It's charming, it's beautiful, it plays great.

The 80 unique dragons alone make it worth your money.

A very tight and enjoyable homage to Metroid 2 with an amazing fever dream like soundtrack. Minor issues like a rough power-up progression path and boss skill level balance. A bit lacking in content, but worth the asking price.

Super Metroid, but as a procedurally generated rogue-like with tons of new elements and an amazing setting. Nearly a dream come true. Deserves a LOT more attention than it got!

This is a gem chiseled by someone who deeply understands his craft. Possibly the best point&click adventure game I have ever played.

It does what the old game of this type did back in the day - combines the humor and zeitgeist of the era it was made in with a completely surreal setting and surreal set of characters. It's that perfect blend, spiced up with a bit of disturbing, sometimes grotesque imagery, that was a staple of great point and clicks. The art is beautiful, the moody synth music is just honey on the ears, the locations are gorgeous as far as a post apocalyptic soviet country goes and the puzzles never feel too hard or too easy. And you want more, just more of it.

It's a passion project, and it deserves the highest praise.

Hold off from buying whatever franchise telltale has grabbed its paws on, and buy Paradigm. Then buy it for your friends, as they deserve to experience those phat ass beatsies.
