      I’ve been enjoying it. I’d recommend a try, but not for the full sticker price. I’m pretty sure there’s a free demo available.

      A simple start-to-finish (any%) run is super duper easy, but some of the mechanics are pretty fun and the cinematic element makes me smile a lot. But you could prolly get a good feel for the latter just watching videos of playthroughs.

      However… A 100% run can be VERY frustrating. The cute cinematics are mostly unskippable – you can’t even button-mash to speed up the dialog. Also, the stages don’t really allow for backtracking. So if you miss something, you have to start all the way back at the beginning. I got stuck on one stage and put off playing for weeks cuz it was so annoying. “Welcome to the Spooky Party”, grrr…

      Once I got past that though, it got fun again (and inspired this post hehe). The post-game challenges have been pretty neat so far.

      7/10 new, 8/10 used, 9/10 borrowed from a friend for a weekend

      If you have a PC, there are multiple Switch emulators. I can see a torrent of this game from 6 months ago with over 80 seeds. Then you can try the game out yourself before buying.

      Metacritic user score is 7.2. For all I know, however, there’s people triggered by pink lowering that score, because “GAMES AREN’T FOR GIRLS???”, even though Pacman came out in 1980 and was designed specifically to appeal to everyone in order to be more successful (and it worked).

    If this means you are searching for recommendations: I liked the cosmic wheel sisterhood a lot! It was very affirming and you can feel like a powerful witch :)
