Oh wow it's been a while since I've done one of these, but to be fair I've really only been playing the same four games this pandemic; I'll come back to the other three in later posts (eventually, hopefully...). ANYWHO this time around I'm reviewing Hot Pool (VirtexUniverse, 2017), which has gotten me through many a Zoom call. Unlike the other two games I've reviewed so far, there's not much of a narrative to unpack seeing as it's a casual game, but it does have...interesting queer politics.
