Wildermouth is an interesting game where a lot of people's experiences are going t pretty different. It creates like an arch nemesis that is genuinely imposing and without being totally drowning in lore. When things line up, it feels the moments where it lands - but when they don't you're left feeling unsatisfied. The story can kind of be pulling you in one direct and you can kind of pull in a different way. And that ebb and flow makes for something that feels more chaotic.
THE RITUAL IS COMPLETE. Once again, we've weighed the merits of EVERY VIDEO GAME released in 2021, and named one of them the ultimate victor. May the Gaming Gods bless us with an even richer crop in the coming year, and also happy holidays, or whatever.
