    Away: Journey to the Unexpected is a thoroughly abnormal game that triumphs when its oddities all click. When you’re rolling out there switching between your little boy, robot bounty hunter, and drunk wizard and blazing through battles against colorful foes, it’s excellent, but when the repetitive areas and roguelite malaise starts to creep in, it falters. If all works out, by the time you hit that point, you’ll be rolling the credits.

After attacking your first monster you realize where the developers spent all their time. It wasn't with the combat which gives you almost no depth using your melee attack. The game requires 3 unlocks before enter the boss area. There's little to no randomization and the XP you game after you die leads to 2 hearts and not much else. The stars you earn from unlocking playable characters allows you to open doors in your house to pointless dialogue that adds nothing.

    Basically the game play is boring and best and frustrating at worst. I feel like i got "jebaited" into buying this game and hopefully no one else makes this mistake    … Full Review »
