This one surprised me. Reventure is a very simple game, gameplay wise. Explore the kingdom to find all 100 endings to the story, picking up items each run to find interesting ways to bring the story to a close. There's a lot of humour that - at least in my eyes - misses the mark; lots of gore, unfitting jumpscares, long bits of text with huge pauses, and endless pop-culture references.

Still, I think this game is something special. There's a surprising sense of progression as endings you achieve unlock shortcuts and items for other endings, and by the end you really do have a good feel for how to explore the map. A tricky task at first since collecting items - while unlocking different paths for you to explore - directly impacts the height of your jump.

This is a game that plays to its strengths well. The world, gameplay and characters all reflect the endings you've collected. Spend enough time in it and that cringe-inducing humour can even grow on you. At least a little...

This was yet another game I became interested in due to it having unofficial Archipelago support. I think it'll be a great addition to my randomizer rotation, but even beyond that it was absolutely worth the vanilla playthrough.
