Summary

Clicker Heroes is addictive stuff, Its become a thing now where clicker games are sneaking onto the consoles. It started with Plantera on 3DS and now we have this. Its a really easy to play game. I say play, The game can play its bastard self! Its a novelty and something to get easy trophies from for free. Yes it has its moments but at the end of the day boredom will seep in and you find other things to do. It has all the clicker traits and it does a good job on PS4. I just wonder how many people can actually be bothered to play/watch it. We shall see….

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
