This game gives you a fantastic experience and atmosphere but it’s like chewing gum. Hear me out: The game is so teeming with flavor and bursting with uniqueness but the main substance is clearly not the priority. This is a one-and-done experience and the flavor is bound to run out by it’s end but it’s a damn solid flavor until that point.

Hylics 2 has creative but relatively shallow JRPG turn-based combat mish-mashed with 3D platforming, 2D platforming, and a first person dungeon-crawler. All of these things are executed well enough individually and combine for a rather impressive collage of mixed media psychedelic vibes.

This chewing gum may not last hundreds of hours or have a crazy high skill ceiling, but it was still one of the most flavorful experiences I’ve had in a while and would recommend it to anyone open-minded/curious about its striking design and/or into non-traditional RPGs.

Also Pangorma is the GOAT
