Making friends in 2023 is difficult, what with the social anxieties of coming out of lockdown, and the increasingly isolated existence that we\u2019re all experiencing. But spare a thought for an AI living in a video game from 1984. That must be a lonely experience. If we find it hard making friends, it\u2019s got to be harder when you\u2019re effectively HAL.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Buddy Simulator 1984 is the second game we\u2019re reviewed in the space of a month \u2013 alongside Inscryption \u2013 where we feel like we\u2019re ruining the experience by talking about it. Much like describing the workings of a magic trick before you see it, reviewing Buddy Simulator 1984 can be a demystifying experience. And much like our review of Inscryption<\/strong>, the best solution to the problem is to say sod it, stop reading and buy it. You won\u2019t regret it, buddy.<\/p>\n
