annnddddd... cancelled.
Next Penelope does *look* cool. But play-wise it's just alright. The packaging is fantastic though. I'll give them that. It actually comes in a sturdy clamshell, which I like better than the cardboard boxes. I'd rank this one along with Rogue Legacy as a game I like, and will probably dabble with on and off, but I don't love it and don't feel great that I spent $20 on it. Plus, it's still in Early Access. I'm already conflicted enough on the concept, so I'm not thrilled that I bought a physical release of an unfinished game.
That said, I probably would have kept the service another month after this game, but looking ahead to April's release, it just looks really unappealing to me. So I guess it's time to pull the plug. I feel bad. I really like supporting this service. And honestly, the prices are very low compared to the quality of physical stuff you get. But the sad truth is that after 10 months, I've gotten very few games that I genuinely enjoy.
