They're taking a leaf out of Valve's playbook and letting "indie devs" release more games. Except "indie" means "anyone who owns a computer". It's been getting steadily worse since Life of Black Tiger and Firefighters the Simulation. They have some sort of quality control, since they wouldn't let Skyrim have full access to mods, but I've got a feeling that whoever is in charge of it is also letting all his relatives' stuff through because his mum told him to share his toys or something. Jim Sterling's Squirty Play series shows how the mess began less than a decade ago & it's gonna get worse. Kinda reminds me of the early days of computing, where anyone could make ZX Spectrum games and sell the cassette in the back of a magazine for a couple of quid - that's how history ended up with stuff like Beat 'em & Eat 'em, Dizzy & Streaker. My sister's 8yr old friend had that last one and her mum had *no* freaking idea that the MC was an overweight, balding naked old man who had to try to find his clothes before he got arrested for indecency. I'm still genuinely surprised that no-one has covered it on YT (like Octavius), I made sure the game is real and wasn't a fever dream or anything... Publishers also liked to pay teenagers something like £20 to make a game in two weeks, which they'd then sell & keep all the profits because they were using literal child labour and the children didn't know about stuff like royalties.
I’m still just baffled at these kinds of titles being released on a new gen console. These are actually the literal definition of cash grabs. How is this allowed? lol

The Grinch may be less of a bastard if there wasn’t an omnipresent voice roasting his ass every few minutes 🤣 The Grinch starts to become relatable. I don’t hate the holiday, it’s the people. He just wants peace and quiet with his dog.
The sad thing is, is that these games don't HAVE to be bad. It is actually possible for these games to have good ideas. Will there ever be a company that makes good kids licensed games? I genuinely hope so. I know the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles new game is genuinely good.
That reference to Ram Ranch made he so happy 😂 Is it weird that I kind of like the Grinches design? The book intro was cute too tbh. I love how they don't use any unique enemies that would fit a Dr Seuss universe and just go with the stereotypical Christmas stuff you would see anywhere.
Tbh that No Russian level in the new Grinch game where you shoot up Whoville went a bit too far, but I get why they had to include it for the Cindy-Lou revenge plot.
I can understand why it's objectively bad but my girl and I had a great time playing this game together. Sometimes a game is what you make it and in this case we found ourselves preferring the simplicity. The animations are cute, bugs are hilarious, and it just felt like nostalgic old-school gaming. Bad for modern standards? Of course. But in our experience this was a jolly good holiday treat to casually enjoy and not have to dump too much time into to complete 100%. We also got it on sale so it felt worth it for us.
I’ve had a rough freakin year guys but discovering your channel has definitely softened the blow. Thanks for the laughs. You guys should check out one of the earth defense force games. You may have fun with them.
This is honestly a totally functional game for age +3 with some rough edges here and there. Make me nostalgic about this tier type of games from 90s 2000s
Damn. Not only a jontron video on Christmas but a mind pulp video to boot? Awesome. The only two presents I'll get be getting today. I thank you, mind pulp, for giving me a Christmas gift on this painful day. You both are great, and I am so grateful for having found your channel
RUclips algorithm really want me to watch this, forcing the video to me and never left my youtube feed for the whole day with so many refresh so fine, I'll watch it
The CO-OP of this reminds me of the old Sonic 2 and 3, where a second player could play as Tails who, while he could take damage and do most things, ultimately did not have any bearing on the game as long as Sonic didn't die. Tails would just keep coming back if anything happened to him. But unlike this game, player 2 added to the experience, because tails could fly (and carry Sonic) and tag-teaming bosses was awesome.
I’m pretty sure it’s always been like that with each generation, but the difference seems to be that these terrible games don’t go under the radar anymore.
I never thought I'd be one of those guys who said; "I actually liked this game", but I did. It isn't great by any means but I had fun with it. It is just the right length, but I ended up beating it in one sitting.
Ngl, this game is far times better than the PS1 Grinch game. At least, this game stays true to the original book and it's pretty fun to play. Merry Christmas, Mind Pulp!!
Buddy just said the Polar Express sucks? That’s a guarantee to lose credibility. Maybe you are indeed the grinch? This game doesn’t offer anything groundbreaking. But it serves its purpose. It’s a basic platformer, geared to kids. Reviewers today are incentivized to be indifferent. Everything has to be compared to the best.
“Merry Christmas! Friday the 13th the game is no longer for sale, many boring things were announced, and this pile of slop was made!” What a great year.
I cry every single day mind pulp doesn’t play the Bourne conspiracy. I save those tears. Dry them. And one day I will build a salty tower of sadness. Then one day, sitting in my tower, I will see the video requested and tears of joy will stream down my cheeks. Passing my other cheeks, melting my butt to the ground of gratefulness
what a way to celebrate the festive season... Outright Games style. 💩
happy holidays everyone! 🎄😃

Be thankful for the fact that GameMill didn’t make it. That’s something to say the least.

The Cat in the Hat game is similar to this one, if I remember or right, and that game is just forgettable. Grinch PS1 at least has some nostalgia tho.

Every generation has a selection of garbage media that they absolutely love due to childhood nostalgia.

Game apparently has decent reviews. I'm seeing low 4s to high 4s out of 5 with 72% of Google users saying they liked the game
it's not that bad, Sweet Baby Inc didn't work on it
Why does the ps5 have so many titles like this with worse graphics than ps4 games? Seems like it kinda defeats the point

Now to be fair, to be fair. Tye grinch didn't hate Christmas, he just hated people. Which is relatable
