So, you're a raccoon with an ability to control a hole. That's right! You control a not-so-bottomless pit and start swallowing everything: trash, animals, cars, buildings... even your friends. Total chaos. The game's main message? "Be a hole." Inspirational. Never thought I'd emotionally connect with being a hole, but here we are. 10/10, would ruin a town again xD.

Donut County is a marvelously cute ‘puzzle’ game with lovable characters, adorable art, funny dialogue and just the right amount of extra goodies to satisfy a nice afternoon or evening play sesh. This is not my first rodeo with Donut County. I originally played this on mobile(!) , one of the only mobile games I’ve ever bought , during Thanksgiving weekend back in 2018. At that time, I was back in the states, after the longest period I had ever been away from my family. It was an unexpected trip back home because my grandpa, who had been deteriorating with dementia for some years, passed away early in the week. I don’t really know why I felt so compelled to take time off work and go back home for such a brief time, especially when a longer New Year’s holiday was just around the corner. I guess I felt being at the funeral was an important part of closure, particularly when you lose someone with dementia, who you kind of have to say ‘goodbye’ to twice. Anyway, it was a lot of money for such a short trip, a brutal jet lag battle, and troublesome with work. The holiday and weekend was filled with tears and difficulties, but during that final evening, family sat around the living room with the pets, some chatting, some watching movies, some playing board games, I just felt so at peace. I felt so serene there. And as silly as it seems to say, Donut County was a part of that. Traveling back home on short notice and for such a short time meant no games, obviously an important part of my life, and I don’t own a laptop. I bought Donut County because I didn’t need internet to play, and it looked ‘wholesome’. I played it that night between watching movies and chatting with family, and just felt so right in those hours. At this time in my life I was still branching out into indie games and less AAA titles, and I was reeled in by the similarities to Katamari games, one of a limited series of games I had engaged in that was different, so I had to take a chance. Despite Donut County I think being a little better on mobile (and I believe cheaper!), this is still a great buy on Steam. It’s got a good progression, where levels generally lengthen and get a little more puzzle-oriented as time goes on, and the pacing is great, where each dialogue session doesn’t overstay its welcome, and also sets the context for the level and items. I think the game would’ve been a little more satisfying if whole levels were viewable rather than partitioned, and players just simply had to ‘explore’ a little more for what they could pick up, a la Katamari, or at the very least thematically limited. The story doesn’t make much sense, specifically in that after swallowing a billion things, nothing crashes down on top of the characters, except for the few other characters they’re trying to chat with lol, but that’s not really a bad criticism. No suspension of disbelief is required for a silly little tale like this one. That said, there’s some cute fable-esque (the children’s story, not the game) storytelling here, about friendship, forgiveness, and trust that is well done. There’s a level selector, a cute interactive credits area, and lots of small curiosities to satisfy. Overall, there’s a great game here, and lots to enjoy, even if it is miniature by games industry standards. I highly recommend this one, on mobile especially and even on Steam! Almost nothing to complain about! 9/10

fun little game that is less of a 'game' in the traditional sense and more of a interactive narrative experience. it doesn't overstay its welcome and has charming dialogue in addition to satisfying gameplay that makes this a easy game to blast through in one sitting. another classic from annapurna, showcasing why they are one of my favorite publishers in all of gaming.

July 2024

This game is very funny and cute - it doesn't take its story too seriously for what it is - a story about raccoons using doughnuts kidnap people - and the gameplay is simple though incredibly satisfying. I'll almost certainly be replaying this in an attempt to get 100% achievements someday. However, This game is about 2 hours long. I would not pay $13 for it, but I got it for about $4 which was great.
