I had a look just to see and there were definitely some that should have popped up as I definitely actioned those challenges. I did happen to notice that no achievements popped for me on this game, both during and after I had completed it.
Level design is nice though, I did enjoy the variety of levels through the location of Donut County and I believe the locations are based on songs from Bruce Springsteen. The puzzles aren’t too complex but just enough to make you feel like you’re actually doing something different other than moving a hole around a level. This helps you progress through to the next area of a level, or, the next level completely. There are some slight deviations from the norm when you have to launch things back out of your hole to hit buttons, rocks or water wheels above your hole, for example. The levels do change the location but the gameplay is basically the same throughout. The game isn’t too long (more below) but it is enjoyable enough if you play via a service such as Game Pass. This is presumably what causes the holes but we do find out during the story.
What is causing all of the residents of Donut County to live quite some distance underground? We soon find out about a mobile app where people can order donuts. Starting with the smallest items which then allows your hole to expand to swallow bigger items. The gameplay is simple enough, you need to get all the items in the levels into the hole. Soon enough we’re controlling a hole in the ground, swallowing up all around us, including the culprit on his little scooter. The game starts with an SMS conversation between Mira and BK talking about the noise outside of Mira’s home.
Mira is one and the other is a raccoon named BK. We start the game and are introduced to the two main characters in the game. Is it worth checking out or just another to add to the dusty digital pile? As always, if you like this article, check out my previous review here. I thought I would give it a go as a friend recommended it to me. It’s also available on PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and also MacOS. Donut County – It Really Isn’t That Tasty, Unfortunately.ĭonut County is a recent addition to Xbox Game Pass for PC. It is also inspired by franchises such as Katamari Damacy and Hopi figurines. Of which the idea was initially created from pitches from a parody Twitter account of well-known game designer Peter Molyneux. This game was actually spawned off of a game jam idea. In Donut County the player controls a hole in the ground, swallowing up everything in sight. The publishers are Annapurna Interactive (Outer Wilds, What Remains Of Edith Finch?). Ben Esposito (Tattletail) is the developer of this puzzle game.
