Lil Gator Game

TLDR: A wholesome coming of age story that hits close to home, wrapped in a simple but charming adventure that anyone can enjoy even if it lacks depth or intriguing systems.

It's exploration focused game with great movement system influenced by equipped items collected over the campaign (there're a lot of them with impressive amount of polish).

The mechanics of how the game progresses within completing the story segments and the way it controls along with how you move lil gator around are beautifully simple, accompanied by a really cute 3D art style with popping vibrant colours making it appealing for all ages.

I played through the main story in about 4 hours and exploring the map while fighting monsters is really fun, it reminded me of playing games with my friends in the park as a kid.

The audio visual part of the game is phenomenal, very pleasant color pallette, chariming goofy animations on almost all of the characters in the game, and a cozy soundtrack that only adds to the experience.

Volume mixing was also pretty good, although I played this on a Steam Deck, so maybe some of them are actually loud on headphones.
