He’s vanquished pretty much all the evil there is. Still, it’s not all bad! Following on from what we’ll call (to avoid spoilers) the “canonical ending” of previous title Thongs of Virtue, The Baconing opens with DeathSpank lording it over the city of Thongtopia and lamenting that he’s just too good at his job. It’s certainly true that you don’t need to have played either of the previous two games to get the most out of this, but I can’t help but think that removing the familiar part of the game’s title isn’t going to do wonders for exposure, both to long-term fans and newcomers to the series. I mean, it’s the third game starring DeathSpank, and there’s little in the way of deviation from previous titles in the series.

Those with no preconceived notions about the series would do well to try out the demo and extrapolate that same experience to several more hours.I’m really not sure why this particular game is called The Baconing instead of DeathSpank: The Baconing.
Those who relished the first two games will likely find the same enjoyment in The Baconing, but those who grew bored of DeathSpank last year won’t find anything different enough in this entry to justify it. It’s the same DeathSpank gameplay with the same DeathSpank flavor in some new DeathSpank environments. So, to bring it all back to where we began, you probably already know if you want The Baconing. The sense of humor adds a nice touch to a typically stonefaced genre, but it won’t be the element that compels players to play through the game. However, since most of the gameplay involves either average combat or walking between quests, the big determining factor for a potential buyer is how much he enjoys smacking things with sticks and then picking up dropped items. For the now-standard $15 price, the game offers around eight to ten hours of gameplay. The second player now has four different characters to choose from, but it is still the same unrewarding tagalong experience that was present since the original DeathSpank.įor those who need to consider the cost-to-time ratio, The Baconing fares pretty well. Cooperative play is still a bit disappointing, with no online play, and more egregiously, no transfer of stats, items, or experience to a friend’s game.
