Review

Thank Goodness You're Here! is a delightful dive into the quirky town of Barnsworth, where every corner brings a fresh dose of British humor. As a traveling salesman, you arrive early for a crucial meeting with the mayor and find yourself entangled in a web of eccentric odd jobs that the lively locals throw your way. The game's vibrant hand-drawn animation breathes life into this bizarre town, making every scene a visual treat. The fully voiced characters, laced with wall-to-wall double entendres, keep the experience engaging and humorous. Each completed task introduces new areas to explore, seamlessly expanding your adventure. However, some of these tasks can feel repetitive, affecting the overall pacing. Additionally, with limited replay value, the charm of Barnsworth might wane after your initial playthrough. Nonetheless, the game's engaging narrative and distinct style make it a must-play for fans of comedy platformers.
