    Games of a similar vein have never really taken my fancy (I'm looking at you Octodad and I Am Bread) as the mechanics of them just seemed like something I'd find more frustrating than fun. Thankfully this wasn't the case here (for the most part) and the mixture of the game's mechanics, animation style, and hilarious dialogue was all a recipe for a good time.

    Manual Samuel is a unique little adventure with some good moments and a bizarre (to its benefit) control scheme. It's notably short, and some levels do lean on the repetitive side, but it's rare to see something quite like this. It has a lot of soul to it, much of which is due to focusing so heavily on comedy. It's enjoyable overall and is worth looking into if you don't mind playing something a bit different than usual, even if it could have been executed better.

    Manual Samuel is a fun but irritating experience, and that's the point. A patience test that literally makes it difficult to put one foot in front of the other, its charming cartoon graphics and hilarious narrator contrast nicely with the gameplay, and it changes things up just enough to keep you entertained to the end.

    The concept of making the player perform the most basic everyday acts may seem burdensome at first but it's quick to get used to. Alas, the game disappoints when it comes to its short lifespan and high price tag for what it provides, as well to the rather uninteresting minigames included.
