OK, Psychonauts beat! Good game, thanks for the rec everyone. Lots of great stuff but clear areas to improve upon, so I'm excited to see the sequel. My hopes are they'll improve the pacing (seriously like 40% of this game is tutorials!), the platforming, and ideally the ending won't be so... weird. I also look forward to seeing the mental health themes expanded on, with 15 years more growth there's a lot they could do to flesh it out!

The last level was indeed not great. In addition to the focus on the subpar platforming, who the heck thought it was a good idea to centre an entire level's aesthetic on meat! They don't even do anything fun with it, it's just giant hunks of meat floating around and everything looks all red and gross. In general I felt like they rushed the ending hour or two, the stuff with Raz's dad doesn't get any time to breathe and they wrap up the asylum too fast. The game felt like it needed another level at the top of that area, either from Loboto or the turtle or the woman idk but it needed something else. Also the trip up there was not very fun lol.

I'm complaining too much but I really liked this game a lot! The vibes were great and it's easy to see how a sequel could clean up the rough areas. Just trim the fat and add more m-... add more substance.

Milkman Conspiracy > Black Velvetopia > Waterloo World > Lungfishopolis > Gloria's Theater > Meat Circus. The rest are pretty much tutorials and I'd have a hard time ranking them.
