It may have arrived a bit too late for our weekly round-up, but man has Say No! More ($5.99) completely turned my world upside-down for the past couple of days that I’ve been playing it. This is a joint effort between Studio Fizbin and Thunderful Publishing that we’ve posted about previously due to its insanely wacky premise and trailers. To be honest I wasn’t sure what the actual gameplay of Say No! More would be like based on its pre-release trailers, I just knew I dug whatever the heck it was putting down. Now that I’ve actually played the finished product, I can safely say that Say No! More has exceeded my expectations both in terms of silliness and for its surprisingly interesting mechanics.
The first thing to know about Say No! More is that its presentation is through the roof. It’s going for a low-poly PlayStation 1-era visual style, which it nails, but it’s also a really colorful game with a lot of personality. There is extensive voiced dialogue, pretty much the entire game actually, and it is both very good and what I could only describe as purposefully bad. The entire game’s premise is making fun of corporate working culture in a very over-the-top way, and it’s an extremely funny game.
As for the actual “game" part, it’s a bit hard to describe. It’s kind of like an on-rails shooter as you’re guided around the game’s locations, shouting NO! at a variety of pesky coworkers...
