When Allplay told me they were making Mountain Goats: Legacy, my mind immediately started spinning… how do you take a game this simple and turn it into a full legacy campaign? Could it possibly work?
This video breaks down how it plays, what makes the campaign shine, and a clearly marked spoiler section with a few of my favorite unlocks (so you can skip spoilers and still get my final verdict).
This is a paid Kickstarter preview, but all opinions here are my own.
