![]() Oliver also covers mobile gaming for iMore, with Apple Arcade a particular focus. Current expertise includes iOS, macOS, streaming services, and pretty much anything that has a battery or plugs into a wall. Since then he's seen the growth of the smartphone world, backed by iPhone, and new product categories come and go. Having grown up using PCs and spending far too much money on graphics card and flashy RAM, Oliver switched to the Mac with a G5 iMac and hasn't looked back. At iMore, Oliver is involved in daily news coverage and, not being short of opinions, has been known to 'explain' those thoughts in more detail, too. He has also been published in print for Macworld, including cover stories. At the same time, it’s probably also a great reminder to all of us to file our taxes by the end of this month.Oliver Haslam has written about Apple and the wider technology business for more than a decade with bylines on How-To Geek, PC Mag, iDownloadBlog, and many more. With the game being released so close to the end of tax season, I would like to think Turnip Boy was intentionally released in April as a joke or perhaps a form of escapism. Truly a masterpiece that doesn’t require much thinking to enjoy, all you have to do is pick up your controller and avoid all adult responsibilities by playing as a turnip who is avoiding all adult responsibilities. If you can call being a menace to society a harmless and casual endeavor, Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion will easily bring many smiles to your face. Although it’s not the best action game anyone has ever played, it’s definitely up there in the games that I need to talk to someone about. Sadly, the game is short and only takes a few hours to complete, but any longer than that might be cuteness and meme overload. I mean there’s a lesson to be learned here, but let’s be honest we’re not here to learn, we’re here to evade taxes. It’s a full-nonsense chaotic RPG (can we call it an RPG? I think so) with really cute characters that don’t add to the plot but plays a comedic role in all of the madness. In terms of entertainment value, Turnip Boy’s got it. And don’t get me started on boss fights, one of them almost made me rage quit but then I got lucky and all was good. Changing from a sword to a watering can is a troublesome task, and enemies respawning immediately after you leave and return to a room can make exploration a tad challenging. Different enemies require different ways of defeating them, but our Turnip Boy can only hold one item at a time. While the controls are simple and displayed on the screen telling you what each button does, it’s amazing how much I still struggled with getting the hang of it despite there being only a couple of options. All the weapons and equipment you need can be retrieved very easily, and nothing is close to impossible to figure out. Some areas are blocked off until you have fulfilled a task, and others can be accessed through watering plants that turn into bombs, or growing square watermelons and using fancy gloves to push them into holes so you can walk across. It’s mostly a nice, stress-free experience where we explore the world and pick up items that help us interact with objects found in dungeons and around the town. The puzzles in Turnip Boy are easy and don’t ask for much brain power. Entertaining Gameplay but Troublesome Controls
