...the atmosphere feels like something out of classic Silent Hill games, especially as the motel becomes more and more run down due to your failures. The monster design is thoroughly disturbing, at least at first, and some of the body horror you’ll experience is at Outlast levels of intensity. There aren’t many games like this one out there these days

I don’t want to come across as having not enjoyed the game at all. Ziggurat 2 is a solid entry to the genre, but there are certainly more fun options out there. This will find its fans, and those who liked the original will likely enjoy this too, if for no other reason than it includes a mode similar to its predecessor. There’s some enjoyment to be found here if you play it in short bursts but trying to reach the top of this tower may not be worth the journey.

Overall, despite the minor gripes — which could get better with patches over time — it’s a great port. Immortal Redneck on the Nintendo Switch is well worth the price tag, even if you have the PC version, not least just so that you can take it on the go.

In the end, I consider The Count Lucanor to be a really nice surprise and a bloody good game. It’s a very light RPG by most standards, but you shouldn’t play it with such expectations. Instead, treat it like a fairy tale and immerse yourself in the simplicity of the puzzles and the black-and-white nature of each decision it asks you to make. It’s short and sweet enough to complete several times over, with enough variance in the endings to make it worth your time to see them all.

Like I said at the beginning, based off its own merits BOOR does exactly everything it needs in this genre of games. It’s fun and addictive but there are moments I wish BOOR thought outside the box. There is no stand out feature here that is innovative and makes this a must buy. It’s a solid well made game if you enjoy the genre. It doesn’t re-invent the wheel essentially. Coming in at €4.99/$4.99/£3.99 I can easily say it’s a safe purchase, coming far below the usual indie standard. This is more than a fair price and I recommend this game to anyone who loves the aforementioned games.
