Landing on an unknown planet, Rani and Becks are partners.
Yet despite all of this, it has a tremendous amount of heart. This is one of those titles where “thanks for playing” appears at the end of the rather short list of credits where a lot of the names repeat. When the credits rolled I didn’t feel hard done by, I felt as though a metaphorical hand had been extended for me to shake. That length, while irksome to some, is a boon for Game Pass subscribers and people who prefer shorter experiences these days. It’s one of the least pretentious experiences of 2021, with simple to grasp controls, motifs, and a runtime of well under under five hours. A game where the story develops as you play, there aren’t any collectibles, and the reward is just playing through once, then moving on. In many ways, The Gunk feels like a throwback to a bygone era.

#HLTB THE GUNK SERIES#
Image & Form is a well known developer that’s become a cult favourite thanks to the Steamworld series of games: each a brand new genre within the universe, but this is the team’s first new game in over ten years. What is The Gunk? It’s a weird name for a game, but then, while it may stray too close to being safe at times, it’s a fairly strange experience from start to finish.
