Rain-Slicked Precipice Not That Exciting, Nulls Desire To Peek

I'm just going to come out and say it; Penny Arcade has fallen off. The comic has lost its touch with the common gamer and these days you'll hear more about Tycho and Gabe's opinion of recent mergers in the gaming industry than how they felt while playing Flower. It's still funny enough to check in with every once in a while  though, and their new episodic games aren't bad. So in the spirit on giving them a fair turn I intended to review On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode Two. But then I made this:

I get why people might like these games, but I don't. The combat is way too dull to be that repetitive and I don't know why but I can't stand reading Jerry Holkins' style of fiction (as I'm sure he probably would not enjoy my amateur style of blogging). It's as if he's always trying as hard as possible and you know he can do it but he's just not able  to (in this context).

There is a lot potential in working with both the Penny Arcade license and its creators. It'll take some big changes to fix these problems by the next game, but I have been surprised before.

Good luck guys.
