What led me to such rich bounties?

We divided ourselves into roles in an orderly fashion: I proudly stocked the shelves, my buddy Matt ordered products, and we had a rotating staff of friends on the cash register.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The game\u2019s design reminds me a lot of <em>Lethal Company<\/em>\u2019s, except instead of worrying about sharp drops, murderous cryptids, or cursed masks, the worst thing we deal with is the dreadful shoplifter. Luckily, the game provides us with tools for a highly effective loss prevention department: brooms. If anyone tries any funny business, they get swarmed and thwomped repeatedly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Lately, I\u2019ve been craving a chill gaming experience to share with friends &#8212; something easy to pick up, flexible for co-op, and not requiring too much brain. While there are plenty of great games to enjoy with friends, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/game\/stellaris\/39117\"><em>Stellaris<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/game\/helldivers-2\/40933\"><em>Helldivers 2<\/em><\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/gaming\/24093693\/sea-of-thieves-new-players-2024-updates-rare\"><em>Sea of Thieves<\/em><\/a>, some of them are a little too involved, especially when people trickle home from work in a staggered sequence, or someone has to step away to deal with family or any of a million other interruptions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">That said, it does seem like you can crank up the chaos in <em>Supermarket Together<\/em>; the game supports up to 16 players, and it scales up the difficulty with the number of people in the lobby. There\u2019s also a separate difficulty meter, in case you want to play at a level that demands squads of broom-wielding shopkeepers roaming the supermarket grounds looking for thieves to pummel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2709570\/Supermarket_Together\/\"><em>Supermarket Together<\/em> is available on Steam.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/gaming\/440788\/supermarket-together-co-op-chill-game-free-steam\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don\u2019t have a lot going for me right now, but there\u2019s one accomplishment I can proudly share: I\u2019m the general manager at Nice Groceries, the newest supermarket where you can find everything you need for dinner, with specialties like unbanded rice, milk bricks, fruit yogurt, and a whole variety of sodas.
