If we could give games "mixed" reviews, that's what i'd give this game. Ultimately, i recommend IF you enjoy playing games for the story and aesthetic. I really enjoyed the devs' humor and the sharp artstyle & coloring, and the overall message and worldbuilding; the themes are appealing and interesting. Enjoyed the mc's attitude against the humans and the music built a nice vibe. The collectibles aren't too hard to find, so this part is satisfying if you enjoy 100%ing games. HOWEVER, very frustrating gameplay. I liked the puzzles and platforming, the mechanics were fine and mostly there to support the story, which i don't mind at all. But i found the grabbing animation cranky, like i'd jump on bars and branches and if even if the height was fine i had to come at an angle from above for the character to grab the elements. Fell NUMEROUS times because of this, including in sections where i had to go fast (level speedrun for achievement) or where falling meant dying (electricity). The chapter selection helped, otherwise i would've flipped.

Domestic Games Reivew #3 Follow up to the Golf Club Nostalgia. Platformer where you run all the time from your hunters and getting collectables along the way, listening to Radio Nostalgia like usual. It can be finished in a few hours and generally it is a fun experience. I liked the parkour segments when you are hunted and where you are constantly on the edge, trying to do things perfectly. Like in previous game, "Disney" animation style is top notch. After game end, there are several interesting challenges which can be done via chapter replay, giving some more time with the game and towards 100% completition.

Great artwork, simple gameplay, tongue in cheek story, a bit short (finished it in 2-3 hours) but very enjoyable.

cool game, not very long but I don't mind especially for this price. Design, spirit, story line, all simple, funny and great, it works :). Nothing fussy but some cool surprises (events & design wise), I full recommend this game :).

Just played through the entire game in one sitting today. Took me roughly 3.5 hours while dying a lot lol and exploring as much as I can. Its a really fun game with cool mechanics and a beautiful post apocalyptic world with a interesting story. There's some funny stuff in the game too and I feel like its a pretty realistic depiction of how humans would be in this type of apocalypse. Love the radio, love the different mechanics in each chapter. My favourite was the Bison part I think but it was all very enjoyable. Worth the money. I hope they make another game. If you enjoy the Little Nightmare games play style you will more than likely enjoy this too. Good stuff.
