Fun as hell, especially if you enjoy the Penny Arcade style of humor though you don't need to know much about the comics since this is an AU, while it is a parody game it does have its serious moments and replaying it after finishing all episodes the foreshadowing in each episode is insane. 9/10, docked one point because they should have made Tycho and Gabe kiss.

Scribing a chortling appraisal of Gabe & Tycho's first transversal into the industry they've burlesqued for years is nugatory when compared to the imagined comic Penny Arcade would inevitably cast of their creation in three panels. [i](int. The bathroom section of a home improvement store) [h3](Panel 1)[/h3] (Tycho is in oblivious contemplative thought, meanwhile Gabe is looking at toilets)[/i] TYCHO "I never thought it was be this hard." GABE "Passing a turd that's been calcifying deep within is an ordeal." [i][h3](Pane 2)[/h3] (Gabe is in the process of unbuckling and unzipping his pants)[/i] TYCHO "Maybe if it were pinched into smaller pieces." GABE "This toilet is rated for several billiard balls!" [i][h3](Panel 3)[/h3] (Gabe is seated on the toilet, pants off. Customers and employees are aghast)[/i] TYCHO "Perhaps our ridicules have been unduly brutish before first-hand experience." GABE "I wouldn't pay me to take a dump on my own chest."

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
