AND THEN YOU LIKE JUMP IN THE AIR AND YOU GO "THWIP WHOOOOSH" AND THEN YOU'RE LIKE "THIPTHIPTHIPTHIPTHIP" AND WEB UP THAT GUY AND KICK THAT GUY INTO THE AIR AND EVERYBODY IS LIKE "AH THANKS SPIDER-MAN" AND YOU'RE LIKE "Just doin my job" AND JUMP OFF A WALL AND LAND ON A BUILDING AND YOU JUST SIT THERE LIKE "Damn..."
"Spider-Man is fucking awesome."

The art direction in this game is criminally underrated. Bugsnax feels like an adaptation of a long-running children's show like Sesame Street, but it's completely original. The creativity on display here is remarkable, with surreal humor and music to fit the mood of every scene. My only flaws are that it took too long for me to care about the characters for the ending to have the payoff it could have had for me, and fetching bugsnax for the same people got a little tedious after a few hours. However, the slight tedium is alleviated every once in a while as new types of snax with new strategies to capture are introduced. Young Horses' brand of surreal humor is wonderful as always

Fall Guys

So this is the second review I'm writing of this game, as I feel like a lot of my thoughts on it have changed since the first review. Simply put, this game lost me big time and I haven't played it in months. I'm not entirely sure what Fall Guys had to do in order to keep my attention, but it's whole structure, reward system, gameplay, everything just got so old to me. I was just tired of playing the same minigames, more than half of which I can't stand. I also really don't like the naming system, I think it's insane that the game never allowed players to have their actual name, which would make things so much easier and more enjoyable.
I just feel kind of dumb for getting really into this game that ended up having no legs at all, which people rightfully pointed out at the beginning but I was having enough fun that I didn't care until now, when the fun ran out. I still have some fondness for this game, and I'm sure if a friend ever randomly asked me to join them in a game I would, but overall I'm pretty disappointed by how quick I lost any interest.
