This made for two delightful evenings. It is actually more of a 3.5 star, but I love how lean this is while it still manages to be funny. It has some deeper mechanics, but you are not required to get your feet stuck in the mud. Instead, you get to ride the hilarious comic concept to its quick and satisfying conclusion
I played this on Playstation but that is not listed as an option
This is the game equivalent of watching meme videos on youtube for two hours, except that you need some geek and internet culture knowledge to enjoy it. Combat and puzzles are completly bland, the story is slightly funny, music and art are fine. The only thing that makes this game have a 95% on steam is the humor, wich is based on current internet culture, memes and the pandemic, wich will make it go stale in a year or two. I'll give it three stars because it's cheap, it feels polished and it made me laugh.
P.S.: contains Portal and Jojo's bizarre adventure references
Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is a classic 2D action-adventure game with all the great elements of the genre. The campaign is a little short but has a fun setting, full of good-natured jokes and nice combat and exploration. This results in a good option for lovers of this style of play.
What a goofy little game. It's short, it's cute, it's worth checking out. Nice diversion for a few hours, but isn't anything super amazing.
This is another fantastic Indie game I never would have picked up if not for word of mouth and Xbox Game Pass. This game puts you in the shoes of a turnip who did not pay his taxes so he gets kicked out of his house and essentially must go on an adventure to try and get it back. Along your journey you will encounter mafia vegetables, radioactive deer, and other random encounters that keep the game exciting and the humor fresh. This game can be completed in just a handful of hours, but if you can find it on sale or through Game Pass, don't pass it up!
This was a fun, cute, and silly game. It's super short, so it's a good thing I got it for free. Story was a bit darker than I was expecting, it actually made me a bit sad. Usually not a fan of referential humor, but it works for this game. I guess it helps that the game is so short so the writing doesn't get stale.
This is free in the Epic store this week:

Next week we get Golden Light.
I've been playing this on the Switch & love how silly it is, a lot of fun. My main issues are the animation that plays before the big bosses (Liz & Onion) are cute the first time but get beyond annoying when you've died several times and have to rewatch it every time. I also wish you could take items out of your hand rotation so you don't have to click through so many options when they aren't all necessary.
Still thoroughly enjoyed the game & wish it went on a little longer.
It's a 2-3 hour game that's really fun to play if you are in the mood for a light-hearted game that doesn't take itself very seriously.
It is a little bit meta but honestly quite fun game.
pretty darn cute lil game, based off zelda top down style and it's got a jojo reference, very much enjoyed the subtly dark theme throughout the game that just gets darker and darker as it progresses
gets a lil meta if you're into that, brings up something about 2020 (no spoilers) but overall extremely enjoyable 4/5 for sure
