I heard it's like Halo 2 mixed with Halo 3.
This is such an ignorant reduction of who Dunkey is. Sure he's a total goofball, but behind that facade he's one of the most dedicated, talented, caring people in the industry.

If you care at all about video games, go check out some of his more serious stuff. He's one of a kind.
If you think Dunkey is for or markets to children then you definitely haven't observed much. He's in his mid-30s and most of his game references are from the 90s. He targets the older gaming crowd mainly, and this game is further evidence of it since it's puzzle based, non-combat, and has "retro" style graphics.

So there's the counter argument from someone that hasn't bought this game as metroidvanias aren't my usual thing and who enjoys Dunkey videos, but not a hardcore fan or anything. I am also almost 40 with two kids in grade school who have no idea who he is.

I only came here in all honesty because I was trying to understand why this was a front page deal as it has been this price since it was introduced I believe, which was almost a week ago now. If anything I don't know why this is a "deal", good game or not, at least for front page.

I think your bias is against YouTubers in general and you assume they all exist to sell to children, which man, that is definitely a big thing I see, again as I have two kids, but your overall take on Dunkey shows a lack of actual "observation".

So much hype around this game I got it and tried for 15 minutes to like it, but platforming puzzles are not enough alone for me. Great visuals but I could already tell I'd be exhausted from the constant minimalism. Really wanted to love it but definitely wasn't for me.

2-4 hours in. It feels like a damn near perfect game. I had never heard of Dunkey before purchasing this but Jason Schreier compared it to Outer Wilds and Destructoid gave it a 10, so I had to put Hades II EA aside to dive in. Go in knowing as little as possible, the little "aha" and "whoaaa" moments are what it's all about!

The jump is as tight as Celeste, the items are all unique and devious little trinkets that are fun to mess with. The visuals are mesmerizing, and it's refreshing to see a game with cutting edge graphics come in at only 34 MB. Just a labor of love from every angle. Can't recommend it enough.

Also loving this one. A bit expensive I think but worth it.

It's pretty good, but it's no Super Mario Bros 2.

Quote from wherestheanykey :
From the comments, it seems to be heavily promoted by a YouTuber whose primary demographic audience started in grade school.

This might not be reflective of the game itself, but possibly the ill-conceived hype around it.

This is such an ignorant reduction of who Dunkey is. Sure he's a total goofball, but behind that facade he's one of the most dedicated, talented, caring people in the industry.

Wasn't for me either. A friend sold me on buying it saying it was like Fez. I found it just a frustrating puzzle game that used constant death and backtracking as its crutch to extend game time. Also don't get caught up in not spoiling it. There isn't anything that interesting to spoil and you can get stuck just because you aren't getting what the game wants you to do. Wish I had passed on it.

I was able to get a refund on Steam since my play time was just 15 minutes. Maybe worth trying?
