Eets Munchies

eet ees what eet ees

Eets Munchies is an alright game, however I don't think it's as great as its predecessor. (Klei, Please bring back eets!)

Best game on Steam.com by far. Absolute masterpiece, Klei really out did themselves with this one. The fact alone that Eets has 5 trillion polygons in his model says enough about it. By far the best franchise Klei has ever released. Highly recommend for all fans of gaming- actually everyone in the world to play this once in their life, AND Eets Hunger: It's Emotional. Truly is one of gamings greatest games.

Summary

Eets Munchies is a sequel to the original flash game Eets. Munchies however is a mobile game port, rather than a game intended for PC in the first place.

Achievement hunting

Took me roughly 4 hours - no grindy or overtly boring achievements. The mystery levels are quite difficult, even with a guide however.

Pros/cons

Pros
-Good music
-Cute art style
-Workshop support allows for (technically) endless content

Cons
-Controls exactly how a mobile game would (sluggish with a mouse)
-Placement of items can be pixel precise and thus annoying
-Quite short

Opinion

I like and hate this game at the same time. The puzzles are (mostly) enjoyable, but the overall experience is bogged down by timing based mechanics which do not control well on a PC. Certain levels like mystery 1 also require pixel perfect placement, or Eets will simply not get on a platform, and thus make you feel like you're doing something wrong.

Overall most of the mystery levels are also just a mess of micro managing items as you'll often be spamming click to keep up with what's happening in a short timespan. This is just bad design when it comes to a puzzle game in my opinion as it severely limits actual thinking, and replaces it with frivolous micro management.

The video by OrangE on youtube covers well what is inherently worse about this one compared to the original game, and why it's generally to be seen as a downgrade. If you're planning on playing this then I recommend at least skimming through that one.

tldr;

Too much micro management; not enough thinking.

Should you buy it?

At least wait for a sale as it's really short.

Basically game about guiding an elderly person
