The planet in its gunky state is dark and bleak but once you have cleared all the gunk out the foliage springs to life before your eyes as plants, tree’s and grass all unfold in glorious fashion. One of the most satisfying elements and something that is an indicator of your progress within an area is the visuals. Navigating moving platforms, avoiding hazards and pulling levers are all used to a balanced degree though don’t expect anything groundbreaking like the third coming of Mario. Platforming is the name of the game in between sucking up the gunk and I am pleased to say (as someone who sucks at platforming) it all works really smoothly. A few environmental hazards/puzzles might get you scratching your head for five minutes, but the experience never becomes overwhelming. Enemies take various forms, but most are simple to overcome making this a relaxing experience while being accessible to younger gamers. The gameplay loop is pretty basic and although some enemies and puzzle elements are introduced to mix things up, they never detract from the narrative which is played out with some solid voice acting between Rani and Becks.Įach section of the planet is its own little hub which you can explore to find various resources and scan foliage (the achievements are fairly straightforward in this one) resources allow you to upgrade Pumpkin and also give yourself a helping hand by increasing resilience or unlocking sprint. Throughout the 4-5 hour campaign, the story unfolds at a steady pace and although it never does anything truly drastic, it does deliver an engaging narrative that is as much about the state of the planet Rani is exploring as well as throwing a few nods at the state of our own planet. Doing so is the core mechanic of the gameplay, suck up gunk, watch foliage come back to life which opens up new pathways and areas to explore all while uncovering the mysteries of the planet and its long-lost civilisation. The game puts you in control of Rani, an optimistic and inquisitive explorer who sets out to investigate the planet surface only to find that the area may not be as lifeless as it first appears.įear not, there are no leathery objects containing face-hugging parasites here, but there is a lot of black splooging liquid that becomes known as, you guessed it, The Gunk! Dun-Dun-DUUUUUUN! Using a device that is affectionately called “Pumpkin” Rani is able to suck up the gunk (though I never quite figured out where it all goes) and reveal the vegetation beneath. After discovering an energy signal from a strange planet, space scavengers Rani and Becks head down in search of resources. Originally announced in July 2020, The Gunk comes to us from developer Image & Form who are best known for their popular SteamWorld series, however, The Gunk is their first step into the world of 3D graphics for which they utilised the Unreal 4 engine.
