Hilarious dark satire on video games and the western film genre. The humor is well balanced and doesn't get too stupid with the silly moments. Fantastic adventure RPG set to a gorgeous soundtrack.

DO NOT EAT THE TURNIP So...this is the AAAA gaming everyone's talking about. I can't recommend this game enough, it's full of charm, humour, puzzles and adventure. Behind its silly simple graphics is the story that I will be returning to again, knowing that even after my two playthroughs there still be secrets to be found. This game has so much to offer but it's both the benefit and the flaw. I have to warn you that some puzzles and quests can get a bit convoluted. On one hand, uncovering the mysteries feels very rewarding, on the other, sometimes you don't even know what to look out for. Or it requires a random encounter. Or you locked yourself out of the whole chunk of content because of some insignificant decision or not showing up prepared enough. One particular choice made me very frustrated when the game told me that there's BETTER way to deal with the enemy AFTER I dealt with it (and an hour or so of gameplay). Like, no need to rub it in my face, game, I see the person who commits despicable crimes, I get trigger-happy. All my frustration was gone though when I reached the ending of the game and the cutscene made me smile so much, I love this game and Im sure you'll love it too. It's like playing a tabletop game with fun and creative DM who will put up with your endless shenaningans but will also mess with you. Also fck Ghostwood, all my homies hate Ghostwood.
