After doing some research, MountBound is like YIIK but not pretentious?


I've been thinking about it recently, and it has me wondering. I do not like YIIK in the slightest because, in my opinion, it looks like mobile game shovelware, but with stiff animations.

MountBound and YIIK have a lot in common: post-modernism and vaporwave with a 90s game-inspired retro art style.

The difference between them is rather large, however.

"YIIK: A Postmodern RPG" tries too hard to be profound that it comes off as pretentious.

MountBound, however, both pokes fun at and embraces vaporwave, surrealism, post-modernism, and whatever else you'd want to call it.

In other words, MountBound isn't pretentious, it just uses a lot of irony to be funny. YIIK overdoes everything MountBound is and it comes off as a pretentious and even offensively bad waste of time, all in the pursuit of trying to make some profound message that isn't clear.

If you took a close look at both the MB and YIIK posters, you'd see what I'm talking about.
