The game world is eerie, funny, unnerving and jolly all at the same time. *real*, y'know? Like it has real substance and soul poured into every bit of it. The visuals and soundtrack are an absolute feast- the stop motion animated world is glorious to take in and experience and the soundtrack is stellar- bizarre, catchy, atmospheric. I’m sick of being spoon-fed everything through tutorials and overly-obvious hints, Armikrog felt like a breath of fresh air- which, ironically, also felt like it came from the past. To me, that’s… honestly a wonderful thing. At first I was confused at the consistent, mediocre 6/10 reviews- aside from a few bugs it’s a really solid and wonderful game with a lot of character and real soul to it… and then I realised why it’s getting these reviews- it totally feels like a straight-up late 90′s PC point and click adventure game- to me this makes it feel super real and authentic to the kind of experience I wanted from it, but I guess a modern mainstream audience wants something more immediate and faster paced? Like, this game requires a lot of patience and thought, and it’s immensely rewarding- but now that I think about it, I haven’t actually played a modern game like that for years- not a game that really drops you in and asks you to figure out your own way so totally- there’s no tutorial, no explanations, nothing- you just carve your own path.
