Size Five Games·Released Feb 21, 2020·Single player
A fast-paced Point-and-Click adventure for the modern era! Join adventurer Ben and wannabe indie darling platformer Dan in a race against time to prevent all the Apocalypses happening at the same time.
That's not to say the gameplay isn't good. Both sides of the game are fun to play, and again, controls are well thought out, allowing you to hop between the two to make progress. Most interesting is when the duo have an effect on each other, such as crafting upgrades for Dan using Ben's inventory items. There's a lot going on here, and while it's occasionally a little clumsy, its humour and ingenuity make it a success.
Heh, I'm still smiling thinking about Lair of the Clockwork God. It's so cheeky. I love how it does everything in servi…
Lair of the Clockwork God is a difficult one to score. What it does well is brilliant – the humour is great, with constant jokes both quickfire and slow-burn – but the gameplay is a more complex matter. While it's not bad by any reasonable metric, it is awkward in places.
Clockwork God celebrates the tension between old and new, and finds profound comedy in the juxtaposition. It’s Size Five’s masterpiece.
The kind of game you'll be quoting for years to come.
