The Henry Stickmin Collection

So nowadays it seems like the only thing Innersloth is known for is making hit game Amogoose (fun fact: the guy saying "amogus" in that one meme is from an alt-right webcomic), but they've also produced the game this review will discuss... Dig2China Free!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah and they also made the Henry Stickmin Collection.

Now if you've never played a Henry Stickmin game before, you're really missing out. They started as a series of 5 games on Newgrounds (Breaking the Bank, Escaping the Prison, Stealing the Diamond, Infiltrating the Airship, and Fleeing the Complex) starring a stickman named Henry getting into increasingly troublesome scenarios. The typical gameplay loop is that after a cutscene plays, you get a choice between 2-4 options for Henry to perform, such as using a portal gun or jumping. Typically, only 1 or 2 of the options actually lead to success and the rest lead to death, featuring funny failure screens!

The successes then lead into yet more cutscenes with yet more options, with most games having multiple endings. It's a very fun and very replayable gameplay formula that works very well within the context of the game. But, some aspects of the Newgrounds originals were sorta unpolished, which is where the remastered version comes in!

In 2020 Puffballs United and Innersloth came together to make The Henry Stickmin Collection, a fantastic remastering of all 5 original games plus a wholly new one, Completing the Mission. It's an utterly fantastic remake and wholeheartedly deserves the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam.

So what's the verdict? Play it. It's only $15, so you might as well. Also, this review sucked.

Perfect in everway and form. I absolutely recommend this game to everyone of all ages.

The Henry Stickmin Collection is a collection of the Henry Stickmin series of games, all remastered with new art. This game is essentially a choose your own adventure game, where you pick one of the choices thrown at you and 1 or more succeed.

Another cool thing about this game is that every path in the final game has its own twist to the story. It's a culmination of what you picked up until that point. Like going on a space mission with your buddies, or on your own, if you didnt have buddies in the previous endings.

I think this game is pretty cool, and I would recommend it.

You read the title. This game has no right being this good. The voice acting, almost all of which is done by a SINGLE PERSON, is fantastic giving each character their own charm and personality. The writing is extremely witty to the point where I showed my parents this game and they enjoyed it. Of course the greatest character of all (other than Charles) is the text the appears on the fail screen. I cannot stress how brilliant this is and how much it adds to the game (I won't elaborate here because this would be 30 paragraphs long). I could go on and on about the references and the simple yet fun and effective choices and branching paths system that governs the game but all you need to know is please buy this game. $15 is a bargain because this game is priceless.
