10/10 music 9/10 game with story as tragic as its creators, exploring philosophy, death, God, friendship and the decay of small towns. this game is not for everyone people from he city will find it difficult to understand because it focuses on small things and dialogues that seem to have little value, but it makes it human and gives a soul to this game
didn't click。I'm already a directionless idiot of a teenager in real life babe😊No need to play one in a game too.
This game resonated with my life a little bit. Loved every second of this game, definitely gonna replay it in the future
Amazing, captivating story. beautiful vısuals and music. Simply one of the most beautiful games I've ever played
This is not a game. It is a VIBE. Core gameplay mechanics: Dialogues, minigames, routine in a small town. You can play the first 30 minutes of the game and see if it clicks for you. If it does, you're in for a ride. If it doesn't, you better become back youre money because the whole game will be more and more of that. For myself, this became one of my favorite games. Mae is my spirit animal.
After watching Night in the Woods on YouTube in 2017, I picked it up again, remembering it pretty fondly. I remembered correctly, but forgot just how brilliant this game is. At its core, NITW is a narrative 2D platformer. Now, that may sound boring as hell, and it certainly is not for everyone. But it is for everyone who wants to lay back, read stories and grow attached to some amazingly written characters. Other reviews are not kidding here: This game is a narrative masterpiece. Dialogues manage to ring all across the emotional spectrum, from witty to comical, to tragic, to melancholic, to cringy (in a good way) and much more. Do yourself a favor and give this game a go. Take an evening for yourself and play it an hour. You'll quickly fall in love with everything this game has to offer. And if you do not, well, you can still refund :) At the time of writing, I still have a lot to replay of the game, so you most certainly get your moneys worth if you buy this full price- which you should. It is just that good.
