A limited range of challenges and puzzles
Cleaning up eventually becomes a chore
Largely pointless resource gathering and upgrades

This free-to-play Xbox Game Pass title can basically be boiled down to you controlling a hoover and cleaning up a dirty planet.And while that may sound unappealing in its description, the resulting game based around that chore mechanic is rewarding and fu...
There is nothing special or complicated about The Gunk, but it proves to be a relaxing and light adventure that focuses on the manual removal of a toxic substance and the abrupt return of nature...

Rani and Becks are great, relatively well fleshed out characters, Beautiful world to explore, Clearing gunk remains fun throughout
Texture pop in, especially after fast travel, You will get stuck multiple times in areas due to glitches or stepping out of the unmarked boundaries
The Gunk is a creative, witty, and charming adventure game, albeit a bit on the short side at only five or six hours in length. Still, the writing, world, and exploration more than make up for the short campaign as players will find themselves immediately...

The relationship between Rani and Becks is endearing, Vacuuming up the Gunk and restoring the planet's life creates a satisfying loop, Laid-back approach is fairly relaxing at times
Simple platforming and puzzle solving don't evolve throughout the game, Combat is trivial and little more than a diversion, Its unambitious and routine design struggles to remain engaging
Beautiful environment, Puzzles are enjoyable, Writing and voice acting is well done
Combat is underbaked, Limited accessibility options
In fact, I'd dare say the combat as a whole is the one glaring weak spot in the entire game. There are only three enemy types that the player will encounter in The Gunk, and the only means Rani has for tackling them is with Pumpkin's vacuum suction. This...

Abstract: The Industry's Chris Moyse and I often have conversations about reviewing games and routinely agree on the idea that the most difficult games to review are those middle-of-the-road, milquetoast titles. With games that you love or hate, it's easy to find t...
Une narration maitrisée, originale, composée de dialogues quasi constants, Poupette, le gant multifonctions, et ses fonctionnalités originales de gameplay, L'amitié liant les deux personnages, sincère, profonde et bien retranscrite, Une direction artistiq
La durée de vie, très courte, du titre aux ambitions ainsi réduites, Une deuxième partie en retrait, plus confinée et terne, Une difficulté très peu relevée, même pour les affrontements majeurs, Le peu de variété dans le bestiaire et des techniques d'appr
Ambientazione eccellente, Trama solida, anche se non originale, Gameplay ben realizzato, Comparto sonoro di alto livello
Livello di difficoltà troppo basso, Qualche piccolo bug, Azioni fin troppo monotone
Dall'altro lato della medaglia troviamo qualche bug grafico (risolvibile con una patch), un livello di difficoltà davvero troppo basso, ed una monotonia nelle azioni che può rischiare di stancare l'utente (salvata da una longevità non elevata).The Gunk24...

Viss upptäckarlusta, Tekniskt och mekaniskt sett kompetent
Simpelt rakt igenom, Dötrist fiendedesign, Är kort, men känns långt
