Thirsty Suitors is an incredibly charming game with a strong emotional core brought down by its boring turn-based combat and some pacing issues. Admittedly, the combat has a fun thematic framing but on the gameplay side of things it feels really flat and uninteresting from the third fight onwards. The skateboarding is more interesting, though I found the controls a little too clunky to really enjoy it. But: I loved how overly expressive every animation was, how each of the boss fights had their own visual theme and accompanying soundtrack how the game portrays its themes of intergenerational trauma and the complexities of interpersonal relationships within marginalized communities and how much joy the game still evokes while tackling these themes. Those elements is what I'll be remember this game by, I think. And those memories will be fond ones.
