Cool game. Decent graphics, nice soundtrack and interesting enough gameplay. The overall charm, comedy and style of an "Old RPG" is also really fun. The story is probably the best part of the game, ESPECIALLY the latter half of the game. And while i encountered a few bugs, they were small and insignificant, nothing to ruin the game. The worst part of the game is the fact that there are SO MANY missable upgrades and collectables. That and the fact that there are no save states whatsoever. You miss a certain quest or upgrade and 9 times out of 10 you have to replay the WHOLE GAME. It makes it really annoying to get every achievement. But it's doable. Overall nice game. Recommend playing it ! 7.1/10 Timothy solos all of fiction, no room for discussion.

Not a particularly great game but it does a few cool things gameplay and story wise.

This game is extremely fun. Plotwise I think it's pushing the subversion a little too hard. Like, were you trying to get an award for most plot twists in a single cutscene in the lab?

Haven't finished it yet, I just got past the second world/chapter/whatever and I already love it. Elizabeth IV is my favorite character so far.

Overall a very lovely game. One of the best indie games I've ever had the pleasure of playing. It scratches the paper mario itch 10x better than bug fables, and is criminally under-rated. (Haven't played escape from ever after yet) The music is lovely. Admittedly, the chill and the ambient tracks are much better than the bright and peppy ones. The grassland area theme is a bit overbearing and dull, and the jungle theme isn't my favorite. But overall the music is absolutely wonderful. Characters are great. Stitches is an amazing and funny villain. Sword companion I understand people finding annoying at first, but its necessary for them to have character growth. Don't let negative reviews deceive you, if you have any modicum of patience you definitely come around to them by the end of the game. Also the funny butterfly is good. Story is also wonderful. It doesn't have to be complicated to be good. It has more complexity than the first two paper mario games, maybe less than super paper mario, but that's fine. The artstyle is wonderful. My only complaint is el salsarissimo looks extremely generic. Other than that everything is lovely. The gameplay is wonderful. The combat is some of the best of any RPG I played. Its engaging but isn't extraordinarily difficult either. It strikes a great balance. The platforming is very fun. Negatives: The ice skating minigame is kinda bad, but it isn't a huge deal. Apparently it isn't programmed correctly to account for different controllers. It definitely messed me up and I thought it was just a steam issue the first time I played. But no its just agnostic to your controller apparently (I could be wrong, the minigame isn't that good regardless). There's two small bugs. Sometimes the camera randomly pans up when talking to enemies. Its weird. Also there's a softlock area you can fall into and lose progress. The one I know of is in the dark maze. I really wish those bugs would be patched but it seems unlikely. There's other things like being in a falling state when jumping on the edge of a moving platformer, or the collision being weird with the portal floor panels, but they don't cause actual issues and are more funny than anything.
