Having 100%-ed the game, here's my two cents. The game wasn't perfect; as others have said, the boss fights are probably the worst part of the game, and there are bits of backtracking you have to do for quests or items that just isn't fun if you don't photographically remember the map. On the other hand, the art style and music rock! The story, while a little edgy at points, never crossed that line too far and I was consistently intrigued the entire way. I empathized a lot with Laika the whole way through, and enjoyed the worldbuilding a lot. The gameplay was generally pretty clean and enjoyable, and I didn't experience any glitches. The achievements aren't too hard to get, either. I definitely recommend this game, especially if you can catch it on sale.

One of the most impactful games I've played in recent years. Laika isn't easy, both in its difficulty and the themes it explores, but its more than worth overcoming its challenges. The gameplay is fun and mechanics don't overstay their welcome. The world tells a story even when the characters aren't talking. And the music is absolutely gorgeous, albeit very melancholy. Spectacular game with an important story to tell.

This game is horrible. Not in the gameplay, the gameplay is fantastic. The music is outstanding, the art: gorgeous. The story is awful terrible terrible horrible. Not in quality, but in content. Nothing is good, nothing is happy and nothing will ever get better. 10/10

I feel pretty mixed about this game, I LOVE the art, the music, the characters, (some of) the gameplay, but man some parts of this game are ROUGH. I think its a well made game for the most part, its stable, it runs well and has some really fun and unique ideas, but while it has very high highs, it also has some truly low lows. some of the decisions made for the actual gameplay are very questionable and/or frustrating. Like half of this game is a glorified fetch quest, someone asks you to go get something, you go out of your way to get it, you come back and get a crumb of engaging dialogue with an absolutely pitiful amount of rewards, and then they immediately ask for something else. repeat for almost every single side quest. The worst part is that when your initially exploring a new area quest items wont even spawn until an NPC asks for them, so you gotta drag your bike all across the dessert over again for every single quest. It can be incredibly monotonous, again for rewards that are almost always near worthless The other major issue I have with this game is the boss fights, I think the first couple are decent enough, but a lot of them have serious issues. These are fights where you have to wait for the enemies weak point to open up before you can damage them, have multiple phases, and you have only one hit point, with NO CHECKPOINTS. you have to restart the entire fight every single time you get by something, or even just land your bike wrong. The actual designs of the bosses are pretty cool, but I started dreading fighting them (The egg and crab can go to hell especially). I've complained a lot about this game, but I don't regret playing it and want to end this off with what I REALLY liked about this game. I felt like this games overall presentation was overwhelmingly beautiful, from its gorgeous melancholy soundtrack, to its striking art style. The story and characters were also engaging, theres some particular moments that are very shocking and memorable. The gameplay (while still having some major issues) was very inventive and fun for the most part (doing 360s with your bike to reload is VERY cool) You should probably try out the demo before buying the game, should tell if you'll like this game or not. I had a lot of issues with this game, but I also don't think I'll forget about it anytime soon. I wish the best of luck to the devs at brainwash gang, you guys have made some really great and unique stuff!
