The process continues, with bigger, harder enemies and plenty of opportunities to use that new double-jump, dive-smash or swimming ability. Eventually, you will hit the fringes of the map where a boss awaits you, and killing it will – more often than not – lead to an upgrade that you can then use to backtrack and open up a whole new part of the map. Your task is to keep pushing at the edges of the map, and gain access to new areas to continue your adventure. You won’t have to do a huge amount of memorising of the map, when it comes to “where on earth was that chest that needed a double-jump?”. Some things from the template are dialed down while others are dialed up: there’s less focus on guidance, as you’re given free roam of a reasonably sprawling world and there’s fewer paths that can’t be crossed without a future upgrade. Game-wise, Clunky Hero is that most popular of genres, the Metroidvania. But we are fluffy liberals, so take it with as many pinches of salt as you fancy. And we’re the ones who have to spend time with the grumpy bucket-head, which we’d rather not. You might argue that Clunky Hero is a character, and that character has every right to be a deluded and unlikeable bigot, but the world doesn’t take him down a peg. And you can probably guess what Clunky Hero feels that they are meant to be doing. When a fart, poop or masturbation joke isn’t slithering out of Clunky Hero’s mouth, it’s a rant about SJWs or why women just won’t do what they’re meant to. But our biggest gripe is that it feels like it’s been written by the lovechild of Andrew Tate and Butthead. Too long, if we’re being honest, and we pride ourselves on reading all dialogue in a game. You can chat to people in Clunky Hero, often about your wife, and dialogue will run for far longer than you might expect.
