DeathSpank

I remember playing this when I was younger and for some reason not finishing it; recently I decided to give it another shot and finally got through it. If I could summarize my thoughts on this game in one sentence it would be: "It's a Ron Gilbert game." If you've played any of his games, then you more or less know what to expect: a game that feels like it was made in the 90's with simple but quirky humor. I do think the game starts a little slow, but after the first chapter of the story and the world opens up, the game becomes more interesting both in gameplay and story. It's also where the game's humor starts to kick in a little more. Gameplay-wise, this game is very simple. There are technically different types of weapons with different elements and special abilities, but in all honesty, you can get away with just using whatever items have the biggest numbers, for both weapons and armor. Blocking is so strong in this game, you can just repeat attack/block forever until all the enemies around you are dead. Overall, whether you will like this game really depends on some simple questions. Do you like Ron Gilbert games? If yes, then play this. Do you like games from the 90's that have cheeky humor and deliver a simple, straight-forward experience? Do you like the old games by Double Fine like Costume Quest and Psychonauts? If yes, then you're probably a Ron Gilbert fan without even knowing it and should play this game.
