SOPA - Tale of the Stolen Potato

A cute Studio Ghibli style adventure game, where you are a young boy on a fantastic journey on the hunt for the potato stealing frog that stole your grandmothers potatoes, end escaped into a hidden portal in the pantry... It's a bit jank, especially the camera and there where some minor glitches, nothing game breaking, but noticable. It looks pretty good, with colorful cartoony graphics, but the voices are the typical gibberish sounds that where popular in N64 games, I get that it's for cost saving reasons, but i do feel a game that tries to be a cartoon would be better served with real voice action. The gameplay is mostly typical inventory puzzles and the story is funny in a silly wholesome way and does end with sequel bait. Hopefully this does well enough to make the sequel possible, because minor complaints aside, this was a fun game. My game time was however greatly inflated due to keeping the game on. It's more like 2 hours if you don't care about achievements and just want to play the game, I also left the game running for a while, The achievements however are surpringly tricky for what feels like a child friendly game. There are several missable dialogue ones taht you onl…

Such CHARM!!! If you ♥♥♥♥ with Grim Fandango and Sam & Max, you'll dig on Sopa. So funny and clever, and such a sense of heart. I lol'ed so many times. Also kinda has that old school, Never Ending Story/Lion Witch & Wardrobe mystical vibe. Where things feel mythical and close to reality but also kinda off. I really enjoyed it.

This game was such a colorful delight. I loved the wacky little characters we met throughout and all the absurd situations we were put in. The music and soundscape were lovely. Everything feels whimsical and magical. The camera could be a little bit wonky from time to time but not in a way that was game breaking.

Very pretty game with a fun and silly story. Never felt like I ever got stuck in a section and exploration is rewarding, never felt like a chore.

Absolutely beautiful game!

Such a sweet little cozy adventure game. It was just challenging enough to be fun, but easy enough to really shut your brain off and just feel good while playing. Strongly recommend.
