Great game but it's not quite my favorite.

timeless classic

Okay but seriously, most people don't realize just how much there is to this game. Yes, it's an idle game you can just leave running, but there's so many calculations, statistics, and optimizations in this game. There's a hidden farming system, a STOCK MARKET system, a system where you can switch between passives with tradeoffs and a cost (further complicating how you want to optimize the game), and a magic system where you can do a number of things based on RNG and a percentage of your current total cookies. And an interesting legacy system where you need to carefully consider what kind of upgrades you want to carry into the next playthrough.

This game is super accessible and completely free, try it out if you want a fun time waster or are just into games involving management and statistics.

Amazing game buried beneath the f2p gacha game trappings

barely playable mess of janky early 3D combined with the worst and most infuriatingly annoying storytelling in the series

Axl's character design and the music are the only redeeming qualities in this game.

sucks

(did not collect all korok seeds, i played it for 400 hours and did everything else doe)

Genuinely good game but there isn't really much else for me to say about it. It makes you feel like Spider-Man and has fun, accessible mobility.

one of the best games of my childhood. still a fun sandbox in 2020

really good tutorial system that other series should take notes from

2014

my dad was obsessed with this game 6 years ago.

Great, goofy game that is just a tad frustrating and very unbalanced once you figure out how broken the mechanics are

Worth it for both veterans wanting to revisit it all and newcomers who don't know what an Adventure Line™ is, it's a short game just like it used to be but it has a bit more stuff bookending it now which in my opinion blends really well with the themes and humor from back in the day.
You can see the Stanley Parable as deep and thought-provoking, or contrived nonsense, or both, and it's a good time whatever way you choose to play it.
