that honestly feel like a mix between a fun, absurd discussion and a fit of imaginary nerf warfare. You’ll be dodging sharks in the most ridiculous endless runner ever – because everything is better with sharks, right? Or is it all just a massive distraction from the sad state of game development? Who knows! All I know is, one episode features a character named Mr. Umbrella, and I’m here for it.
Visually, the game is a treat! The animation style is bright, very colorful, and absolutely feels like cartoons from your childhood. It’s like someone spilled neon paint all over a game console and decided to make it beautifully chaotic. The designs are quirky, and the characters charmingly unique—you can't help but chuckle each time Midge trips over her own feet. The graphics fit perfectly with the tone of the game and keep you entertained, which is a good thing considering how much you’ll see them while you get lost in the story.
In summary, if you’re looking for a gaming experience that serves up laughs, questionable decisions, and a honest portrayal of that chaotic world called game development, then 3 out of 10: Season One is a solid pick. Sure, the controls might be a bit off sometimes, and you’ll probably find your attention wavering when trying to beat those mini-games, but you’ll have a great time getting wrapped up in its absurdly charming plot (plus, any game that lets you pet a shark gets bonus points). So kick back, grab some snacks, and brace yourself for the hilariously mediocre ride that is 3 out of 10—just remember, if someone offers you granola with ketchup, run! Or maybe just laugh—that’s probably what they intended.
