It's just funny enough, replayable enough, simple enough, deep enough, clever enough, and entertaining enough to go back to over and over. Sometimes, it might be a little too entertaining, with a very "just one more game" hook.
Some of the other reviews have mentioned that the game is short, and that the puzzles might feel lacking. They aren't wrong. There are only a few puzzles that have more than two layers to unravel, and the entire third act is "contextual" in terms of problem solving. You interact with the correct location, and if you have what you need in inventory, it works in all but one case. The climax is more of a cutscene than a problem, as well. I like the game, and the level of effort put into evoking nostalgia is admirable. The voice acting is also a worthwhile addition. Overall, the frustrating streamlinedness of the final act keep Guard Duty from getting five stars, but it's absolutely worth playing if you don't mind the whole thing basically being in easy mode.
Slay the Princess is less a game an more of a philosophical discussion about morality and reality. The longer you go, the more complex it gets and the more shades of grey you encounter. Unless you don't. And that's just the nature of the game.
If you want to kill a lot of things, blow stuff up, and die of spider bites more times than you can count, this is the game for you!
