It's...okay. The big twist of Pony Island is that it's not about ponies or an island at all, and it's instead something else entirely. It's very good about building on the bits of knowledge it's already given you in order to tutorialize throughout the whole experience without shoving any abrupt explanations in your face about some new game element, so you feel clever when you solve a problem, like you figured it out entirely on your own even though your thought process was probably exactly what the developer wanted you to go through. Presentation-wise, it's kind of clever, a little bit irreverant about its subject matter at times, which comes across as odd when a lot of the hints at the "lore" seem to suggest it's meant to be taken more seriously. It's one of those games that works far better if you play it yourself rather than watch someone else play it, and there are several points where the narrative/game design tricks they pull honestly made me laugh. But overal, I disagree with the overwhelmingly positive rating the title is being given right now, and I don't think I'd recommend it. It's not awful, it's just that your money is just better spent elsewhere.
