I've always been someone who loves Halloween, and probably always will be. So, it should be no surprise that when I found out about Costume Quest, I was pretty excited. However, since I'm cheap, I never really thought about buying it until now (GoG is selling it for $1.99 as of 2015/06/12). I picked it up, and it is quite a fun little thing. It's an RPG first thing, with turn-based battling that actually reminds me a bit of Pokémon. That will make no sense if you've never played it, but trust me, it makes sense when you play it, and it works beautifully. The design of the game is really something else. I've never seen a game made like this, the games art, though limiting through hand-drawn-looking art, is quite expressive and fun to look at. The orange colours everywhere remind me of Halloween, and that makes me happy. The narrative of the game is actually funny. There are several characters who are there to deliver humourous lines, and they do so. It actually made me crack a smile, which doesn't happen too commonly with games! Performance is fine. 30FPS cap, but that really isn't too big of a deal. Overall, if you're a Halloween lover like myself, you'll like, or even love this game. Even if you're not a Halloween lover, you may still find some enjoyment out of the enjoyable Pokémon-like battle sequences. 9.5/10
