You might look at Prodigal and think that it looks like a simple Game Boy game, and that is true to a certain degree. But the game truly has the depth of an ocean if you want it to. The main game is very true to the Game Boy Color, and has pretty short dungeons that are very bite-sized and a respectable commitment to making this a perfect handheld experience. The music and graphics also really sells the illusion of being a pretty authentic Game Boy Color experience. I would describe this game as Zelda gameplay with a touch of Shantae aesthetics. The overworld while not being super huge size-wise, it is jammed packed with content. If you explore you'll always find someone to talk to and something to discover, plus every dungeon has some secret you'll want to find when you re-explore old areas with new gadgets. You will also find a small amount of life-sim adjecent features, such as developing your relationship with characters by spending time with them and helping them out. Eventually being able to marry one of the girls of your choosing. While I wouldn't necessarily say the life sim stuff was my favourite part, I did think the characters where very charming and I enjoyed when they unlocked a new dungeon, aswell as the emotional payoff to some of the more extensive side quests. One thing I really enjoyed is that most of the very hidden secrets rewards you exclusively with lore about the world. It was super interesting to learn more about the world and wow, some of the locations and events they talk about makes me wish we could explore there aswell. Please make a game in the frontier sometimes!!! Once you reach the post game, the game is something completely different. Suddenly it goes from this simple and short Zelda-like to an extensive exploration game with things to do everywhere, side quests galore and tons of secrets and content. My long playtime comes mostly from the post game content alone. When you start a new game you also have an extensive amount of challenge run potential with optional and very difficult curses, plus a built in randomizer. Prodigal is genuinely an incredible experience that is criminally underrated and dirt cheap. I can not recommend this game enough if you enjoy top down Zelda games. HOW IS THIS INCREDIBLE GAME ONLY SITTING AT JUST UNDER 600 REVIEWS.

I'm not the most experienced in Zelda-Likes but this one has got me thinking I should actively search them out. The game is deceptive because you'll be playing and vibing but not be really amazed on a moment to moment gameplay. But the moment you put it down it'll be a nagging at you like 'Damn lemme just hop back on and finish this quest real quick.' or '5 more minutes and im done' Its VERY easy to get sucked in and lose track of time. Talking about content, it just feels endless. There's always at least one thread that you can pull on that turns into a couple more hours of content to explore. 40 hours in and I still technically haven't seen everything. The content itself is a mixture of puzzles, combat and lore. The first 2 is what most people are going to mostly interact with (even though the lore is actually kinda nuts when you look into it). The combat is probably its weakest aspect but its serviceable. Its basic but gets the job done. THE PUZZLES ON THE OTHER HAND. God they're so good. Its mainly block pushing puzzles with a variety of tools that let you interact with every puzzle in a different way. I'm almost certain this wasn't intentional but there a couple of HIDDEN TECHNIQUES (mechanical exploits) These let you kind of approach each puzzle in a way that were definitely not intended in the base game. Its genuinely so fun messing around and discovering these HIDDEN TECHNIQUES and comparing how you solved sth with your friends. It reminds me of the Zelda: TotK shrines. But slightly more constrained. The music also slaps. Tidal Mines is top tier. All in All i had a great time with it

Prodigal is a deceptively large game. It starts out relatively simple, but even when you finish the main story of the game, it keeps going. Multiple hours can be spend uncovering each secret, exploring each dungeon, marrying each lady, collecting each item. Even after you think you've done everything. New challenge modes unlock on new game plus that will keep you playing. Every dungeon is designed with multiple puzzle solutions in mind, so you never feel stuck or frustrated. If you think you know everything about this game. I assure you, you don't. This coming from someone who's played this game for 400 hours, written guides, made dungeon maps and did almost every challenge this game can offer. This is one of my favorite games of all times. It's easy to pick up and play. The characters are all interesting and you want to get to know them. It is a game I wish i could forget and replay again.

Seriously fun with a lot of content. Its an action game but simple to moderate puzzles are the focus, with combat as a fun extra but not a huge challenge. Tons of character dialogues, a sort of incomprehensible, sprawling story that somehow works, end nearly endless post-game content. The main game is easy to finish and beyond that the world is very open ended. Colorful pixel graphics will appeal to some more than others. The controls aren't perfect but they don't need to be so there isn't much frustration. Areas can be restarted any number of times, iirc there isn't much penalty for dyng. Upgrades are generous special abilities are fun. It's fairly easy to stay alive. Dungeons are rewardingly complex and varied. There are some mild timing elements which I found OK for my non-impressive action skills though I normally hate such things. Towards the end some have longer sokoban type puzzles, which could use an undo option but it isn't critical. There is a parallel world to explore with a second set of characters, that reminds me somehow of the world of monsters from Final Fantasy IV, so that's a pretty nice nostalgia callback. A lot is made of the 'marriage dungeons' but this is just one layer of the overall content. It's actually fairly fun and a little silly feeling to collect all the wives. It can be done on a single profile if you save before each marriage and reload. I guess some people could find this problematic, I don't know, to me it seemed OK within the context of the game world. There's also a casino with showgirls and gambling, so perhaps not appropriate for under 13s. Nothing is explicit but some of the relationship stuff is a bit adult in theme. I've put nearly 40 enjoyable hours into Prodigal and still have some unfinished areas to go back to. I've bought two other Colorgrave games on strength of this one. Overall Prodigal just feels fun, and makes you want to keep playing.

I bought this because I thought it was a Link's Awakening style of game, but it is not: it's a sokoban game. If you're looking for something like Link's Awakening, you might be disappointed. But, for what the game is, I still enjoyed it.
