    I can't in all good conscience give this higher than a nine, but if you know what you're in for, it plays like a ten. It is a Short adventure game with some mild action elements, an open world, and plenty of laughs. I love the satire, and the ironic 90s fps style anesthetic, and gameplay.

    People familiar with my tastes from my many reviews are likely well aware of my love for more unusual fare, so with that in mind I found Sludge Life to be a bit of quirky fun.

With a pretty basic focus of getting to all of the spots spread out around multiple areas tagged with your can of spray paint there’s not necessarily much depth in the gameplay, but the reward is definitely meeting and briefly interacting with a pretty wide variety of characters. On more than one occasion the dialogue got me to laugh, which isn’t always an easy thing to do with someone on the jaded side, but it’s the unpredictable nature of some conversations that spice things up. Not terribly complicated, or long, it’s a game mostly concerned with the experience and simply enjoying yourself, and sometimes it’s nice to play something a little off-center for kicks.

    Sludge Life is a first person platform game which takes place in a tiny and dirty open world. It might sound interesting, however the creators decided to focus too much on madness and crazy stuff rather than delivering a solid gameplay. The objectives are repetitive and shallow, consisting in graffiting walls and running around with no deep or meaningful task to be accomplished.

    Gross, weird, and consistently hilarious, Sludge Life is a satirical lens on very particular types of youth culture, but it’s also an experience I won’t forget anytime soon. Plus, it’s almost worth the price for the soundtrack alone.

    Sludge Life is a stylish package that plays in both the absurd and experimental space. The art style evokes a feeling of being on psychedelics with a grungy style all its own. The visuals hit hard, and the bass beats hit even harder. I was always curious to find out more and usually there was something interesting around every corner. It’s understandable that this game’s drug use and lack of direction can turn some players off, but I found it wild and truly unique. There’s really nothing like it. Sludge Life is a vibe, for sure.
