The Gunk is a satisfying puzzle-adventure game where two down-on-their-luck space scrappers must help save an alien planet from a destructive black goo. The combat in The Gunk does feel frustratingly underbaked, but solid story pacing and excellent puzzle challenges help overshadow the struggle. For - Beautiful environment - Puzzles are enjoyable - Writing and voice acting is well done Against - Combat is underbaked - Limited accessibility options Disclaimer: This review was made possible by a review code provided by Thunderful Games.

This is an astonishingly immersive and good-natured fable, and we relished returning to it whenever we were away. It may not be long, it may not do anything groundbreaking, but The Gunk radiated good feelings whenever we picked up the pad. And, lest we forget, The Gunk does something rare for gaming; this is your chance to arrive on an alien planet and – finally – leave it in a better state than when you arrived.
