I love Penny Arcade, or, at least, I love the 2000s era of the webcomic, before they got really big. It was wild, and free and weird, just like the Internet was in those days. The joked about everything and anything, all from a perspective of gamers, and that resonated with me. These games (I'm going to copy the review, or parts of it, to all four episodes) are not exactly that, but they evoke the same emotions and atmosphere, with a healthy dose of Lovecraftian horror. Episodes 1 and 2 are very light RPG games, with real time combat and a neat 3D visual style. Episode 3 is a straight up JRPG, while Episode 4 is a JRPG/Pokemon kind of game. All four games follow the same story, which starts off like a fairly classic Lovecraftian RPG in Episodes 1 and 2, but transforms into something much much weirder in 3, and especially 4. The ending of Episode 4 is completely worth it, and I was very happy after I played through all the games. The massive change of visual style between the first two and last two episodes can put some people off, but it didn't really bother me. Ultimately, this whole series is something I would recommend to PA webcomic fans, but also to people who are looking for a fresh dose of weirdness, even if they never heard of the comic. The story, setting and characters are just perfect, whereas the gameplay is a secondary concern.
If you only know Tycho Brahe from Poker Night, this is a great refresh. I'm a big fan of the character customisation, even if it's a bit limited. I'm so ♥♥♥♥♥ at turn based combat, but the difficulty options are easy to understand, and you're able to change them at any time :) A little sad that this isn't available for purchase in Australia, but much thanks to my friend Razgriz for gifting it to me <3 don't u drop that mud. that's good mud.
NOT important lore for Poker Night At The Inventory. A giraffe/10
any game where you can watch tycho get pissed on by a robot multiple times per battle is a good game
Fun as hell, especially if you enjoy the Penny Arcade style of humor though you don't need to know much about the comics since this is an AU, while it is a parody game it does have its serious moments and replaying it after finishing all episodes the foreshadowing in each episode is insane. 9/10, docked one point because they should have made Tycho and Gabe kiss.
I want to crush Gabe and Tycho with hammers! Love it!
