Fleeing the Complex (Relatively Spoiler-Free)
Finally, another game in the Henry Stickmin Saga!
 
Intro: This game is more of a comedic story type, akin to a choose your own adventure game, rather than a more "game-ish game". The memes range from gut-bustingly hilarious to interesting little easter eggs. It is a direct improvement from the previous game in the series, Infiltrating the Airship.

What the game is: For starters, the game immediately presents 4 choices, all leading to their respective endings, but two have 2 possible routes within them, and one of them is what the series is known for, a comedic fail. The game is more of an experience, so spoiling any endings or secrets would ruin it as there's not much substance in the game if tthose are ruined. Also, there are references to the previous game endings which are all simultaneously canon, most obviously shown in a choice mid way throughout one of the 4 possible routes. In this choice, you have to choose between the government or the antagonists from the previous game, the Tophat clan. The various referneces such as the choice show the time, love and thought Puffballs United put in the game to please the long time fans and for the new players, there are multiple references to more popular franchises, such as Mario, Metal Gear Solid, Fire Emblem and even Punch Out!

Hacks: Currently, there are no hacks for the game most likely because thee is no need for them. The game is startlingly easy and the only difficult thing is finding the secrets dotted around the game without a guide.

Negatives: There's no ultimate payoff in terms of story sadly, merely an achievement for getting every ending, fail and medal. Also, there are some easter eggs and secrets I would've never found without a guide. These 2 things however, are small problems that are me simply nitpicking a near-perfect game

Summary: If you want a quick laugh, play this. If you want a lengthy and serious game, look somewhere else, but not until you've at least tried the game.
