The makers of SteamWorld begin their first 3D project. The game is about to borrow ideas from everything from Okami to Luigis. Many publishers charge their publishers for releasing smaller games during busy periods of the year, or for the wake of other much larger titles. Although December is very quiet, you would normally say that launching The Gunk a week before Christmas, without a lot of marketing, would send it out to die. So, when it’s Game Pass, it doesn’t matter whether people buy it or not. The Gunk is the latest game of Swedish studio Image & Form Games and represents a third, first and third game, not only their first gaming titles, but also their first console title, which isn’t part of their amorphous Steam World franchise. Because of the variety of games that played are not really different, it is not surprising to find out that The Gunk doesn’t really have a lot of sexy games, but it is certainly reminiscent of many other titles. The one major difference in the SteamWorld series is that The Gunk is a relatively common concept, in this case the idea of restoring life to a dead and lifeless world, and attempting to make it look new and interesting again. The work within the form of 2-D struggles with a goal much more difficult than you would have expected from Image & Forms. The Gunk has two main characters, the one that you played as a scavenger named Rani who, along with her partner Becks, finds out their planet was infested with a slimy parasite muting into aggressive monsters. The plot is very simple but the relationship between Rani and Becks is interesting, both as well as the two start to argue more and more about what to do and if the titular gunk is true of their concern. The key to the Gunk is to build up the black goo by using Ranis as a power glove and to see the planet gradually burst back into existence is to begin to enjoy the experience. As a result, it’s an enjoyable experience, without a need for further complication. That’s a big risk. While hoovering up gunk certainly is satisfying, it really does not count well to justify the whole game. How gunk elapses and watch the wildlife as they regain its power is reminiscent of Okami. While the Capcoms game was a Zelda style arcade adventure, there aren’t much else in consequence going on with The Gunk. This is the strongest of the central clean-up operation in the puzzle, although occasionally you must stop thinking about it for a long time, which could be said on most mainstream games. The combat is much less interesting, and revolves around killing small enemies and using them to get them to the point where you should aim. It’s now you realize that Luigis Mansion must have been a major influence, but The Gunk doesn’t have much at all to that games charm or invention. The Gunk scrub is fun! (pic: Thunder. There’s also a crafting system which includes collected resources. However, it gives the distinct impression that being included is simple. When doing that, you can vacuum the gunk. You can’t change your glove but the games have very easy it never seems to be necessary. Transforming a laser weapon into a robot is an interesting trick but since there are less than a handful of different enemies, none of which are very difficult to deal with, it isn’t that exciting upgrade it could be. For the visual image, the game might be very intriguing; its style is more realistic than Steamworld, but still maintains a pretty visual lineage. However, the saturated colours make a game weird, with the aim of returning to life the environment with some ease. It makes everything look a bit subdued and sterile if there are guns present or not. It’s really true that not all human characters have proper lip synching. The Gunk has many obvious inspirations but in end, the game feels like a very recent Kena: Bridge Of Spirits, whose many effort and some very pretty graphics have been expended to a game without a unique idea of its own. Both titles are fairly endearing, and certainly inoffensive, but the lack of gameplay ambition becomes unattainable long before the end of the game. We certainly wouldn’t recommend paying for The Gunk 20 – but considering Game Pass it is just a question of whether it was worth your time or not. And considering how long it’s been wed say that if you did no better, you’d probably have nothing more to do. It wasn’t so hard, that making mediocre games more palatable was really the best advert for Game Pass but The Gunk is an amiable time waster so the release date if it weren’t so bad, then that time was probably too late.
The Gunk review is a summary of the gruelling review.
In short: Very familiar, so easy, and too short, but if you are not looking for an undemanding time waster on Game Pass, you can certainly do better than The Gunk. Pros: Hoovering gunk is very satisfying, and it is hard to explain if the graphics are bright, but with a somewhat peculiar colour palette. The relationship between the two main characters is interesting. Cons: The game is a hodgepodge of borrowed ideas that are likewise done better elsewhere. A multi-lingual combat, not necessary.
