Pinocchio confronts an unhinged Alchemist in the Greenhouse!

Mild boss spoilers follow:

WOW. That was the coolest boss fight I've had the pleasure to enjoy in a long time. Conceptually very interesting, with several viable ways to approach it, I can't believe how well they managed to pull that off, especially considering it's a fight against two enemies, which is often The Worst in these sorts of games.

I've found myself getting a sort of low-grade stressed feeling that maybe because it's DLC for an already fairly-niche kinda game, Overture isn't going to get the kind of praise it obviously deserves come the end of 2025. In a year with Silksong, Expedition 33, Blue Prince, Split Fiction, Donkey Kong, the GOTY period is going to be bonkers, I hope in all the chaos that Overture manages to get some plaudits, even though it's DLC. I know I'm only a few hours in but I'm so impressed already.

Thanks so much to all my Patreon supporters, you make it possible for me to make the kinds of videos I love to create, and I hope you get a kick out of this bonus content! -L
