Not much of a game more than walking. One real puzzle bit, a teensy bit of exploring, and one chase. Sorta feels like that's the direction it's mean to go though, so if you like that then sick, go for it.

Characters are pretty dang great. Easy to highlight Rambley since they're the center of attention. Animated super well, very fun to watcha nd listen to. Could do without the obvious "get scared now, it's sentient" glitch-type behaviour but still, love them.

Great example of that clunky-vehicle style that's still nice to control. Gets the feeling across without being frustrating. Sufficient, straightforward lil spooky romp. Most fo the time subtle with the scares.

Immediately getting out of the way that the voice acting is not the greatest and it's kind of everywhere. But it's very clear that they tried to give their flavours in their characters. It's passable if not a little endearing. I'd love to see them improve.

Now onward to: Most CERTAINLY the best craft/survival I've experienced. Real progression, good exploring direction, and SUPER clever in linking all the areas together via one-way locked doors, portals, and trams. The survival part isn't suffocating (by default, you can change that). Each skill has noticeable involvement and viability (although some weapon categories fall behind during progression). Monster designs are lovely. Portal worlds are lovely. The facility is lovely. Godsdammit it's lovely go play it!

Oddly super clunky combat despite it being the entire point. Zombies'll sometimes attack random bits of buildings while having clear paths to you. Hitboxes are jank as hell and you'll be hit from much further than you'd think of a melee range.

Menus are designed weirdly, making them difficult to navigate. Descriptions of various things don't match the logic of the game, including controls explained in the tutorial. Stat numbers and denotations are more than often VERY unclear. Matches the overall writing of things like flavour text and monologues from the few NPCs you interact with.

Overall a huge mess of development choices despite how long it took to make the full release.

Genuinely one of the best platformers I've played. Base controls are very intuitive. Feels amazing to play. Level design is cohesive all around and maintains the thematic design to everything. It looks decrepit and bleak and it's meant to, kinda comes back around to looking fantastic despite the VERY low res texturing. One of the areas that throw brighter colours around still remains muted so it fits the overall direction. New ways to get around are cleverly designed. The way the dialogue is handled, gestures and mechanical groans in place of spoken words, is fantastically done. A short simple story that connected really well.

So much more I would absolutely ramble over. I feckin ADORED every second of it.

Survival aspect works well with the objective and isn't suffocating. The movement and controls are smooth. Co-op works well. And more points are awarded every time my friends mildly panicked go "Uh oh," before they plummet down the terrain with our backpack(s) full of our only belongings.

Overall super satisfying to play, both solo and co-op.

The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ CUTEST game I've ever played. Made me cry. Many feelings. Dang beautiful story. Pretty environments. Very silly, very goofy, humor's great. Adorable writing. Relatively short; ENTIRELY worth all my money.

Go in as blind as you can.

I need more beeg slimes.

Seriously, though, this expansion adds SO MUCH content it kinda feels like I bought the second half of the game. The survivors are both dope as hell, the enemies are super cool, the environments are super cool. The items add extra variety for builds. Everything about this is feckin great.

10/10 worth even the fifteen bucks it'll be after the sale.

I can't score ♥♥♥♥ but hey my car looks cool.
