    Donut County is a singular experience that transcends its simple, but potent core mechanic thanks to its idiosyncratic humor, clever gameplay twists, and a gleeful sense of what makes swallowing the world into a hole so cathartic.

    Donut County presents a simple concept to players: collect objects to make a hole larger until the entire stage is clear. Done poorly, no one would remember the experience whatsoever. Developer Ben Esposito turns something mechanically simplistic into a joy via smart design. The adorable world inhabited by colorful characters is something we desperately need more of in games. Donut County might not be a long experience, but it’s one that players can’t help but cherish.

    Donut County is a short, entertaining tale of a trash panda who just wants a sweet quadcopter.

    Donut County won’t solve or illuminate that massive, multifaceted societal issue, but it will give you a chance to lay back, relax, and throw it down a hole.

    It may be a very short diversion, but Donut County is a delight. It’s absolutely brimming with personality, has a killer soundtrack and visual aesthetic, and is based on an irresistible gameplay hook. I’d have loved more, but I guess I’ll just settle for playing through it again.

    Donut County isn't going to challenge your wits, but it does provide a relaxing experience that's bound to make you laugh.

    Like a donut, it's sweet and satisfying, but you're acutely aware that there's a hole in the middle of it.

Typically, I play larger, open-world games and shooters and "smaller" games like this one haven't really popped up on my radar.

    Having played this it has opened me up to indie games in general. I enjoyed this game. It is good fun to kick back and relax to. Some parts made me chuckle. The gameplay was engaging, not too taxing but not dull.    … Expand

    Não espere algo transcendental ou extremamente divertido. Apesar da crítica estabelecida na história, o jogo foi feito com o intuito de ser uma experiência rápida e divertida. Caso você esteja na dúvida do que jogar, tente jogá-lo; em uma jogatina, você consegue finalizá-lo.    … Expand

    Donut County's quirky cutscenes aren't enough to disguise how boring it is.
