Baby Steps

this is a game

Did not click with me. I can handle the difficulty and failure, but there isn't enough reward or interesting stuff to make the exploration feel worth it. Taken a couple runs at it, but despite liking the concept and humor I don't like the execution.

The butt physics alone are worth the price but its also super fun

good

Was very excited for this when it came out, but it's a prime example of "juice ain't worth the squeeze" for me. Cut scenes have been hilarious but few and far between; Nate toppling over gets old; there's a lot of dead-time between ridiculous challenges that don't respect your time. I guess I'm more into games that *want* me to play them these days. This one feels like it doesn't. Like, Elden Ring puts you right outside the boss battle to go again when you fail, or you can just gear up and go again in Tarkov - both brutally punishing games. The punishment necessary in the repetition of discovery and failure feels too severe here for the limited, and often frustrating, controls - compounded further by the lack of reward given, in my opinion, too few cut scenes (or spread too thin). If you're the GOAT goat, maybe this one's for you! But I'm getting more fun-per-dollar elsewhere.

Not your average rage game, surprisingly funny and addictive, lots of content. [spoiler] ♥♥♥♥ that stupid green tower [/spoiler]
