Critic Reviews
Gamezo
By Carlos BraadtWhile this game is a great adventure, it can become a bit of a grind. Working to get the loot to create the next level of weapons feels repetitive at times. Even working the store can be a bit of a bore after the 10th day in a row of manning the shop. Thankfully an upgrade comes in that lets the items be sold through an assistant for a percentage of the profits.

By Renan FontesIn spite of an ending that arrives too soon, Moonlighter manages to offer an engaging balance of commerce and action up to the very end. There is a natural rhythm to opening the titular shop during the day only to dungeon crawl once night falls. Progression is constant, emphasizing a design philosophy that prioritizes a lack of wasted time above all else. From enhancing weapons to upgrading Rynoka, every piece of gold Will spends is in benefit to not only the player, but also the flow of it all. With surprisingly tight combat and an economy influenced exclusively by the protagonist himself, this is one of the most endearingly creative takes on action-RPGs this generation.
The Game is a Lie
By Gabriel CarliMoonlighter turns a boring chore into innovative gameplay. Its concept is unique, and it deals with overcoming in its most varied senses. Its flaws, such as the unbalanced bosses, are too small and can be easily ignored. It's a charismatic adventure that you have to try for yourself.
