Wuppo

I know it hasn’t been long since my last post but I just couldn’t not write about this game, Wuppo may have became one of my most favourite games ever. I loved it so much that I did something I have never done before, I did a second playthough right after my first and on Insane difficulty too. I’m a casual gamer, I typically hardly play games on hard mode and I rarely played games more than once, and yet I got through this game’s Insane mode and I’m ridiculously proud of myself for that. It helped that this game is very short and very generous with its autosaves, there’s only 18 bosses (not counting the Halloween event bonus boss) and most of them have pretty easy to figure out pattern.

The best part of the game, that got me so in love with it though is the world and the characters. The world is so very charming and lovely, with great designs and worldbuilding that it absorbed me in and got me wanting to know everything about it. It’s surprisngly deep to, the stuff with Redav Kned and the source of all living beings are fascinating. The story and gameplay is mixed of different elements, there is the platformer aspect which is the main thing, it also has some nice puzzles and even some RPG like sidequests and fishing. I loved just going around learning lore and helping people, so much that I was a little dissapointed it ended so quickly. But it being short (about 8-9 hours if you play casually and do side quests) helps keep the story compact and simple, even though there are some elements I’m puzzled about that the game never made clear. Like what is that stone creature that the Bliones worship, and where did they come from? The Blussers said that one day a whole temple just fell from the sky, is it because of the Bankrent or Redav Kned? I hope that maybe someday the devs will make a sequel that adresses it, I certainly would love to return to this world again.
