Critic Reviews for Legendary Gary
Legendary Gary is a fascinating take on the immersive nature of games. It is the very definition of an indie game, and well worth playing.
A game about a game within a game, Legendary Gary is weird and cool and utterly, genuinely unique. Some parts may be frighteningly familiar, and surprisingly emotional.
Roughly a four-hour experience, Legendary Gary is a strange game to sum up, but one that's totally worth your time. Unlike anything I've ever played before, its unique mixture of fantasy and reality makes for a thought-provoking, sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes funny journey that often touches too close to home.
An affecting an imaginative narrative game with inventive, if not particularly challenging, turn based combat. Legendary Gary’s characters occasionally feel flat, but it makes up for it with a unique, well-realised world. You probably already know whether it's going to be for you, and if you’re at all intrigued, I can’t see you being disappointed.
The game isn’t going to appeal to everyone. Players who hold steadfast to traditional genre expectations might be quickly turned off by the experience. At its core, though, Legendary Gary is fast, quirky, and honest, full of many unique styles (including that amazing soundtrack) that work together to create a thoughtful and entertaining experience. I definitely recommend giving it a go.
