“The DLC (which wasn't out yet as of the original review (which I am updating because of it)) isn't out yet, hence why it took a bit before I 100% completed it. But that said, this game is childhood reminiscing, over the…”

“Lil Gator Game is a fun and lighthearted game. It has a lot of dry humor and the characters are cute. The quests are easy to get into, which makes it really relaxing to play. It's a chill, feel-good game overall”
“Fun, laid-back game that lets you play at your own pace while simultaneously not being "too easy". Excellent writing. It's very cute. I loved it. Also couldn't help but notice the fourth-wall breaks and the developers…”

“this was such a cute little game. big emphasis on the 'lil' though.”

“I didn't know what to play and saw I had this in my library. What a surprise this was. A beautiful and fun to play experience, nice soundtrack with a heartwarming little story that also doesn't overstay it's welcome. And sometimes that is all you really need”
— a player, Steam review · 5 hrs played“How have I not written a review for this game yet? This game is Breath of the Wild for even more neurodivergent people who are afraid of big open worlds. The setting, the characters you meet, the quests you complete... It's an unforgettable time. You wish the game wouldn't end,…”
