After encountering the planet’s titular gooey substance for the first time and vacuuming it up with my robotic arm, I flashed back to Luigi’s Mansion. While not bad company to keep, this highlights a problematic pattern: nothing in The Gunk feels unique.Įverything in this adventure is reminiscent of something else, and, for the most part, it’s been done better somewhere else. Becks stays with the ship, but the comms allow an easy back and forth between the ship’s co-captains, which reminds me of Cowboy Bebop and Firefly, shows that star intrepid space travelers in constant need of cash. As Rani, you fearlessly explore the unknown world, scanning life forms for data, jumping from craggy cliffs to oversized leaves, and eventually, clearing away obstructive, plant-destroying Gunk. They touch down on an unknown planet hoping to discover valuable resources to pay off their debts and set themselves up for life. The Gunk’s heroes, Rani and Becks, are a pair of plucky and impoverished space haulers. Fortunately, this spacecraft manages to stay afloat with likable characters, solid gameplay, and a serviceable story. In a game filled with alien worlds splashed with color and populated with extraterrestrial mysteries, The Gunk falls surprisingly flat. Unfortunately, it is also the apex of the short game’s trajectory.
The gunk time to beat full#
The opening cinematic is beautiful and full of promise. I began The Gunk with eager anticipation, blasting across the swirling clouds of the cosmos.
