    Apesar de ser um jogo extremamente simples, isso não é problema algum. Porque em nenhum momento ele se tenta ser mais do que isso.
    Sludge Life pode ser resumido como uma aventura exploratória e criativa. Que te recompensa com bizarrices e causos engraçados conforme você continua e continua explorando. Algo aos moldes do outro infame jogo JazzPunk.
    Apesar de pequeno, o universo do jogo consegue ser extremamente criativo e muito bem fundado, as vezes te dando até detalhes que você não imaginava existirem. Uma das coisas mais divertidas do jogo, é trocar informações com os NPCs, e perceber onde historias se encontram. E em muitas vezes, o próprio cenário é responsável por contar essas historias. Os mais atentos aos detalhes, com certeza terão muitas coisas pra observar e tirar conclusões dentro desse jogo.
    Sludge Life é uma aventura curta, mas extremamente divertida. Aproveitei cada segundo dentro desse universo e me diverti muito com as variáveis historias que existem dentro dele. Podendo até dizer que o graffiti é apenas um bonus em relação a tudo isso.
    No fim, o que me desapontou em relação a esse jogo, foi ele acabar. E posso até cometer um erro querendo isso, com o receio de que a longo prazo essa formula encantadora do jogo possa vir a perder a graça. Mas sem duvidas esse jogo me deixou com um gostinho de "quero mais", e realmente adoraria poder explorar mais e mais desse mundo completamente psicodélico com seus habitantes malucos, mas encantadores!
    Sem contar que não é todo jogo que deixa fumar um ciggys de boas enquanto curte uma trilha sonora simplesmente foda pra caralho. Me viciei no single do Big Mud e quero um vinil duplo com a trilha completa pra já!    … Expand

    Weird and yet intriguing game. You have to keep in mind this is a really short game (3h for 3 endings). The game is very artsy and pleasing to discover; each NPC is weirder than the last. The music bops. Great relaxing experience. It has some open world elements, side quests, platforming and items unlocks. It feels like a one shot experience, and a nice one.

    This game is very weird but it is interesting in that right as well the art style is similar to other games but vey intriguing as well the music is fantastic to give off a vibe to the game the only thing somewhat lacking is the game play but this seems to be an art piece first game second

    A solid game with an appealing, low budget aesthetic. Reminded me a lot of Pony Island in tone, mixed with a bit of angsty, late-ninties-playstation visuals. You're not gonna log 2,000 hours into it but it's more than worth playing at least once. Very Speedrunable.

    a psychedelic platform game, it is one of the weirdest titles that i played, but being a weird game doesnt mean that is a bad game, this is one of the best short games that i know, and the feeling that gives u the island and the characters in it, are the best for a vandalism game.
    another important factor is the humor of the game this is funny for how crazy it is.

    The game is [Fun, Humorous, Curious, Artistic, Unique]

    This game will entertain you, because it has a unique atmosphere and a great art direction, outside of which it encourages you the exploration to complete the game and do all the graffiti, although the world in general is small, but in the right measure for what the game proposes, it has several collectibles, Easter eggs, and it's fun in all aspects. Because it is a more "indie" indie game, it does its job well, and because it is more of a fun game, and for you to finish it in some hours, it doesn’t focus on history, being a free play not so hard to reset.

    => VERDICT:
    The verdict is that if you are looking for a more relaxed game, it gives you more freedom to do what you want, without arresting you to a story, and it's short and fun, you better play it and become the greatest graffiti artist that that polluted city has ever seen.

    Its a really good game, its funny interesting, open world. there are "achievements" and a ton of things to explore, it's not the best game, but its really good.

    A great, surreal experience. It's a walking simulator with spectacular visuals and a good message. Essentially a fun little sandbox to poke around in, with main core concept coming down to navigating around and just interacting with the funny **** and characters. If that doesn't sound appealing than it probably won't be, but I loved it.

    A nicely condensed experience which contains more world building than most "AAA" titles. Everything is uniquely stylised from the menus to the music. If your looking for a relaxing semi-platformer with interesting characters and music definitely pick this game.

    Devolver often delivers weird games that take familiar ideas or mechanics and deliver cool twists on them. Loop Hero is a very good example of how this approach can succeed. Sludge Life has good tunes and a new presentation style but it needed more in the way of either gameplay or narrative to deliver a truly cool experience.

    Brief and more of an experience than anything else, Sludge Life is a chill way to spend a couple of hours.

    Sludge Life is a first-person, open-world platformer filled with strange sightings, childish humor, and a unique retro windows 3.1 UI. For the right platformer gamer, this divergence from the norm may provide several hours of enjoyment, but with no lasting draw to explore apart from graffiti tags and pictures, and no extenuating interaction with the world or characters, don't expect Sludge Life to grab you for more than a few hours.
