Unlike most people, I played the Henry Stickmin Collection with no prior experience with any of the flash games that make up this series. I have never once played one of these games, and my only real exposure to it was watching a YouTuber I like play "Stealing the Diamond" about three years ago. So, I don't have any nostalgia tinted goggles influencing me here.

So, what do I think? The Henry Stickmin Collection is incredible. These games are so much fun, they're wacky, and they make choice based elements and quick time events, two gameplay elements that are usually shoehorned into games as cheap gimmicks, actually fun. And that's all the gameplay that there is!

There are 6 main stories that you go through here. They start off shorter, and get progressively more involved with each entry. If I had to choose one as my favorite, it would definitely be Completing the Mission, which is the last game in the Collection, made exclusively for it, and by far the largest and most passionately created.

There are a ton of achievements, 82 in all, which aren't super challenging to do, but take time, and are random and fun. Bios, information about the random characters, are collectibles that you receive for right-clicking on each character that you come into contact with. I personally enjoyed this aspect of the game, as I like collectibles, and found the bio descriptions hilarious and full of humorous references (which describes the game as a whole.

The only bad thing I have to say about this game would be the bugs. First of all, the game, by default, plays in small window. You can turn on fullscreen, but when you do, you get a warning message that this makes the game unstable, and prone to freezing and crashing. I can confirm that this is definitely the case, as I had my game crash about once every 20 minutes. It's not that big a deal, as you can just restart it, and you don't lose progress, but it's very annoying. That's the most important thing that the developers absolutely NEED to fix!

Second, there are times in the animation where the frame rate just plummets for a couple of seconds for no reason. It's not always in the same spot either, because if you come back later and replay that scene, it will work fine. It appears to just be poor optimization, and should also be addressed.

Other than that, I can't say anything bad about this game. I absolutely loved it, and I think fans of this series, or people who like quirky indie games in general, will get a lot of enjoyment out of this!

I personally don't think $15 is too high a price for this game, as it really is a quality game. Some people seem to think that if you don't get a certain number of hours of entertainment out of a game, that it isn't worth the money. I don't necessarily agree, because I think shorter titles that maintain a high and consistent quality experience for 10 hours are far more worth the money than one where half of the gameplay is busy work for 40 hours. Regardless, if you don't think 10 hours of gameplay is enough to warrant a $15 purchase, then I'd recommend you wait for a sale. I can easily see this going for $5 during a holiday sale.

I hope you found this review helpful! Please leave me a rating, and give me your thoughts in the comments, as I would love to hear feedback, ideas, and what personal experiences you've had with this title.
