Summary

Sir Whoopass Immortal Death is a fantastic game full of humor and charm but also compelling gameplay. The game takes the mick out of games past whilst also sprinkling in some modern digs. The combat is mashy but fun, the puzzles are short and clever but the world is the true standout, vast and full of secrets and the best part is you can freely roam every inch of it! I fell in love with the game instantly as it got right into it with no faff, the general flow whilst a bit stilted in places, was such that I could maybe not always find my objective but I could find my own fun. Anyone and everyone can get fun out of the game due to the comical atmosphere. Sir Whoopass Immortal Death is a surprise everyone should try.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
