"Be prepared to laugh, die a ton, and spend a couple of minutes here and there petting the good dog that stays by your side throughout its 20-hour story. Just remember, though: this game is not meant for kids."

"Sometimes it nails its South Park-esque situational gags, and sometimes it doesn’t. Yet if you can tolerate the occasional cringe, push through the rough edges, and aren’t easily offended by literal obscenity, you’ll find a meaty 20-hour retro adventure waiting …"
