Would you prefer a speckled hog, a dead dog or Kermit the log. i wouldn't've known if it wasn't've for the game i've'd been shown. Women a tad too much, the man who made i wouldn't've hold a grudge. Really be wary, the price of this game is quite scary.

While there are a considerable amount of flaws, I would recommend this game because it has a lot of effort put into it, the characters are great, and there is so much more than I expected to see. The map is expansive with many places to visit and different things to do. The gameplay is unique and offers a variety of original combat methods that are actually really fun. It is easy to get attached to this game and play it for hours at a time. The story is cute and the two main characters have a good dynamic. The feature that allows them to have conversations about certain things in the game is a nice touch. I ended up growing attached to this duo as the story progressed. The different stages are creative and fun to explore. Many of the jokes land, some getting harder laughs out of me than I care to admit. Like I mentioned before, the combat methods are also fun to try out. The grappling hook, the snake, the fire cat, and others make for some one of a kind battles. However, there are a few areas that I'd say require improvement. Much of this game relies on the player finding secrets, both for special items and to continue in a few dungeons. However, there is little to no guidance gi…

This is a fun game that reminds me of The Legend of Zelda series. It is a bit difficult and there are no guides or hints anywhere at all for this game. I am not sure how to make a guide up myself to help others with this game, but I do have a couple of hints on the Achievements that I have learned so far. They will be at the bottom of this review. First, here are some Pros and Cons: Pros: 1. Similar to The Legend of Zelda series starting out with very basic equipment and finding more as you play and explore. 2. Decent-sized world map as well as some interesting layouts to dungeons, towers, caves, tunnels, and other such places. 3. Can be played with a controller. 4. Quirky and somewhat kinky dialogue that at times seems to be a cheap entertainment and at times seems to be deep. 5. 2 different Characters you play as, Violet & Azure, with the option to split them up temporarily in the same area. Cons: 1. Very little help in terms of what new equipment does if you don't pay attention to the dialogue. 2. No mini-map function and the in-game map (TAB to access it when you get it) only shows the world map you are on, but not your actual location in said area. 3. The keyboar…

Final Fantasy XI price: what you pay, then keep paying

The Final Fantasy XI price is two numbers, and the subscription is the one that matters. Our tracked low, what the Ultimate Collection includes, and when buying at list is correct.

Castlevania Belmont's Curse price: which edition to buy

The Castlevania Belmont's Curse price splits in two: Steam charges full list, authorised resellers a quarter less. Our record says that 25% has not moved since June, and is the floor.

Hogwarts Legacy price history: where the floor really is

Our Hogwarts Legacy price history runs to 100 daily readings and a $3.99 median. Why the sub-dollar figure in search results is noise, and what to actually pay.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.
