I was hopeful considering the hilarious introduction with Tommynaut and Beak-Beak (our two heroes). While the graphics and music were fantastic (what music would actually play when it didn’t stop for no reason, anyway), the story, writing, and characters were barely there. Not to mention there were bugs and glitches abound (there have been a few patches since I initially played and finished Armikrog who knows how well they fix things, though).Īnd those are just the gameplay and technical parts of Armikrog. Some puzzles were completely nonsensical and expected you to magically know things that weren’t previously made apparent. Subtitles didn’t match what was being said and usually didn’t even pop up at the correct moment. The music liked to disappear every so often. Clicking on objects didn’t register half the time. I should have taken that as a sign of the awfulness that was to come, but I was blinded by excitement and continued on to play the game.Īs I progressed through Armikrog, I began to notice more and more problems. Which it is, aside from the fact that the audio sounds like it was recorded in a closet with tin cans. Immediately upon starting Armikrog, I was greeted with what is supposed to be a whacky, upbeat intro. I dove straight into Armikrog expecting a similarly wonderful and strange experience as I had with The Neverhood. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case at all.

It was delayed quite a few times, but that was okay, because that would help make it a better game. My dad and I eagerly pledged a good amount of dough to Armikrog‘s Kickstarter campaign and patiently waited for the day it would finally release. A modern-day spiritual successor to one of my favorite childhood games? Sign me up. When Armikrog was announced, I was on cloud nine. The Neverhood certainly has its fair share of problems and might not be the best game in the world, but it’s just such an interesting game that I can forgive those issues. It was a game that my dad and I played together and beat together. It was one of the first games that I ever played. The Neverhood is a very important game to me.
