The Gunk

Had a lot of fun navigating the world. It's not a HARD game by any mean, but it was fun and I wanted to continue playing.

You walk from point a to b, clean up, repeat. All combined with a rather bland story that has no memorable moments. The world looks nice tho, I just wish they put more gameplay into it.

A good game to pass the time on a rainy day when you have nothing to do

This is a very beautiful game about exploring an alien world and - you guessed it - saving that planet from death. The premise is cliché but the execution is wonderful: The graphics and especially the gunk look wonderful, the platforming and puzzles are light. The banter between the protagonist and her partner are interesting and fresh - not the regular gruff adventurer machismo. I finished it in about 5 hours and in the course of it only died a very few times. There were maybe two, three puzzles that had me stumped for a short while but nothing frustrating. I can imagine this is excellent to play with kids.

I was looking for something to get me through to my next great game, and this one turned out to be pretty great itself. It's not especially challenging, but there is some challenge, or deep like some of the legendary games out there, but it is fun to play with lush scenery once you get rid of The Gunk. Most of the puzzles are fairly simple to solve, but there are a couple that make you think. You often have to go right to go left and down to go up, which is just part of the exploratory nature of the game. Combat is not difficult, but still, a fight or two will require some strategy. All in all, I liked it and would recommend it to others looking for something to hold them over til the next big thing.
