    Great graphics and art style, nice music and simple story but the game play was very, very satisfying.
    I did not expect so great experience from this game : started at the evening and finished next day at night (or in the morning - depending on how you look at).
    It's a pity that so few languages ​​are supported, MS could support the team in this matter. But anyway great game, now, one of    Great graphics and art style, nice music and simple story but the game play was very, very satisfying.

    Haven't played much of it, but can Russians just kindly F**k Off? 'Disregard'? Who cares about your localization? And you blame the developer with an Xbox hashtag?
    Must be too much vodka making you all retarded.

    I'm from Hungary, last time we had localized voice in a big game was like 15 years ago, and even today, we need to download fan made localizations for every game because nobody cares about us, even though we're in the heart of Europe. My girlfriend can't speak English, so I can hardly play anything with her, without those fan made locals.
    So, 0 points cause you can't hear your own voice in a game? Let me tell you, no person on earth wants more voices other than English.    … Expand

    I loved the art style and graphchis of game, animations wasn't super good but they were ok, the main problem was game play, there are 3-4 game mechains and you see and use them along the entire game and it is only fun first 2 hours then you just turn off your brain and walk i hope we will see another title like this game but with more various game mechanis,3d modells, more clear animations

    Grafisch völlig ok und ausreichend, schön gestaltete Welt, gute Steuerung, geradlinige Story ohne große Plot Twists. Genau das richtige, wenn man nicht die großen 80 Stunden Blockbuster ein halbes Jahr spielen möchte. Fühlt sich zur keiner Zeit gestreckt an. Die "kurze" Spieldauer ist genau richtig. Tolles Spiel, kann man nur weiterempfehlen!Grafisch völlig ok und ausreichend, schön gestaltete Welt, gute Steuerung, geradlinige Story ohne große Plot Twists.

    Graphically completely ok and sufficient, beautifully designed world, good controls, straight story without big plot twists. Exactly the right thing if you don't want to play the big 80-hour blockbuster for half a year. Never feels stretched. The "short" playing time is just right. Great game, can only recommend it!    … Expand

    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.
