Drinkbox Studios is a favorite of mine. I've enjoyed everything I've played from them. This brief adventure is no exception.

I played through a completionist playthrough in co-op, which was a blast. The writing is often funny, which is increasingly hard to find in video games and the avatar is a quirky little dude, despite being essentially faceless.

But while the world is rather large and the cast of archetypes you can embody fairly extensive, everything is a bit samey. Combat stays essentially the same, no matter the form you take. Gnaw as a rat or strike as a soldier. The dungeons are randomly generated and offer variety in modifiers but little else.

It was worth the initial adventure, but NG+ started to drag, even after taking a 6-month break.
