Double Fine at their Double-Finest
Costume Quest is an explorative collectathon-ish game with turn-based QTE combat, charming visuals and characters, and a lovely imaginative story. It's typical Double Fine in the sense that the gameplay isn't particularly interesting or varied, even though there are a few different things to do - apple bobbing, trick-or-treating, fighting and so on - but the overall creativity is very engaging. Unfortunately gameplay gets a bit stale after the first hour, especially the main part of the game: combat. You collect different costumes for your party of (eventually) three and each of them has its own unique ability, some of which have their use during exploration as well. The combat, however, no matter which costumes you use, always consists of "Press Button - do QTE - Watch Carnage - do QTE 1-3 times - Repeat". Visually it's great, and when I say imaginative I mean that it's quite a throwback to playing pretend as a kid, but it does get repetitive pretty quickly. The costumes are what keeps it from becoming entirely boring, at least, since the designs and individual attack animations can change things up a bit, and seeing each for the first time is fun and almost wondrous. The dialogue is fun, the non-reused (enemy) characters are memorable and interesting, the environments are varied enough (though sometimes slightly confusing to navigate). There are two campaigns, the main Costume Quest and a follow-up called Grubbins on Ice; I started the latter but will admit I have not finished it because I was a bit worn out by the main campaign's gameplay, something that doesn't change much in this DLC. It's a fine game, and I recommend it for its whimsical nature and the sheer fun to be found in it, but its gameplay does leave a lot to be desired.
