The Goblin's Bride was a phenomenal game! Not at all what I was expecting, but in a good way. I was not expecting a bad game, but your typical goblin game is almost always darker in theme and just nastier (piss, scat, filth, etc) too. The Goblin's Bride was a welcome departure from that played out trope. It was refreshing to have a Good Guy ™ Goblin that didn't have a monstrous disposition, only the outer appearance of one.
While the women in the story had fairly simple personalities, that doesn't detract from them or the story. There simply isn't enough of a focus on their backstories for them to have been fleshed out enough.
The gorgeous art is where this game really shines! I absolutely love the character designs, even Nax's. I do hope that if there is a sequel, we will see some variation to the design of their children. While there weren't many animated scenes, the last one in the game is truly exquisite. And the lack of animation did not hinder my enjoyment of the game at all.
The Goblin's Bride story made for a very enjoyable play-through, though how linear it is certainly won't make a second play-through novel. But not every story needs to have a ton of options. Sometimes being guided down the path while the story unfolds is nice.
The game was a solid 9.5/10 for me, with the only thing keeping it from a perfect score being either the grammar, or translation of the script. It reads like a story that was either written by someone who's first language isn't English or translated by the same person. This doesn't make the story incomprehensible, it would just take me out of my immersion when I had to do some internal editing. In fact, even with that one issue, I would recommend this game to just about everyone.
TLDR: 9.5/10 game, tots play this one handed, hairy armpits FTW!!!
