Ultra Deluxe is a great example of just taking a game, brushing it up a bit, and repackaging it so that newcomers and veterans of the original can both enjoy it equally. It's genuinely a fantastic experience held back by the simple fact that it's a walking simulator so while the story is excellent, and the comedy is fantastic, and the point of the game is as clear as it is murky, the gameplay is still just walk from one point to another.

It's fantastic at taking a simple concept and running with it, and I cannot say anything less than it's a good game for sure.

I'll say though that the game gets very raw at certain points, it's very good and emotional but holy fuck when the game wants to try and break you with what it makes you do, or what it tells you, it doesn't hold anything back. So please definitely play with content warnings on, and absolutely skip certain endings if those endings might trigger something in you that makes you uncomfortable or wrong.
