The "Explain a Video Game Badly" Game
 
Don't remember if we've done this here before (if we have, must have been a while ago!) but I see the #ExplainAFilmPlotBadly tag on Twitter a lot, and I think it could be fun to try it here with games too :D

For those unfamiliar, you basically just use a sentence or two to... explain the plot of a game badly, usually in a way that highlights the more absurd aspects of the game or pokes fun at it.

I'll start with some examples:

Stardew Valley:
Gives crops and animal produce to strangers until they love you

Mario Kart:
Italian plumber and friends throw banana peels at each other and drive badly

Dark Souls:
The main character dies. A lot.

If yours contains any major plot spoilers or endings or anything like that, just be sure to wrap it in a spoiler tag. Have fun!
