Hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:03
cons of the video game a game about
0:05
digging a hole on not now mom I'm
0:08
gaming. These are short videos featuring
0:11
gameplay clips or screenshots so as not
0:13
to show too much in the spoiler
0:14
department. Links to this review are in
0:16
the description below. Let the reviewing
0:18
begin. Pros twist ending. Hey look, a
0:23
pro. Seriously though, I loved this game
0:27
on my first playthrough. It's the second
0:29
where things went to crap. But anyway,
0:32
there are some that don't appreciate the
0:34
ending since it kind of took a relaxing
0:36
game into the shallows of survival
0:38
horror, which let's face it, you don't
0:40
expect something like that in a game
0:42
about digging, but I kind of like the
0:44
outcome. You don't really see it coming,
0:47
but in a way makes some twisted kind of
0:49
sense why the house was so cheap. Cons:
0:53
No new game option and pause settings.
0:56
This is clearly not a problem on your
0:58
first playthrough. However, on New Game
1:01
Plus, you kind of know what you're doing
1:03
and might want to try the speedrun
1:04
achievement. The problem is, if your run
1:07
isn't great, you have to exit out of the
1:09
game and boot it back up for a new game.
1:12
Why on earth do I need to quit a game in
1:14
order to replay it just for an
1:16
achievement that's RNG reliant? I've
1:19
exited out of this game more than six
1:21
times. Honestly, I want to give the game
1:24
a one star for this alone. Achievements
1:27
locked to second playthrough. It's such
1:29
a shame because I really like playing
1:31
the game the first time around, but to
1:33
know they've locked at least one
1:34
achievement behind New Game Plus is
1:37
stupid. It's a game about digging.
1:39
Nobody is gung-ho to dig the same hole
1:41
in a different way. This isn't Powerwash
1:44
Simulator. Despite its looks, the
1:46
coziness doesn't last. I'm mainly
1:49
speaking about the five rainbow orbs,
1:51
but the speedrun could fall into this
1:53
category. But I understand the
1:55
speedrunning aspect because people like
1:58
doing that. Nobody wants to come back to
2:00
a game just to collect ores that should
2:01
have been there in the first place.
2:03
Particles block movements. When you
2:06
shovel dirt, sometimes pieces of that
2:08
dirt are separated from that chunk and
2:09
hang in the air. Not only do they block
2:12
your movement at the most inopportune
2:13
time, but I'm pretty sure if you land on
2:16
them, you take fall damage. Dealing with
2:18
them is as fun as driving a car through
2:20
a road full of potholes.
2:23
And that's the end of our pros and cons
2:25
review of a game about digging a hole.
