« Simply outstanding game. Cute story, great jokes and an adorable pig best friend. Ignore any bad reviews (currently only one) talking about the mini-game-like nature of combat since you can turn that off entirely if you don't vibe with it. »

« I hate when RPGs are just timed minigames and reaction tests. No strategy, all reflexes. Couldn't enjoy what seems like a decent story because gameplay is so annoying. »

« More like Hermit and Pog. Because the art and dialogue is actually pog (and the OST is a bop). I have only played an hour so far but have had felt a bunch of lil' nostalgia bombs from the gameplay and style alone. Shrooms/10 »
