    It gives me big 'A short hike' vibes, definately going to try this, loved the review! Really let the game be what it wants to be, and didnt judge it by weird 'standards'.

    I recently finished Lil Gator Game and loved its visual style and heartfelt story. 1:50 I also picked pose number 2! Also, if it helps, you can move the camera further away from your character by making changes in the game’s settings.

    This game is so wholesome and innocent it's just good clean fun and naive in a good way it tries to capture that innocence and sense of mystery and adventure you had as a little kid growing up.
    It's on Gamepass to try worth it for the feelz.

    This is an almost perfect game that I really want to play. The only gripe I have, and sadly it’s a really major gripe is the price. Why is a three hour game worth $20? I suppose that it’s to support indie devs. If that is then I really would want to, but isn’t $20 for an earnestly short game like this a bit much? If this was $10, then that’s at least reasonable. But $19.99? Thanks, but No. I think this is the case of waiting for a price drop.

    • @Daehpo
      @Daehpo Рік тому +1

      Yeah, $10 would be more approachable. Currently(Dec 15) it's $13.99 on both Switch & Steam, but lots of games are on sale. For example: On Switch you can pick up Celeste($4.99), Untitled Goose Game($9.99), and even Hades($12.49) for less.
      I guess you can re-frame it as buying a dinner for someone or, like Noah said, a night at the movies. It's always your call tho. I remember buying Webbed as soon as it came out on Switch just cause of how perfect it was for me and loved every second of it.

    • @LAZY-RUBY

    • @mrzeegamez
      @mrzeegamez Рік тому +1

      I agree. People are comparing it to the movie theater, but they really are two very different mediums and the movie theater also includes a giant screen, surround sound, and rooms made for acoustics. Comparing it to other video games, I have played games for less than $20 with 50+ hours of gameplay.

    Good, but very short. Wait for a sub $10 sale. You are not going to miss much by waiting a few months for a sale imo.
