they do a fantastic job selling that this isn’t their first rodeo. She and her co-star and voice of Becks, Abigail Turner, sell the struggle these two have gone through and continue to go through for one another. One of the major marking points was former Achievement Hunter, current G4-er Fiona Nova is the voice of the lead, Rani. The last point I want to touch on is the voice acting. Without going into spoilers, I wish there was an actual boss that was almost a larger-than-life gunk creature for the sole reason that this corruption coming to life is such an interesting idea.

Even later on, the point of the combat section becomes almost meaningless once you unlock the lethal upgrade for an optional blaster that instantly takes out the smaller monsters and stuns the larger ones. I wish there was more variety because shortly after the first encounter, any fight becomes trivial. There’s also a turret that you need to get close to to uproot it and a boar-like form that acts as a mini-boss. The most common form is a little gunk creature that lunges at you. There are 3 types of enemies that you fight throughout the game. What could create a very interesting scenario, what with these gunk monsters coming to life, has no complexity to it.
The gunk comes to life, and with it spawns gunk creatures that attack you like a defense mechanism. It was a nice balance that encouraged me to explore way more than I would originally have, as well as encouraged me to fall in love with this planet’s history. You need those resources from harvesting to build them. As I mentioned before though, the game doesn’t just hand out upgrades like candy. For example, you can get a sprint ability, a gadget that attracts enemies in combat, and even a stronger vacuum to speed up gunk cleanup. This is how you get all the upgrades that eventually make the endgame trivial. There is a lot to scan, and finding a certain amount of objects, plant life, or even gunk creatures awards you with upgrades. I found the scan feature in this game to be just as engaging while also carrying more weight. If you’ve played Metroid Prime, you’re probably familiar with scanning the environment and getting fun little lore tidbits. Plus, there aren’t just upgrade materials that the game wants to be found. There is so much to explore with many, many, nooks and crannies filled with plants that carry materials for upgrades. The key thing is each area isn’t some straight and narrow path that feels samey. Both were needed to build upgrades that provided much-needed quality of life changes (like being able to run!). In the lush jungle, I found more plants that gave me organic materials.
For instance, in a cave, I found several plants that grew metal. Each is filled with its own life that feels fitting too. From a beautiful forest to ancient advanced ruins, each hold its own mystery that adds to the overarching story. The Gunk has found a great way to add variety to what could be a monotonous game. But all the climbing and all the forced slow movement when actually cleaning can sour anyone’s experience.

There is magic in seeing this planet slowly come to life and finding the mystery of what happened. Which is why I say this game isn’t for everyone. Add in vacuuming up which makes Rani move slowly, and the game can feel tedious. Rani isn’t the greatest to control especially when you mix in all the platforming you have to do. The best way to describe the gameplay of The Gunk is to imagine if Luigi’s Mansion 3didn’t have tank controls, mixed in some Metroid Prime scanning, and was from the over-the-shoulder perspective. Rani immediately takes it upon herself to find the source of the gunk and save the planet. A life that couldn’t survive after whatever was there borderline killing the planet. Rani quickly discovers that with the use of her power glove, she is able to vacuum up the gunk and reveal underneath it all flourishing life.

Upon landing, Rani finds a bleak landscape full of a poisonous pollution-filled glob she names gunk. Rani and her partner in crime, Beck, land on a planet just wanting to survive before having to head home. Taking place on an isolated alien planet, you play as Rani (voiced by Fiona Nova). Image & Form has moved on from 2-D stories about robots to the 3-D action-adventure realm full of monsters, gunk, and gorgeous scenery transformations. This is the key idea of The Gunk, the newest game by developer Image & Form and Thunderful Publishing. Watching a dirty or messy area slowly transform back into something usable, livable, and beautiful. There is something peaceful about cleaning.
