Lil Gator Game

• Genre: Adventure
• Time Played: 5-10 Hours
• Too Short/Long: Pretty much just right for what it is.
• Pleased/Disappointed: Pleased, it's a cute lil game.
• Why I played: Because it's like Zelda. I think I saw it in some "Games to play while you wait for Tears of the Kingdom" list, but I only put it on my wishlist and by time it was on sale, Tears of the Kingdom was out(or about to be).
• Recommend to others: It's a very cute game and if a super simplified chill game that references Zelda stuff sounds like something you're into, I would definitely check it out.

On the complete opposite spectrum of Zelda games is Lil Gator Game. I guess I shouldn't say opposite because it's all there in spirit. It would more be opposite if I just played Darksiders. But still, this was a relatively short romp through a playground with no real stakes to speak of. You have no health bar, there are no enemies that attack back, and failed challenges are very quickly restarted, the ones that are even possible to fail.

This is basically a video game version of playing pretend Zelda. For me, it's very nostalgic, because as a young kid, I would in-fact, play pretend Zelda. I only could have dreamed of it being nearly a elaborate as it is in this game though.

It's mostly just cute, a lil guy trying to get his big sister to larp with him like they used to, but she's too busy to GM a game and has to work on her project. The game definitely choked me up a bit, as I expected it would.
