James Corden once said 'This game is a-mae-zing'. Unfortunately, he starred in Cats, so his statement was disregarded, and Night In The Woods was completely forgotten by everyone. Thankfully, I am here to tell you that this game is a-mae-zing. This game picks up with Mae, the character you play, arriving at her hometown of Possum Springs after having suddenly dropped out of college. You meet up with many old friends, take part in a bit bit of delinquency and rabble-rousing, and discover a dark secret hidden by many of the inhabitants of the town. While the game doesn’t offer much in terms of gameplay, mostly just walking around and a few minigames, that’s not what you play the game for. You play for the robust cast of lovable characters found throughout. From the stoic Bea to the energetic Gregg, everyone you’ll meet will have an interesting story to tell. While the game may be a bit depressing, Possum Springs being an old mining town that the world has moved on from, many residents feeling stuck with no place to go, there are many moments of serene levity to be found throughout. From being able to perform songs with your group of friends, to just being able to hang out with them and enjoy life, there are a lot of nice moments to be found throughout. It’s not the longest game, but it is a nice game to just sit down and relax with. Plus, it has Gregg, who is undoubtedly the best character in anything. 9/10.

I've had Later Alligator on the backburner for a while now. I saw the trailer for it a while back and thought it looked great, but it wasn't until self described internet person Neil Cicierega said it was a good game that I was fully hooked. I finally had the time to play it recently, and all I can say is that... well, that's what this review is for. Obviously, the game looks great. The art style looks imitates drawings done with a pencil rather than done digitally, and it looks really great. Each alligator has a unique set of animations that really give them each their own unique flair. The game itself has a unique personality with little quirks, from the quips each character gives, to the name of the city, 'Alligator New York City', which I find to be a cute touch that really helps the game set itself apart from other games like it. You are recruited by an alligator named Pat to ask his family about a party happening later. Each alligator has their own minigame you play to try and learn more about the party that Pat fears he'll be murdered at by his family. The minigames, while not exactly the most in depth gameplay, can be fairly fun to play. From the heist to steal a little toy from a claw machine to hide and seek, they're all quite nice additions to the game. Also, the game is funny. Really funny. Overall, I'm going to have to change my most anticipated sequel from Hollow Knight: Silksong, to Later: Alligator 2 But In Alligator Florida. Actually, now that I think about it, that would probably be a bad idea. 8/10
