Manual Samuel - Anniversary Edition Reviews

Very funny game

One of the best Coop games on steam. Short play through, but very good especially if you can pick it up on sale. Whimsical and fun, great times with a coop partner

Like stuggling, we dont want that to happen to us, but has a videogame it is entertaining

At $2.99 on sale it's a recommend! Took me about a hour and a half to beat the story mode, which was funny, but also quite entertaining. With that I'm satisfied with my purchase. Saying that, there are a few other modes you can try out making it quite a large game at the price point. You'd have to really like the game play to dig into that though, towards the end I was kinda over the gimmicks. Everything in it was charming, the music, VA, visuals, and very light puzzles. Quite enjoyable, especially at the sale cost.

Do you ever wonder how hard life would be if you had to breathe and blink manually? Me neither, at least until Manual Samuel came into my life. Manuel Samuel is an adventure puzzle game that tells the story of Samuel, a real douche bag person who doesn’t seem to care about anyone around him including his girlfriend. And his behavior pushes her over the edge sending him on a trip to hell, not directly but it starts the journey. It’s tough to break down Manuel Samuel into sections cause the game isn’t really like most other adventure games. Never before has walking been so difficult in a video game. Sam has a horrible day and ends up dying within the first 5 minutes of gameplay. And this introduces him to Death. A skateboarding bro who wears long sweatshirts and a sideways cap. And Death offers him a deal the spoiled rich-kid Samuel, must survive for 24 hours controlling his entire body manually. Considering he’s the face of the game, he’s on all the promotional material and the menus I think you’re supposed to like him. I don’t; particularly he comes off as grating and obnoxious which by the description of him makes sense. In fact, a lot of the game comes off as obnoxious it has a funny tone but never made me laugh and since the gameplay is not whats bringing you In the writing needs to be on point. Which it isn’t always. Although my favorite character written and voiced was the narrator, he had some nice lines of dialogue.

Very unique game. I remember the comedy being funnier than it is now, though. Also could be longer. But still a fun playthrough.
