Norco feels like a game tailored for me. Geography of Robots made a smart choice by extracting the 90's adventure game pixel art design while leaving the tedious and unintuitive puzzle design.

This game is all about the narrative. Between the dystopian cyberpunk politics and southern gothic tendencies, there's a lot of world building and characters to chew on.

The combat is nothing special, but it was never supposed to be the focus. I do wonder about a version of this game that has no combat whatsoever, but it doesn't affect the overall impression. Can't wait to see what else this studio makes next.
