I wanted to love this so much. The world is beautifully realized, the characters are fun with their own quirks, and the hand-crafted claymation art style is one of the most breathtaking I've seen in a video game. But it's such a slog to actually play that all the good elements fade away to time marching on, you getting older and then realizing it's only been 15 minutes. There's just so little gameplay here and it all moves so purposely slow that it sucks any sense of joy or wonder the rest of the game may have filled you with. This is essentially a walking simulator which is fine, those games have their place but the best ones move, Harold Halibut crawls. You slowly walk from one area to the next, press the interact button on things and that's it. And the game is 10 hours. Once I start checking the time while I'm playing a game it means it's lost me and Harold Halibut lost me fairly quickly but it felt much longer.
