But equally some gamers will love the cohesion and the extent to which they knuckle down and stick with the phallic theme. I predict that there will be a lot of gamers who won’t enjoy Genital Jousting due to the lowbrow humour with not much else going on. If you’re able to move past the core concept of the game and accept it for the stupid penis game that it is, then you’re probably in for a bit of fun. This is understandable too because it can move into really contentious areas. As soon as you deal with penetration it doesn’t matter how many content warnings you display or how often you ask your players to consent, somebody is going to find it distasteful.
This narration isn’t only used for humour but it’s also used to explain John’s thoughts, feeling, and as a general tool to help unfold the story.Ī quick disclaimer has to be made about the uncomfortable topic of penetration. Your actions and motives are all narrated by a soothing female voice. Controlling John you walk (slyther?) throughout his apartment, to work, to the clubs, to the gym, to the park – wherever John’s adventures take him. Throughout this journey John may not find a date, but he does manage to find himself (no, I’m not joking). John sets off on an arduous and humiliating journey to find himself a date to bring to his upcoming school reunion. The narrative revolves around a self-loathing peen by the name of John. Although if you’re anything like me, you’re probably going to start there anyway. The game’s campaign isn’t what you’re going to be purchasing Genital Jousting for. Enjoy a phallic gag or two? Well you better believe this game has you covered. The game is a penis-filled gimmick that relies solely on your appreciation of lowbrow humour. There isn’t a captivating narrative here, or a tense and deep multiplayer experience – it is a gimmick. Genital Jousting is a not a game that is meant to be taken seriously, obviously.
