Review 1: (8)
It seems like the particular edgy atmosphere that surrounds this entire game could exclude some gamers, but there is no doubt that it has its appeal. The island on which this game is set is not large, but that keeps the gameplay at a good pace. If you love games you’ll have a hard time not smiling at all the low-key video game characters. Some parts go off on some wild flights of fancy, but I was thankful for all the gags.

All of the characters’ personalities, mannerisms, and lines were really awesome. You really get a feeling that they are alive as they change their behaviors from night to day. You can feel their obsessions as their actions make you laugh With all of the vulgarity and jokes on classic games that overflow from this game, I would suggest it to more experienced game players.
Review 3: (8)
There’s a lot of originality in the characters, the story, and the back and forth of dialog, which makes interacting with the residents of the island fun. However, the originality in some parts is so overpowering that it may alienate some people. That said, there is no doubt that once you start playing you’ll just keep on playing and lose track of time. There are very few restrains on gameplay so it’s easy to relax and play this at a leisured pace.

This is a really stupid story with really minor Nintendo characters, but sometimes it moves you, and it has a strange way of burying a place for itself in your heart. All the casual comments, music, and dirty jokes slowly build upon themselves. The original worldview of the developer that oozes out of this game is incredibly captivating. The monotony that you can end up feeling from the gameplay makes it more for experienced players, but there are a lot of elements that drag you in.
Most people said that this game was going to suck. But the reviews are pretty good...I should also mention that Famitsu doesn't do decimals in their ratings.
