Thank Goodness You're Here!

My wife could learn a thing or two of this game.

Gwon up t' top bants lads! Better than a pair o' baps 10/10

Thank Goodness You're Here is a "game" praised by game journalists, and that alone should be a red flag for you. But to save you money I will tell why the journos and majority of "gamers" love this; you play the game using only two buttons (but to be honest you will use only one button for like 90% of the game) and the analog stick. This is baby game territory. The game is too easy. Too easy in the way that it does not stimulate thought enough because you won't be doing much thinking while playing this game. But I should actually stop calling it a "game" and rather an "interactive experience" if we are being really generous. There are no fail states and the majority of your time will be spent walking from one area to the other, slapping random objects or people along the way to get a reaction out of them in order to progress to the next scripted event. Now I will be lying if I said I did not laugh a few times. The comedy lands well and the animation and voice acting is really decent. Almost a fine export of a British product one might say... but then things start devolving into senselessness when you start noticing the unrealistic diversity crammed in for no real reason. Especially since the game's setting is based on a northern British town (Barnsley) that had less than 1% non-english inhabitants during the time the devs grew up(which is what they claimed was the inspiration for the game). I got totally pulled out of the experience when I saw a flashback scene in a hospital and there were 5 brown babies in the nursery room. Why? It makes zero sense and I have the feeling that this was placed in the game in order to facilitate an agenda. Do yourself a favour; go watch this "game" on Youtube. The experience will be the same.
