An Open Letter to My Friend Who Should Really Buy This New Game With Me

Dear Friend,

I was just browsing through Steam and discovered a new early access survival crafting game, and I think we should buy it.

Now I know what you’re saying: “What about the last early access survival crafting game we all bought? The one we played once for three hours and never touched again,” and to that I say, which one are you talking about exactly? Because that could be any one of a dozen games that I begged you to purchase.

But don’t worry. This time will be different. This game is unique. It has an intricate base building system, allowing you to create any structure you can imagine. We will use it to build an unlit hole in the ground that is filled with unsorted boxes of garbage. It has a unique magic system that we will ignore in favor of just hitting guys with big metal sticks. It has a grappling hook. You like grappling hooks, right?

Okay, so maybe we don’t need a new survival game, but we need something to play. Sure, we have dozens of multiplayer games already, but we really need something new. I heard Tekken 8 was good. I know I play hundreds of hours of fighting games and always crush you, but maybe this will be the one where you’re finally better than me!

Or we could pick up a new party game? Something like Overcooked? Yes, I remember that the last time we played Overcooked you said if I ever so much as suggested it again you would kill me, but that was a long time ago and I think it’s worth another shot.

Oh, this one looks good – it’s an early access survival crafting game that I promise is nothing like the others, and it’s even on sale right now! Oh, wait, never mind, we already own that one and it looks like you gave it a negative review.

Well, I’m out of ideas. Wanna just play Elden Ring again?
