DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue

This absurd quest structure sets the stage for jokes, puns, and affectionate mockery of fantasy and sci-fi conventions.

Repeating what I said in my review of the previous DeathSpank game, Im replaying those games recently here on steam cuz I finished them years ago outside steam and I had a fun again with the first game, even more fun with this one because its a great sequel overall, it continues exactly where the previous game ended and even shifts a bit the environment, in the previous game the locations you explored were a bit more like a fantasy/medieval-themed setting with a few shifts at the end, this sequel changes it to more modern/european-like settings, you will explore cities, battlefields, santa claus' base, even the moon, its all over the place, later in the game you get your own ship so you can sail and explore some islands, overall this sequel keeps the good humor of the previous game, soundtrack is still good however I found the plot here more engaging as there is some twists in the story near the end, gameplay it introduces new types of equipment even guns, the sidequests are more diverse and theres some new quality of life improvements, money is useful and the game is more challenging, I think theres even a free dlc pack that even lets you play coop if Im not wrong so overall it adds a lot of improvements and feels better and more fun to play than the previous game which was already good, its slightly longer aking around 10 and half hours to beat and its cheap, theres a bundle here on steam containing all games except the last one which is called the baconing btw (no idea why they removed deathspank from the title), that bundle is cheap especially during sales so I do recommend getting that bundle and finishing both games, theyre fun simple games.

This game is 10 years old but it has aged incredibly well due to its art style, and I recommend you play it if it interests you. 5 out of 7, since its basically just Deathpank 1 but more.

Voice acting is another standout, with DeathSpank’s booming, overconfident delivery anchoring the humor and supporting characters adding personality throughout the journey.

The sidekick co-op feature also returns with limited functionality, offering casual support without much depth or agency for the second player.
