7.3/10
I know nothing about Slendytubbies other than the 2012 game, which I played before this to prepare. This is a pretty cool remake of that game.
Gameplaywise it's enjoyable and a bit more varied than expected; it carries the same central idea of roaming around a map and collecting eight objects while being pursued, that Slendytubbies 2012 did (as did its predecessor Slender: The Eight Pages). But there are some cool new elements to go along with it, such as bear traps, the presence of a few smaller threats/assistances, and short segments where the gameplay is significantly altered. It's a neat time. There's also an arcade mode which evokes the original game, including a very special appearance. Though the harder difficulties of said mode expose some aggravating quirks in the enemy AI. The final part of the main game is also a bit frustrating, but I managed.
To my understanding, this game pulls a lot narratively from Slendytubbies 3, which I only know for having a shockingly expansive and insane storyline with warfare and giant mutated Teletubbies and such. So I don't really know what's going on. But I was still interested in the story and the mystery of it all; and there's apparently an official prequel game so I'll play that next.
