I refer to it as the globe effect, where it seems like you’re constantly walking around a rotating globe, moving around with a camera that follows accordingly. Instead of throwing adventurers into an open world built on strictly two-dimensional principles, the world feels a bit more alive with the use of a rotating camera. Visually, The Baconing is a treat, utilizing the hand-drawn art style that the series is well-known for. The writing is full of hilarity with a helping of satire and there’s quite a bit of creative adventuring to be done. Most aspects of its journey have a good coat of polish, though there are a couple of added detractions such as an unorganized inventory system and a vague hint option. You’re not going to find a revolutionary experience but, those looking for a comedic time in a fantasy world should give this one a shot. However, there is a pretty good and lengthy role-playing adventure to be found within. Its content just isn’t as much of a breath of fresh air as it was when the series first appeared on our downloadable content enabled consoles. The Baconing does have some issues and shortcomings. Your best armour is auto-equipped however, which I liked a lot. Weaponry must be manually hot-keyed and equipped which makes sense considering the customization available. You are DeathSpank, a hero and the ultimate Dispenser of Justice. Special weapons can unleash this powerful attack, with options including an electrified rifle shot, overhead bombing runs and a wide-berthed saw blade spin. 9 Hours Main + Sides 10 Hours Completionist 14 Hours All Styles 10½ Hours Prepare yourself for the ultimate sci-fi adventure by entering the hilarious and sizzling world of The Baconing created by Hothead Games. With this title, the emphasis is on using four different weapons to dismiss those bad guys as quickly as possible, with a special move meter known as justice filling during the process. You traverse areas looking for quests, hacking away at every enemy you come across. Where the two games compare the most is in their core design. One major difference presents itself as The Baconing really doesn’t have a robust magic system, opting to utilize some elemental arrows, weapons and grenades instead. For those who are new to this series, the gameplay is very reminiscent of what is found in Torchlight.
