I’m adding a one star review purely to get it to show up with the others…. the reviews here are HILARIOUS. Are there still this many people alive that believe in Satan? Also - IT IS NOT MADE FOR CHILDREN. There seems to be a good number of unintelligent people here who think if something is a computer game it must be for kids, if something is a cartoon it must be for kids. It’s a grown up game for grown up people who can identify the not fine line between playing a fun clever little game (which it really is) and joining a satanic cult and murdering people for real. All the weak minded religious folk here who can’t tell the difference - I despair for you and you’re missing out. Satan isn’t real, so enjoy yourself! And if he was? He’d be laughing along at this review section too and taking great glee in the fact that the only people opposing him these days are clearly idiots who cant identify fiction and satire when they see it.

I really feel for the people who left one star, especially the person who left it after only watching the trailer, talk about lacking intelligence! The film IS slow and it ISN’T for anyone who’s automatically response is ‘This is boring’. What it is is INCREDIBLY well made and there’s some really cute unique parts to how they did it. Possibly the best stop motion film I’ve ever seen.

Honestly? It was alright. I love People Just Do Nothing, but this was nothing that couldn’t have just been another series of the show. The jokes that were starting to wear thin continue in this (Chabuds desperate to be a part of their group, Grinder being deluded, Miche being Miche, Decoy clearly being the dad, etc etc). Nice to see a new storyline from Steve’s (who as usual is the best character and best acted). It lost my attention a bit about 20mins from the end. But I still love the guys and the series is still always worth a rewatch. This I probably won’t bother with again simply because it’s 90mins which is a shame.

It’s a slightly less polished Hollow Knight, if you enjoy that you’ll enjoy this. To those thinking it’s too hard, it’s supposed to be! If you keep trying eventually you won’t get hurt (as much), even on the bosses that are seemingly impossible at first. Suddenly you’ll finish them without barely getting hurt at all and would be entirely confident doing it straight off again. Rather than games that level you up so you can just absorb and do more damage to fight ‘harder’ enemies, without actually getting any better at the game, instead you learn quite quickly that getting hit, at all, by anything, is gunna hurt. You HAVE to learn what distances to take, when to hit, when to block, when to roll, and always be ready to counter. Then you learn what’s best to do after the counter, etc etc. Every enemy type needs a slightly different approach, and when you nail it you will progress. The game rewards grinding, but grinding away at certain bits to learn rather than just to level up. If you can’t cope with dying and redoing you won’t enjoy it, for the rest of us it’s a nice little hidden gem.
