I’ve had a fine old time with this. I’ve carried on playing for far
longer than I’d planned, and am about to carry on playing once I’ve
finished writing this. Which is a useful reminder that it’s important
not to dismiss games because they do what other games have done a lot,
especially when they do it this nicely. Also, to remember that
storylines based around the enforced wearing of trousers are always
welcome.
You're going to have a love-hate relationship with Paw Paw Paw. The story is wacky but not necessarily funny, with a presentation that's at odds with itself. The combat is easy to grasp but has a tendency to frustrate. The campaign is lengthy but feels too long due to the repeated backgrounds and long grind needed to handle the abrupt difficulty spikes. If you're not too discerning about your beat-'em-ups, then the game is a decent way to while away a weekend. Otherwise, you might want to hold off until you've at least beaten some other, better genre titles first.
SummaryPaw Paw Paw was a peaceful and prosperous kingdom. Until one day, when the King had decided to enforce everyone to wear pants. We are the resistance. We are the Antipants.
