Sludge Life is a casual exploration game set on a very quirky and vibrant island. Although there is no linear story, you find purpose in finding vandalism spots and getting to know the interesting residents and the island. To me, Sludge Life is an art game and a comfort game.

As someone who is absolutely terrible at platformers and parkouring, I found many spots difficult to reach. However, my skill issue did not keep me from enjoying the game as there is so much to explore. The camera feature is my favorite part of the game and makes me want to come back every once in a while just to go on a digital photo walk. The mini games are pretty fun too. I really enjoy the dungeon crawler.

Like some other reviews suggest, I would suggest adjusting certain settings (like mouse sens) to enjoy the game, as it can be nauseating especially the first time you play it.

If you are attracted to the visual style, then you should play this game for sure. The music is also great and also very enjoyable to listen to outside the game.

Great game, love the style. I especially liked how the menu works, with all the options as programs and those pop-ups, even the credits were original
