RESTLESS SOUL

Take my review with a grain of salt, because I played this game at a time when I was terribly stressed/overworked and could only afford 10-30 minutes of gaming a day. Tldr; Ghost game funny lol First off, the humor is hit or miss. If you find yourself completely straight-faced and bored the first 15 minutes, this isn't the game for you because the rest of it has a similar humor through and through. I thought it was funny. I chuckled and a couple of jokes made me laugh quite a bit, but that's just how my humor works. But if you're not the same type of person, don't bother, or the game will become a chore. To me, this was a perfectly non-stimulating chill game where I didn't have to think too hard about a game and could relax from work. You WILL NOT find a lot of stimulation here. It's pretty chill, and may be boring for some people. Keep that in mind if you're looking at this game and hoping for excitement. PROS + Quirky pixelated world with a lot of personality + The game does not take itself too seriously in the slightest + Simple, easy to understand controls and gameplay loop + If you like the sense of humor, you'll be entertained + The game plays like a joke (I mean this in a good way) where the stage is a setup, and the boss is the punchline + Bullet hell segments that I thought were pretty decent + The game doesn't overly rely on bullet hells, and instead mixes up the gameplay loop every now and then + Good for stressed creatures that need to relax + Surprisingly good soundtrack + Some collect-a-thon elements that I thought were pretty fun CONS - If the humor doesn't vibe with you, you'll probably hate this game since the gameplay is simple, and the story is mostly an excuse plot with literally two scenes where there's a small tone shift - The actual gameplay is about 40% of the experience with 60% being dialogue - Not much replay value after completing the game outside of starting a new save - No way to replay the stages outside of just starting a new game Fun lil' game to be enjoyed for 30-45 minutes a day type of game. I would probably recommend this game more as a "palate-cleanser" for a stressful day or a harder game rather than standing out on its own. For me, it was just what I needed after a hard day, but your needs might be different. 7/10
