    Lil Gator Game: Gator of the Year Edition is exactly what you’d hope for from a wholesome adventure: warm, funny, and heartfelt, with a surprisingly relatable and emotional story at its core. The bond between the young alligator and their sister gives real meaning to everything you do. Gameplay isn’t revolutionary; the many fetch quests can feel repetitive and there’s little real challenge. Still, the humor, charming characters, and imaginative cardboard world carry the experience, with the DLC adding fun extras without drastically changing the formula.

    Lil Gator Game: In the Dark is just as cozy as the base game. Zipping around the island looking for cardboard monsters to smash and new friends to make stays wildly relaxing, but the lack of any challenges dampens the sense of accomplishment. The cool new moves don’t have much of a purpose, and the lack of a map can get one lost. Maybe that’s the point, to get lost playing with movement tech while you think your thoughts. If so, they nailed it.
