Review proteans 5/5 · Dec 15, 2017
"I believe in a universe that doesn't care and people who do."
Probably the most sincere adventure-but-not game I've played, full of heart and sprinkled with enough good gags that I can afford to play it without totally wanting to die. The last hour was a little sus, though.

Keep it short and simple: Night in the Woods has memorable characters and an even better art style. The music adds a sense of intrigue to it, and it tackles its issues in a mature but relatable way. You just walk around and occasionally do mini-games like a rhythm game, or smashing things with a bat, shooting water at people, etc, which does help break it up a little and keep it slightly more fresh than it could have been.
My only real criticism is that it's repetitive, in the sense that you often start a day and then walk the same roads to go to the same places. This isn't a grand adventure, and is decidedly more low-key than some other games in the genre, but it does become a little bit monotonous. It doesn't tank the game by any means, considering I still rate it an 8.5, but it is a small problem.
