Bigmode Games, a publishing house founded and operated by popular YouTuber Jason “videogamedunkey” Gastrow, has launched its first game, Animal Well. This artistic Metroidvania is already getting fantastic reviews from critics and players alike, with many praising its art style and unique take on retro graphics.
Videogamedunkey shared the news of the game’s launch on X (formerly Twitter) today, May 9. He didn’t have much to say regarding the launch except promising players that the game is genuinely good. And he appears to be right, as Animal Well is already noting fantastic reviews. Though not too many players have yet played it, there are already some 200 reviews on Steam, of which 97 percent are positive. On Metacritic, the game is enjoying a 91 average score out of 18 critic reviews and has even earned a Metacritic Must Play label, adding to the increasing tally of fantastic indie hits that have challenged the big shots of gaming in 2024.
