New Ice York

Okay, I can't suffer any more of this. I'm throwing in the towel. [b]I'm sort of confused because [i]Ticket[/i] was just so fresh and exciting, and [i]New Ice York[/i] is just... A series of uninteresting fetch-quests.[/b] The artwork is all samey (and dare I say haphazard). The music is good at first, but very quickly becomes all too repetitive and almost grating. The story is utterly cliche. [b]I think Magicweedoo needs to spend less time with the trailers, and more time with fleshing out an interesting game with interesting mechanics.[/b] They did it with [i]Ticket[/i], so I'm not sure what the problem was here. The dialogue is funny and a bit clever at times, but in general with this title I'd say it's mostly just all over the place. And not in a good way. I was always hoping to turn a corner and find something compelling and really interesting, but the more I played, the more my eyes glazed over and my mind started wandering. If I'm missing some major shift in gameplay - by all ...

It's hard to think of where to start so i'll just go with a list. -Writing is great, it's got tons of charm and great humor, and thanks to the soundtrack the mood can get a bit more interesting when it needs to. -The soundtrack is fantastic, it's what gives the game so much atmosphere. Sounds good in-game and great on it's own. -The art style reminds me a bit of Jack Stauber, it's got a similar vibe to it. Messy but in a good way, it's got a nice amount of appeal to it imo, it's style kinda fits the tone of the game too. Also helps with the humor since some of the posters got a genuine laugh out of me. -Soundtrack sounds a lot cleaner outside the game, it's not really an issue but i felt it was worth mentioning. You can check out the higher quality versions for free on the OST's Bandcamp upload. http://dweedes.bandcamp.com/album/new-ice-york-ost -The table tennis minigame results in no reward, which is odd since it makes it kind of pointless. -Near the end [spoiler]when the cheif of...

I originally saw this game on the "Upcoming" tab, and thought to myself, "Gee, this game looks like absolute trash.". So, feeling oddly enticed, I clicked on it. The first trailer started playing, and holy god. I realized what this game was trying to be. The somewhat cringe-comedic trailers sold me on this game. I decided then and there that I was going to give this thing a go, "No questions asked". I've only played for a few minutes as of now, and I'm really digging the soundtracks, reminds me of oldschool runescape. Nothing else to say at this point. I say buy it if you want to see some weird shit. Also, them fellers at the Ristorante seem very suspicious, especially the chef. Guy screams guilty. Whats with them garbage bags blocking that hallway? Hiding something? You just earned the top spot on my list of suspects. 10/10. Would start up and play for a few minutes again.

Better than Undertale.

best game i ever play

This game is so much more than I expected it to be. At first, playing it- I was charmed by how weird it was but after playing through it, I found myself feeling connected to this universe and the characters within it. It's intuitive- familiar, but totally different. Refreshingly fun, and an overall great release by magicdweedo, an artist I've really enjoyed since Mealmate(tm). Make sure to check out the soundtrack, too- it's really catchy!

This game was part of the itch.io charity bundle which is already great. I purchased this because it's such a bizarre and wonderful experience. It's an adventure game with a few minigames. It's sometimes incredibly, aggressively unpleasant to look at (this is purposeful) and it's mostly just a wild ride. Give it a go, it's unique and interesting.

This game is like art; you need to understand it if you want to appreciate it. The game has an entertaining story that resembles detective movies. The randomness is never left aside, which gives an interesting and funny turn to what the plot is about. One thing that is very notorious in this game is the predominance of the colour blue, which gives an artistic touch if you ask me. One more thing to add is the OST, which is one of the best features in my opinion. Some tunes are chill while others are straight up RAD. So yes, as an RPG all I can say is that it's hella good and it's worth giving a try. 10/10 would be on a bus again

Love this games ever changing dialogue depending on what you just did, it changes constantly. Every character always had interesting and funny things to say, so I found myself just wondering around talking to everyone most of the time. Game play has some fun mechanics later on, the bug minigame was neat, the platforming sections were fun, and the [spoiler] Hell [/spoiler] section was a cool change of pace. If anything you should just play this game for the ending, it was unexpected and doesn't pull any punches with the cruelty which, while brutal, is something I haven't seen done in many games I go for. I'll just say it, there aint a happy ending, and I like that. If you can get past the visual design and color choice, I think this game is worth a shot. DEFINITELY get it on sale though.

Well, "New Ice York" is - on a sober perspective - a 2D-top down detective adventure game with overmap location switching, puzzle solving and some coarse 2D platforming and punch-out-like fist-fight gameplay. The story is hilariously crude and lends towards the cryptic detective-media that is often referred as "cult classic", but I personally found it less endearing than the other entries of "magicdweedoo". Still, it is so punkish, MS-paintish and so far out there that I can still recommend it for people who dig outlandish experiences and I can deeply root from the passion from which it derived from. It takes under 2 hours to beat with minor replayability on some aspects that you may have missed. And I can wholeheartedly say that we need more folks like this developer!
