I went in blind and was pleasantly surprised by the 25+ hour insanity this game delivers. It's a pretty good mecha-fighter but the dialouge and style is the meat and potatoes for me here. Most of this game is spent walking around adventure-game style and following superbly voice acted dialouge. The writing is so strange and hops back and fourth between poop jokes and serious themes, but without the sense of whiplash one would expect. It's very sure of its own identity and wears its influences proudly. I think the best word to describe the tone here is "eccentric". I was hooked from beginning to end and would often have a big disgusting smirk on my face. This game is fresh, it's funny, it's utterly stupid and brilliant at times. Give it a chance, there aren't a lot of games like Wolfstride out here, let alone so confidently well executed. Definitely keeping my eye on the devs in the future.
Really happy with how this looks and sounds. I've always loved the series and recommended the telltale games on account of their witty writing making up for charming but unimpressive graphics. Now I just think it just looks great, the color splash and tweaking is putting some serious life in the game without stepping on the original vision. It feels like this was always what it was supposed to look like. Now I understand a lot of people down here are outraged over the altered dialouge. I understand that it seems largely unessecary, it's not like Sam & Max have ever been particularly edgy. As I understand it though, it doesn't look like a businessman walked into an office and told the devs to change anything. They just felt like it was better or safer to change some lines. The way I see it, this is made by developers of the original games and they decided to play it more safe with the remaster, which I respect. Their names will be on this project and nowadays it's best to make sure you can stand by it. If they wanna make sure they don't step on toes, that's fine with me. It's not really noticeable, especially when the overall work here is really solid stuff, The originals will be re-released soon as well for all the historians out there. I'm just happy to see my boys again.
