Figment? More like Higgs-ment. (Patreon)

Another night alone in my Gamer Tomb, another weird game no one's ever heard of. This one is called Figment and for all I know it might be a figment of The Blue Glow itself. Only my own irradiated brain would be demented enough to cook up a character like The Gangly Coofer. That's a real character, in this actual game. That tells you everything you need to know, i think.

Want more? Okay fine. It's not just a game devised by the diseased mind of a madman, it's a game about the diseased mind of a madman. It takes place in a brainscape, presumably my own, and is very deliberately not subtle about it. 

You play as a cool but rude cat man, with a bird who makes dad jokes, everything's silly and dripping with wacky sounds, the environments all look like a Dr. Seuss book had sex with a Monty Python cartoon, and within the first ten minutes you have to fight a 4 armed fart cloud slinging, alternative rock singing nightmare monster played by Troy Baker doing the same slimy hick voice he already did in Death Stranding because Higgs was clearly too delightful of a performance for one game, a creative choice i greatly respect. 

This game is okay. Too okay. Dangerously close to being good. Too close for comfort, if you ask me. The only thing less comfortable are the creepy Troy Baker nightmares you're gonna have after watching me play this, let alone attempting to play it yourself. So play at your peril and don't say i didn't warn you cause i clearly just did.
