![]() ![]() ![]() Once I got my bearings, though, I did actually have fun platforming around this world and sucking up gunk. But it’s not at all what I expected, and from the reviews I read closer to release, I wasn’t alone. Now, I don’t necessarily consider this a bad thing I like linear games sometimes. ![]() There’s some very light action, and some slightly frustrating navigation and puzzling, but for the most part it’s all linear. But for the most part, The Gunk is actually a short, very linear platformer. The early introduction of collecting materials for crafting certainly nods toward the latter. From the trailers and screenshots, I was expecting this game to be focused on exploration and maybe survival. The visual splendor was expected, but what did surprise me was the gameplay. When it’s running at a smooth 60 frames per second, it’s that much better The Gunk benefits from the higher frame rate more than I figured a game like this would. Part of the fun of sucking up the game’s titular “gunk” is watching the surrounding area turn from dark and dead to bright and colorful it really is just great to look at. The native plants and animals stand out as being unique, but not so crazy that they take attention away from the overall feel or the gameplay.

This is the official synopsis for The Gunk, and a brand new trailer with a short presentation can be found below, as well as ten new screenshots, which reveal a really good looking adventure. It will also be included with Xbox Game Pass starting day 1. But fortunately they will keep their promise, as The Gunk will be released on December 16 and will likely be one of the last releases of this year. ![]() It was announced July 2020 during a Microsoft stream, and the plans was always to release it this year, something they've stood by while the year has been coming to an end.
