Spoilers: Unless Saturday Edition completely fumbles the ending, it is going to wind up 1 or 2 on my rankings.

Crankin' is the only other Playdate game I've played that falls in that "really good almost great" sort of range. Another high 7/low 8 kinda thing. The game Saturday Edition currently reminds me most of is Night In The Woods, which is high praise because I love that game. It isn't as good as that. It is pretty clearly a tier below that, but I don't necessarily mean that as an insult because I really, really liked Night In The Woods.

Saturday Edition doesn't quite have that level of character development or world building, but most adventure games don't. It is a little below that just in terms of charm and personality, too. But it is sort of close-ish, which is honestly way more than I was expecting going into it. I think character development is where it is the furthest off, but at the same time it is giving me very noir-y vibes and I think some of the understated characters here are a result of that.

Of course maybe the ending is nothing but incoherent duck noises so maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. But, yes, it was nice to actually really like something on the Playdate. I don't want to always be negative haha.
