About The Final Stand 2:
I was a sophomore in a public high school. In Texas. So, in summary, hell. The math teacher wasn’t teaching and I wasn’t learning. Instead, I was scrolling through CoolMathGames. I found a few gems, good enough to cure my boredom, and even a couple that I continued to play at home, if only to please my inner perfectionist. Then I clicked on The Final Earth 2. I was/am a very easily bored person, so I clicked this game only because it was a simulator and nothing else. CoolMathGames did not do the game justice, because it looked boring on first glace. That first glance was more than enough to have me scroll by most days. but I was particularly bored and I had already played through a few of the gems. So I clicked. Long story short, Steam may say that I only have 4 hours on this game, but I actually have more. Add at least 15 more hours and you get the idea. This game, with its simple design, simple mechanics, and simple goals, triggered the ‘happy, clicky-click’ part of my brain and I played this game instead of doing homework, or playing the subjectively more entertaining games on my phone. No. Nonono. The Final Earth 2 was the priority.I had to complete all the goals, get the spoiler, solve the spoiler, and finish the game. Or, finish the game as best as possible, and then start all over again. I loved figuring out how to make my towering city the most efficient, while still visually pleasing. I loved making up challenges for myself and completing said challenges, only to figure out a new one while pretending I was doing my English project and avoiding eye contact with my teachers.
