Been waiting for this since the first time it was shown. Love these games. Hope it’s good

 

[xrnzaaas]

Unfortunately I was suspecting it's going to be a bland game after watching the gameplays, a pass from me even 'for free', life's just too short to play games like this. Make SteamWorld Dig 3 ffs.

 

[VN1X]

Is it me or did I read one too many "theys" in that article

Get used to it.

Gotta appeal to

The Gunk is a simple little platforming adventure full of malicious messes that are plenty fun to clean up.

Sounds fine. 4 hours. I'll probably get 100% on this. Seems enjoyable, but very simplistic.

 

[Lognor]

Ehh I think I'll pass on this one. I was excited for it due to the dev behind it, but seems too generic to actually spend my time on.

Maybe they should stick to the Steamworld games.

I’m enjoying this on Series X. Really pretty and relaxing. No filler. Reminds me of a N64 game.

How's the performance ? 60 FPS ? and does it have and presets for Quality/Performance ?

 

[GymWolf]

Is there any combat in this one or it is just enviromental puzzle solving and platforming?!

 

[dorkimoe]

Finally. Playing this all night tonight

Certified banger then (but not one to pick up at full price for me, as low as it already is even).

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Game looks interesting, but the voice acting is awful. It's like they just picked two random women streamers off Twitch to voice the main characters.

What games are those? Vacuuming?

 

[remember_spinal]

All the reviews read as: “Chores 64”

 

[Gameplaylover]

Cute little game, but the gameplay is simple. Reminds me of No Man Sky: Scan stuff, mine stuff. I'm now in chapter 3 and would rate it around 75.

Performance is a perfect locked 60fps and I’m in the last level. I’m using VRR so that might mask any drops. No presets to choose from. Super solid.

How is the story? Might give it a try on PC for when the lady occupies the TV.

 

[Strider Highwind]

About to boot it up? Its only 4 hours long? Time to do some achievement hunting lol

Haven't seen much story yet, maybe 5 minutes and it's nothing earth-shattering. Would call it standard.

 

[Max_Po]

Saw ACG's review. ... not worth the time.

 

[Punished Miku]

I'm surprised people are this surprised. Their main series is literally just monotonous digging lol. But it gets to be fun and satisfying to explore and finish the jobs.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Liking characters so far, looks interesting. I'm definitely intrigued.

 

[Fredrik]

Quick question. Is it worth it to drop Halo or Kena to play this?
I have 3 hours to spend.

It's a nice filler, but i wouldn't drop other games for it.

Thanks I’ll skip it for now then, too much in the backlog

of course.
not GOTY material by any stretch, but it looks like it’ll settle around 75 ish or so. And that’s perfectly fine for a relatively short game that’s supposedly not short on charm.

no-brainer if you’ve got Gamepass

I have so much other games to play, jumped into Halo instead

 

[hangdang69]

I loved Steamworld Dig 1 and 2, so I am really looking forward to this based on those games. I'm sure it will be fun to play. Even if the voice acting here is a bit off-putting.

 

[Orbital2060]

Im missing a map. And some guidance. Im getting lost, kind of like with Deaths Door.

But lovely game. Great music.

I thought that too! I HATE having multiple ways to go sometimes, it stresses me out thinking I missed a way. Map would be great

 

[Magic Carpet]

liking it so far.
Ive seen several branching passages. I hope I can remember where Ive been and where Ive not. the tips said to leave corruption are to heal when hurt, how do I know Im hurt or not?

 

[SteadyEvo]

Relaxing was the thought I had playing earlier. I’m not blown away but it’s a solid game I see myself completing.

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Looks like a decent time at least. I plan on subbing to Gamepass for a month soon and The Gunk is definitely one I will try out. I really like Steamworld Dig and although this seems completely different, I’m going to give it a shot because I like the devs.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Played about an hour and liking the environments and music. Gameplay is chill so far, but I'm hoping there's more upgrades coming to add a sense of progression. It reminds me of a GameCube or Xbox era game, which is cool.

 

[Jennings]

The game pronounces solder wrong about nine billion times. They pronounce it the UK way even though the characters have American accents. It's pronounced "sodder" not "sold-er." Not far enough into the game yet to form other important opinions.

 

[CitizenZ]

So its F.I.S.T. but from 3rd person perspective? Ok.

 

[elliot5]

Pretty meh game. But I didn’t lose anything really so whatever. Thx game pass

 

[jaysius]

This is super chill and relaxing, it's like Elecrobits or whatever that weird Wii game was.

 

[Punished Miku]

Im surprised at the critical responses. This is pretty much what I hoped for. Compared to their last games its a giant leap forward graphically. Not some super impressive graphics or anything but sucking up the gunk looks cool honestly.

Just chill sci fi platformer + Luigi's Mansion. I've played many worse games than this. Perfect for Gamepass.

 

[Strider Highwind]

I played for about an hour and a half today and it's about what I expected..Cool 'smaller' game with a little bit of charm. I appreciate titles like this cause after running through Halo, Guardians of the Galaxy, and a few other games it feels good to take a break from the big titles.

Also I finished up Chorus this afternoon, if you haven't tried it and you game on PC atleast try the demo, it was an exceptional game as well.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

I'm loving the HDR implementation in this game.

 

[Punished Miku]

Solid OST so far.

 

[Hendrick's]

I'm seeing the Steamworld influence. I cannot doubt this dev until they prove me wrong. I'm looking forward to this quite a bit.

 

[01011001]

so I played it for like 1 hour, maybe 1 1/2... does this stop being kiddies first action adventure at any time? because currently the gameplay and puzzles are quite literally something I would expect in a game made for 4 year old children... I know that is normal in many AAA action games these days *cough* Uncharted *cough* but in an indy adventure game I expected a bit less... braindeadness(?)

 

[Magic Carpet]

Nice game. I got as far as defeating the rhino enemy and my hand is cramping from holding in both triggers. Time to call it a night and finish the cleanup this weekend.

I completed the game a moment ago. If it weren't for occasional bits of obscene language I would say it's a kid's game. I'm not sure who the target audience is, but it's not children, so it must be ultra casual adult gamers.

seems that way from what I played yeah...

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Just finished. Cute little game.

Is this an exclusive?
