What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Bibi Blocksberg: Big Broom Race 4 (PS4)

December 29th, 2025

I really enjoyed my time with Bibi Blocksberg: Big Broom Race 3 earlier in the year, so I picked up the new sequel, Bibi Blocksberg: Big Broom Race 4. Bafflingly, it is exactly the same game as the last one, but with two key differences. First, the witches are no longer cel shaded. Second, it barely runs. It's so bad that in one race, I saw an opponent disappearing and reappearing further forward, like the game can't properly handle rendering the other racers. I have no clue why a company would release the same game, down to the tracks and cutscenes being the same, but way worse, but it is super interesting! I am going to get every achievement in this.

I got Heiwa Parlor Pro: Dolphin Ring Special to start throwing me some jackpots, too, all of which seem to be accompanied by the same animation of a little pig vibing with a mermaid, surfing, and nearly being eaten by a shark, though not in that order. This is really serving me well as a silly idle game.

Most of my game time, though, was dedicated to Luck Be A Landlord. I beat a few floors and have started fighting the landlord directly, which is a great time. I am going to have to finish this off before I'll be able to focus on anything else.
