What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Stencil Art (Switch)

February 28th, 2023

I was pretty wiped out last night, so my main game for the day was just more Disney Tsum Tsum. I did really fabulously at it, though, especially for having a beginner roster of tsums, so I was happy with this.

I also gave Stencil Art another go on my Switch, as a shut-my-brain-off-before-bed-game, and it still feels more like a super simple toy than a game to me. For what it is, it's fine, but without being able to pick the spray paint colors, the interactivity feels way too low, even for a game I'm looking to have put me to sleep.

Lunch break post today! I have no steam, so I'll get into it. Last night, I wanted to see if any of the games I got in the Switch bundle with Calm Colors has the same relaxing effect. I tried Stencil Art, and it does not. It's not bad for the toy that it is- you spray paint images one stencil at a time to see how they come together- but it's not quite enough to keep my attention. Choosing patterns is cute, but it's a major missed opportunity to not allow for color choice. I might play again if I feel super stressed, or to chip away at an easy game in my backlog, but I didn't like it too well.
