    Squid Game comparison? Tomodachi Game exists long before Bland Games came out. tbh, Squid Game ain’t really good, it’s just the hype of teens which made it popular. Heck, I was thinking what’s so good about the games in Squid Game that I don’t remember any significant happenings while watching it.
