    Highly tedious, uninteresting story and somehow even less interesting characters

    For 10 hours a played **** vacuum cleaner.
    There are no actually gameplay, you just run and smash a single button. The Gunk not requared any reaction, any brain activity. There no platforming sections, no battle sections. You just press a single button for a whole game.
    Graphics looks absolutly plastic. Every location looks like a previous one. Ugly characters. A noticable thing    For 10 hours a played **** vacuum cleaner.

    Graphics looks absolutly plastic. Every location looks like a previous one. Ugly characters.

    A noticable thing here is a script. Dear Lord what the fk characters talking about. All the dialoges are chip santabarbara mashed with who-say-more-fk-work contest.

    So summary you as lgtb+rgb vacuum cleaner fights against bad male. Exept there is no fight. Pressing one button is not a fight.    … Expand

    The game is about 4-5 hours long.
    World design is nice but it repeats constantly.
    Characters design is terrible compared to the world.
    The plot is just empty.
    No challenges in gameplay, just a few mechanics.
    And the worst of all, it has a high content of political messages.

    I have gotten stuck twice, once where I needed to reset the game and a second time where the gunk can't be removed. Can't play the game anymore, needs updated to fix bugs.

    We need Russian localization.
    Вроде красивая, говно убираешь, но нет русской локализации.

    There is no Russian voice acting in the game, I'm already tired of Microsoft's disregard for players from Russia.

    Literally played 1 min. Obnoxious camera motion blur and temporal antialiasing. Blurriness all around. Lack of graphic options. Mouse at zero sensibility is like 10.000 DPI >.

    Aunque la estética puede ser pasable es un juego pequeño en todo, tienes cuatro mecánicas simples y tontas y a partir de ahí intenta hacer algo parecido al bueno del "journey to the savage planet" que sí fue un gran juego.

    Una historia cero original que no te llama en ningún momento y diseño de niveles inicial simple y con una dificultad nivel niño pequeño. No puedo comentar mucho    Aunque la estética puede ser pasable es un juego pequeño en todo, tienes cuatro mecánicas simples y tontas y a partir de ahí intenta hacer algo parecido al bueno del "journey to the savage planet" que sí fue un gran juego.

    No puedo comentar mucho más porque tras hora y media de juego me regaló el juego un bug insalvable que te bloqueaba la aventura entera, así que tras ver en reddit que era imposible solventarlo y tenía que empezar de cero otra vez lo desisntalé.    … Expand

    Jeu assez médiocre peu intuitif, les énigmes sont assez basiques et l'univers est plutôt cool mais sans être exceptionnel. Globalement un jeu moyen qui ne restera pas dans les annales

    Symulator zbierania gnoju w akompaniamencie męczących lesbijek. Okrutnie liniowy. Całą rozgrywka opiera się na parciu po prostej ścieżce, czasem podskakując. Nudny, nieciekawy - fabuła nie angażuję a rozgrywka jest tak ninjaka że w połowie gry mam wrażenie że nawet twórcy nie chcieli kombinować tylko już jak najszybciej skończyć

    The unassuming act hides a few hours of pleasant, soothing fun, where you don't have to stress with difficult enemies or overly complex puzzles. [Issue#317]

    The Gunk is a little-big surprise. It is an unconventional platforming game with puzzle elements and interesting gameplay aspects. It offers a strange world, fun game mechanics, although it doesn't have many fights and its story is a bit clumsy.

    The Gunk is a wonderful game about good friends Rani and Beck. They have a small scavening business and harvest resources in order to sell them. The fascinating story begins as soon as you land on a planet full of disgusting gunk. Once you cleared it up you can see the fantastic and colorful world that is hidden underneath the slime. Soon they even found signs of an ancient civilization. They realized that they have to discover the secret of the colorful planet in order to remove the gunk and save the former inhabitants from the threat.
