The Gunk This is a fun little indie adventure platformer with a message that boils down to "destroying the planet = bad." Basically you and your partner land on this alien planet to investigate a mysterious energy signature, and discover everything is covered with this weird Gunk! And conveniently you have a vacuum for an arm! So you start sucking up the Gunk, and as you clear out each area you restore life to it and everything gets all green and pretty. And basically that's the game. There's some extremely light puzzle solving and combat, but pretty much you're vacuuming up Gunk. It sounds simple, and it is, but it's also very satisfying. It could have stood to change things up a little more, but the whole game is only like 4-5 hours so even if it gets kind of repetitive it doesn't overstay its welcome. I enjoyed my time with it, and it's on Game Pass, so if you are a subscriber I'd recommend checking it out, but I wouldn't recommend buying it. Grade: B-
