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".

Started this yesterday and it's really good and interesting. So far it's a side scrolling Metroidish puzzle game.

Yeah it's a Metroidvania minus the combat. Some of the puzzles are great.

Just beat this game today it is great! The graphics are awesome, great puzzles and sound, some frustrating and challenging parts but nothing too bad even for the cozier crowd. So much in terms of Easter eggs and bonus puzzling, exploration and collecting. Really happy with the purchase.
