A Short Hike meets Breath of the Wild resulting in a quirky, wholesome little package that I loved every second of.
Lil Gator Game isn't just another "BOTW-inspired game" it is inspired by Zelda on a meta level that fits and is crucial to the actual story of the game. You are playing a lil gator who literally grows up playing Zelda pretend with his sister, and now you're putting on the biggest pretend Zelda game all over the island - exploring, completing little quests, battling cardboard foes. It's cute, short, and sweet. More games like this please.
My only complaint is that, while exploration is the point of the game, without a map, quest log, or quest markers, it was a little too easy to lose your bearings on the island and have trouble finding your way to the next quest.
+ Delightfully wholesome
+ Touching little story
+ Love letter to Zelda fans
+ Feels surprisingly really good to play
- Occasionally difficult to find where you need to go
