Pickle Pete: Survivor 12+

I hate pickles, But this pickle here, Is the whose concerted hate into love. Survivor games are coming out by the dozens every month now, I’ve played several of them and none of the games have ever come close to the experience I had with vampire survivors, But in all honesty this game gives you that wow factor and then some. Dare I say it may even surpass its inspiration! I’m not one to write reviews often..But this game doesn’t ask for money on a constant basis, There’s no ads popping on your screen constantly, There’s love for the genre and extreme attention to detail. I can’t honestly believe how great this game is, I went from let me try this game to realizing 3 and a half hours had passed (Based on a true event) I’m in my 30’s, So I’m old and wise now..My wisdom to share with you all is to get this pickle, You'll never hate them again. 5/5 Stars.

It’s a bit easy but it’s a great game with no adds that has a decent amount of good features in it to help the player, you can tell this game was made with love and care. No adds too except at the end if you want to after the boss is beat, they give you free gold (it will cost a lot to upgrade passive stuff when higher lvl), the shop is the only downside, which is a normal shop type stuff but it’s not OP type. Was totally fine with dropping a few bucks on this game (for a nice perma starter weapon) knowing this game was made with love and care and not a add infested cash grab.

***Theres a new update that just dropped that made everything faster and it made the game way worse! I’m changing to 1 star and probably not going to play anymore. Each wave now is either a minute or less, enemies pop up super fast from start, each round being shorter is actually making gameplay way worse. All damages seemed to be lowered which is ok I guess but it seems the shop and shop after each wave has worse items now when it was already a bit hard to get good stuff. Gems cost more to use now too which is ok cuz you get ‘em for free, but dang these shorter time in waves is much worse, it completely changes the game for worse not better. It also feels gameplay itself is faster? Idk it feels that way and it’s not good.

New update has now severely impacted the experience of pickle Pete. For those who may not be aware, before this update, pickle Pete was free to play, minimal ads, and purchases were not necessary. It was an amazing game to grind out a few hours and really feel progress. Now, an energy bar has been added. Characters and allies are now strictly locked behind cash purchases when originally, you could grind gems and get them. Breaking down equipment cost gems when that was too free to do. And that was nice as you could experiment with builds without fear of making a huge mistake that would cause a setback in progress.

I get it. This is what gaming is coming to. You always hope you found that one game, that one developer that’s gonna break the trend. Because, just like us, developers are gamers too. Yet greed and artificial paywalls are now becoming the norm. Subscriptions are now overriding one time purchases. And most of all, this is just what it is. Complaints fall on deaf ears and games will continue to push these micro transactions. Idk, if I’m gonna pay money, I’ll just use a casino app like DraftKings or FanDuel. At least they are honest about wanting to take your money.
