I have no nostalgia for AVGN, as I never watched him growing up, so I had to take this game for what it was at face-value.
Unfortunately, even knowing this game was a parody of the retro game genre and of YouTube/Twitch culture, I just don't think this game was for me. The troll mechanics, combined with pretty unforgiving difficulty (two hearts on normal!) and the smarmy (and at times pretty childishly vulgar) dialogue made for a really unpleasant experience for me personally, even if I can appreciate the clever game design as a fellow game dev. Which is too bad, because the art is supremely cute (as I would expect from a WOAH MAAAN game!) and the sound design is very authentic, which gave the game some good value.
I've always been a fan of MST3K and have always wondered kind of how that would translate; this is skimming close to the idea of such a concept, which I think is the best part about the game even if I didn't particularly like the execution.
