The best $5 you'll ever spend.

Sony had a golden goose and they ruined it.

(I understand Sony has backpedaled their decision, however this review will stay until this game is purchasable once again in every country that it was de-listed from.)

Overall this game is... "fine"
If you really want it just get it on sale

I just personally feel your money is better spent on something with a bit more polish like "Escape Simulator".
However, I assume this is either a small dev or a sole individual and if so It it's pretty decent.
A lot of my issues come from some of the environments and how difficult it can be to maneuver (ie chairs in the saloon that block your way to reach puzzles), managing to even find some of the puzzles (most notably a few in the first room hidden behind/around shelves), and the wildly varying difficulty of the puzzles.

Some of the puzzles are easy enough, you have to at least think a bit, with a majority being decently challenging.
However, there's a select few where you can either accidentally brute force them while just trying to understand what you're looking at or testing it/messing around (tomb door code where I got the missing piece and immediately solved it while trying to understand the logic behind it and felt irritated as I found the solution without comprehending anything) or where the logic just can't seem to be found and the provided hints do little to help put you in the mindset or provide the required process to solve it (wall hexagon puzzle in the same tomb, which I also discovered was unnecessary to even accomplish to finish the area somehow).

Overall it's a fine 1-2 hour experience, but I'd only nab it for around $5 or so, and if you're desperate for an escape room type game.

It's a short, decent, co-op, escape/puzzle room game.
Also it's free.
Not a bad way to spend 20 min to an hour.

Overall a fairly fun and somewhat short Metroidvania.
Playtime is roughly 4-8 hours on a first run.
My only real complaints are the lack of any map, targeting with your tentacles can be kinda finicky at times, and later on movement can be somewhat difficult once you're larger.

If you're interested definitely pick this up on a sale.

An absolutely wonderful and relaxing game rich with atmosphere.

It's a very simple game, but I can't help but to go back and replay it over and over again.
The amazing soundtracks and wonderful visuals help for me to get lost in the simple act of unpacking.
It also helped that I enjoy noticing the small details you can pick up on the person's life as they move from place to place.

Can't recommend enough, and an absolute buy especially if you catch it on sale.

I cannot recommend this game enough if you're into relaxing, stress-free games.

This is one of my favorite games to play while listening to a podcast, video, movie, etc.
It's so enjoyable and cathartic to watch the filth covered objects becoming sparkling clean at the end of a session.
Especially when you get to view the little time-lapse video they show you at the end!
I also enjoyed the progression of upgrading my pressure washer and buying new equipment as I moved on up through jobs.
Even more so when you replay older jobs and see how much better your new equipment is.

I haven't even mentioned how much I love the writing in this game yet.
You receive various texts as you play the game, typically from the people that hired you or are wanting to hire you, and I'm always happy to read them to see what I've just received.
While the humor isn't necessarily gut busting, it has always put a smile on my face whenever I read the texts.
Also, the texts also begin to piece together a plot of sorts though the game but I'll let that be something you discover.

Fantastic yet simple game, can't recommend enough.
Easily worth the price.
Absolutely buy it if you have any interest and see it on sale.

While I did enjoy my time with the game itself I honestly can't recommend it.
It has a fun atmosphere, but that's kinda all I felt like it had going for it.

It labels itself as a puzzle game, but every problem is just build a bridge from A to B.
There is "occasionally" something that'll be introduced as a minor problem to overcome, but rarely.
Besides that there is a "creative mode" of sorts, but just kinda feels tacked on.
That along with performance issues, overall length at around 1-2 hours tops, and cumbersome block placement at times
makes this a game that I think is overpriced for what it is.

Overall maybe a 6/10 at best if you can get it for less than $10
Do not buy it at full price , as it doesn't feel worth the money

Comes with DLC 1 & 2, but doesn't include the "Expansion Pass" which is effectively DLC 3.
Incredibly irritating that it feels they're just trying to get more cash out of you.

If you like gundam, mecha, turn-based strategies then you'll find something to enjoy from this game.
I've been a fan of the G Gen series for a while and I enjoy seeing it evolve with each new release.
The main draw for me is making custom squads of my favorite characters, and self insert OC's of my friends and I and just go to town!
The only major downside for me is that this one requires an insane amount of grinding, more than other releases, but only if you want to go into the hardest difficulty at the end of the game.
That aside I've had a lot of fun with the hours I've pumped in and am looking forward to the next one!
