Wonderfully weird with a badge of cuteness is the best way I'd describe this game to people. Gurumin prides itself in being a simple story with a charming cast of characters you'll follow around and spend time with. Visually it has aged gracefully with its sharp low-poly aesthetic with alot of visual splendor in its areas you explore.

Gameplay is alot more fluid than I thought it would be, Parin is fun to control with her drill in tow, you definitely get alot of use out of it for sure. But I do feel like the upgrades do clutter things a little bit. The game also has a bit of archaic design where you have to open up a menu to swap between parts for your drill, change accessories, etc. It's not a massive deal breaker though it only takes a few seconds and you hop back into action in no time.

Overall, the game is very cozy, should only take you a weekend to complete it. Defs recommend it as a breather you can play with while you're chipping away at longer games, or if you just want something easy and fun to pick up and chill with. The game always goes on sale for dirt cheap so you cannot go wrong with scooping it up!
