Saw the trailer and thought: there's gotta be more to it than this - maybe a zombie invasion, a cool mechanic like Life is Strange or at least some awesome off-kilter conversation options - let's check it out.
The big twist is: there isn't.

I get how they wanted to make a game about taking time away from that awful big city life and how your hometown is actually quite nice after all but here's what I took away from the experience:



Delivering post is great when cos when you get injured /ill/retire after 30 years you can afford to fuck off to Florida and get wasted every night whilst your daughter does the work for you.

When your boss is calling you every day of your 'vacation' begging for you to accept a huge stake in the company and seven figure salary, you only get two options: take it or leave it.
No room for negotiating a slightly longer holiday or even a sabbatical, this is the 80s: you either suck the corporate cock or you become a hippy selling Betamaxes out of a stolen campervan with your mildly psychotic manic pixie girlfriend.

Or you settle for the equally introverted beefcake beardbear bastard, move back into your parents house and never look back/forward again.

I think the real issue with the choice at the end is that I can easily see a true middle way - move to the big city, continue to work at the job I excel at and use the mad 80's tech $$$ to fund my girlfriend's geeky videostore project - sounded ideal...

but no - you gotta choose between (actual ) "money" or a contrived idealistic concept like "freedom" or "hometown hunk" (?)

Honestly though, this game does feature some of the best campfire stoner jams I have every heard.

That bit was worth all three of the stars on its own. priceless.
