Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

I was definitely a bit put off by the graphics from the Hex, and didn't really get the references to it in Inscryption. I might give it a try since you're recommending it.

Pony Island was a hell of a game, though. I remember watching the gameplay videos and being impressed at how innovative Daniel Mullins games were.

Pleeeeeeease try the hex, and go in blind. I ended up liking it MORE than Inscryption, and I LOVE Inscryption. The Hex is a fucking masterpiece and I think the “graphics” you see in previews really held back lots of people (including me) from playing it.

But Yahtzee mentioned it as one of the best games he’s played in a review and refused to elaborate, and usually when he does that it means I should just pick it up and go in blind (see: The forgotten city)

Incredible experience, if you even kinda enjoyed Pony Island… oh man, PLEASE get The Hex and if you do, please come back here and let me know how you felt at certain points. It would make me so happy, it’s soooo difficult to get anyone to experience that amazing game. And it’s like NO MONEY hahaha
