A great follow-up to a hilarious game. Steps in this game can be a bit obtuse and frustrating at times, but the writing just trumps all of that. Truly one of the funniest games of all time. This sequel, specifically, really amped up the cleverness, having you wait so so long for a joke to land. Hilarious Chekhov's guns spread out everywhere in these episodes with such satisfying punchlines. It goes without saying that I enjoyed the writing and humor above all else in this game, but I did enjoy all of the DeSoto games and great content this game has to offer... 10/10

Just an amazing game. The visuals and story are something else, an incredible blend of stop-motion and watercolor. The game paints exaggerated landscapes of the deep south in the best, most Gothic way possible. I cannot stress how much I adore looking at every model in this game. The story is not very nuanced, but hits all the notes for me. AND THE SOUNDTRACK, coming in hard and loud at the perfect moments, most obviously during the boss fights. The only gripe I have with this game is that the combats and boss fights can be decently repetitive. But when played at the highest difficulty, I found it really satisfying. South of Midnight is the definition of a good action-adventure game through, with so many fun mythological creatures... 10/10

Just an incredible understanding of artistry and emotion holy.... This game is so beautiful, and everything that it needs to be. A short and unexpected metroidvania-esque experience with an incredible soundtrack and beautiful visuals. I hate to praise this game so broadly, but it really does just check every single box... 10/10

Possibly one of the funniest games of all time. This is a compendium of a near infinite amount of one-liners that are exactly my sense of humor. I'm glad I picked this up as a remaster, as the graphics are so so fun, and are so faithful to the footage I've seen of the original release. These characters are so well-written and memorable it's insane. Some of the puzzles are pretty dated and confusing for anyone not in the target age demographic upon Sam and Max's original release, but I never truly realized how good a point and click puzzle game could be--and again, how ridiculously funny they could be... 10/10

She must be made beautiful with the squirrels of the wood... 10/10

The best platform fighter since smash.... end of an era.. 10/10

Delightful short clicker game. The numbers ramp up really quickly, and there's a satisfying gameplay loop. I adore these types of games to relax and play. W museum... 10/10

One of the most stunningly beautiful games on the market. The soundtrack and simplicity really pulled me in. I've beat the game 6 or so times, and have had fun on every run. The best Metroidvania, hands down. While I prefer WotW, this game started it all... 10/10

This game scratched my brain in all the right places. Incredible satisfying idler-esque game with smooth graphics, a relaxing soundtrack, and addicting gameplay loop. Such a great value... 10/10

Extremely passionate and extremely short. Stunning visual direction that allows for almost no dialogue, but all of the emotion... 10/10
