LIFE OF THE BLACK TIGER
Worst Games of Q1 2017
How exactly Life of the Black Tiger managed to be released onto the PS4 is a total mystery. When its trailer was first shown on the official PS4 YouTube channel, most people thought it was a joke. Since then it has gotten over one million views, and a whole lot of “what the heck Sony?”
Essentially, you are the mysterious Black Tiger who roams around his 2001 Zoo Tycoon-looking environments hunting prey and other predators. Missions include going to a spot and standing on it, killing stuff, and killing other stuff.
Not only does this game look awful, but it plays even worse. The Tiger’s attack is slow and aiming is pretty much limited to pointing a certain direction and hoping the enemy stays in place while you take three seconds to swipe while orange sparks flash in the air.
Not only that, the Black Tiger finds himself a lady (watch out, MAJOR Life of the Black Tiger plot spoilers coming up) and they have a baby. What does the Black Tiger say at the birth of his child? “It’s good the baby is not a black one like me. I’m lucky.” Um, what? What message is this game trying to convey exactly?
Life of the Black Tiger somehow released on Ps4 on Jan 12.
