    Void Terrarium is an amazing game that is fun, addicting, and engaging, and I cannot recommend it enough. First, let's talk about the presentation. The visuals and sound design are amazing, with a gorgeous artstyle and great music. The story is a bit slow, but I found myself caring about the characters. It follows a robot as he helps take care of the last remaining human on earth. With theVoid Terrarium is an amazing game that is fun, addicting, and engaging, and I cannot recommend it enough. First, let's talk about the presentation. The visuals and sound design are amazing, with a gorgeous artstyle and great music. The story is a bit slow, but I found myself caring about the characters. It follows a robot as he helps take care of the last remaining human on earth. With the help of a computer ai, you nurse the little girl and care for her in a terrarium. This game can be difficult at first, but that's the point. Like the Disgaea series, the point of the game is to grind until the game becomes easier. In Void Terrarium however, it is a little different. Every time you enter a level, you start at level 1. You get stronger by crafting items to decorate the Terrarium with, which gives you permanent stat increases and other perks. You need to gather resources to craft those items, and you're not going to get very far without a little bit of grinding. Fortunately, you eventually unlock something similar to the item world from Disgaea, which makes it easier to gather resources. This game is a roguelike rpg like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, and even if you haven't played other games in the genre like myself, you can still get into it, though it may take time to get into. NIS is known for having somewhat overpriced games, but I can happily say that this game is worth the price. The game is only $25, and I have played nearly 50 hours, and I haven't even beat the game! There are achievements that will add many hours to the game, and while there isn't a ton of content, the pretty much mandatory grinding will increase the hours and make the experience fairly lengthy, and I mean that in all the right ways.

    Unlike that other game about the mushroom-y apocalypse, Void Terrarium is an optimistic game despite its dour premise. It isn’t afraid to be funny even in a sad context, and it really clings onto a sense of hope.

    It is exceedingly rare to have a video game bring up what essentially amounts to existentialism, and raise questions about a player's own life, all with very little dialogue. The emotional engagement for having the two primary characters not talk was stunning, and the inversion of real life pet toys was an interesting irony this played with very well. The setting, atmosphere, and story, were the high marks of the game, and while the actual dungeon crawling is purely average, having the girl back at home that constantly needed taking care of, added a needed sense of tension. Being able to raise deep concepts about duty, life and entertainment, makes this stand far above many other games.

    With a beautiful atmosphere, loveable characters, and intuitive controls, Void Terrarium is a great dungeon crawler for those looking to dip their toes into the genre. Unfortunately, it lacks substance beyond that, rendering it a pretty unremarkable entry in the rougelike game canon.
