« best game ever, would recommend to everyone who has less then 4 iq and and likes cheese »👍 anonymous review · 0 h played11« if you want to throw yourself down a hill while chasing a wheel of slightly mouldy cheese. this is a good game. otherwise its a bit odd »👍 anonymous review · 0 h played111« As a cheese, I felt loved and cherished to the fullest. Everyone wanted to put their hands on me, and that was a rare and uncanon event. »👍 anonymous review · 1 h played5« Words cannot express how peak this is. Clair Obscur, Hades II, Silksong, move aside. Hell, GTA6 should be happy it didn't release this year, for its chances at GOTY would be nil. Truly, this is the apex of modern gaming. »👍 anonymous review · 0 h played2211« Times change, empires and kingdoms fall, bones turn to dust, dust to ashes; and even yet, through this endless mire, the cheese rolls forever still - though not until the end of time, for it is outside of it. »👍 anonymous review · 1 h played5111« Literally Changed my life. My wife and kids came back. I got promoted at work and now my net worth is over 10 billion. If you want success in life, play this game! »👍 anonymous review · 0 h played1111
