Dropsy is a special game unrecognized in its own time and I hope history reflects on this with more appreciation. I loved it for my own reasons of feeling like a big galoot who just wants to be in the world without people being scared of me.
I’ll just share some of their praise quotes:
“This levity, this world, and these people are going to be with me forever. If you’ve ever complained about there being too much violence in gaming, or that games are all the same, and you don’t play this… I hope somebody hugs you.”
9.5/10 – Destructoid
“…a beautiful, bewildering, unforgettable game of hugs, love, and hollowing sadness.”
8/10 – The Jimquisition
“Dropsy is a game that warmed my hardened, cynical heart.”
