This is a bit of a backlog review, but I just finished THOSE GAMES EXTREME, so here it goes: This meme-title game is a collection of five different minigames: Knock-Back Shooter, Pin Pull 2, Draw & Guard, Numbers Dungeon, and Spellbinding Scroll. The controls are sadly a bit questionably-implemented on PC, but given that most of them are puzzle games and don't require very rapid action, this isn't too much of a problem - and the one where it makes a difference, Spellbinding Scroll, has very good arrow key controls.

Spellbinding Scroll was my favorite this time, a knockoff of the vertically scrolling shooter where you steal the numbers of people you shoot. It only had 25 stages, but it was still the most fun of the minigames, because it required some tricky inputs in addition to executing the correct solutions.

Pin Pull 2 was the sequel to the first game's Pin Pull, with 50 stages this time around, and featuring a lot more particle effects since it's "about" filling up containers rather than getting the main character to a goal or destroying everything. Unfortunately this made it feel fairly RNG even with the correct solutions on some stages, due to the interaction of the particles.

Draw & Guard was probably the most unique minigame, you could draw lines on the screen that then became solid, and you had to use them to protect cats from falling into lava, being exploded by dynamite, or being bitten by bats. Due to being more or less a simple physics game, it allowed for probably the most inventive solutions, but some of the stage restrictions were still fairly annoying or awkward across its 50 stages.

Numbers Dungeon was basically the return of the math puzzle Number Tower from the first game, where you can defeat any enemy with a number smaller than yours and add its strength to yours, plus there's also additive and multiplicative bonuses and subtractive and divisive penalties you have to deal with in order to optimize your score, but instead of being a sequence of towers you had to complete in order, it was a full dungeon you could explore, which made it cooler and harder due to having more restrictive sequences of moves. It had 25 stages and would have been my favorite, except for how much I liked Spellbinding Scroll.

And finally, the "main" / 100-stage minigame for this one was Knock-Back Shooter, a game about bouncing a slingshot bullet off of objects to hit everything you want to hit and nothing you don't want to hit. As usual, the 100-stage ones don't really feel like they have 100 stages of gimmicks, but it was faster and more fun than Pin Pull in the first game, so I appreciated it.

Ultimately, as with the first collection, "THOSE GAMES 2" are what you might expect - short minigames based on lying mobile game advertisements. Even with 250 stages across the game, it's still pretty short and I finished all of them in about 6 hours - one more than the first collection - though there's a bunch of things you can do if you're an achievement/top-score hunter. Recommended if that sounds interesting to you, and some of these minigames got above amusing and into being actually fun this time around, at least for me.

A collection of fun advertised games.
