Default Ween review

I liked Ween, I really did, but still I mostly agree with your review.

Yes, Ween is kitch, the inventory navigation is awkward at best, the music and sounds are non-existant, some puzzles are tedious, the side-kicks are mostly useless, the story is completely uninteresting, and the puzzles are mostly very clever and hard as hell, but in a fair way.

I'm not so sure about the graphics, though. I liked them a lot, and found them colourful rather than "gaudy" or "jarring".

I think is worth noting that you also don't like Goblins 3 very much (perhaps there's a review incoming?), while I love it. This may account for the fact that despite all its flaws I still enjoyed playing Ween quite a bit, when you obviously didn't. To me it's a neat and pretty puzzle-fest, the same way that Goblins 3 is, even if Goblins 3 is clearly the superior game by a fair margin.
