I have nothing but praise for this game. Right from the start it's incredibly endearing, filled with fantastic writing that both manages to be real and topical, and maintain an air of humour. The writing is top notch. Every character introduced is unique and by far the majority of them have something to amuse and entertain. Good writing and dialogue in games is incredibly important to me, and Hot Tin Roof never fails to satisfy or impress. The theme and setting are used perfectly, which combined with the wonderful music really makes the game an enjoyable experience.

The gameplay is basic, but that's in no way a bad thing. It's a non-violent Metroidvania, in which you gather new types of ammo for your revolver which in turn give you access to new abilities. The basic ammo lets you break boxes. The bubbles let you reveal secrets. The grappler lets you climb. Each time you find a new one, you're unlocking a new part of the world that you couldn't access before.

The world feels really big, too. Overwhelming at first, but you can quickly get used to it. This feeling returns every time you find some new location to explore as well, making everything even -bigger-. I would've appreciated a good map to go with the game; if there is one, I couldn't find it, which has you relying on memory to figure out where to go, where you've been. Like I said though, you'll learn your way around the place soon enough.

It's a good game, and the price is perfect. I recommend this whole heartedly. :)
