Great God Grove Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Take our word for it: Great God Grove takes a fresh dialogue-based puzzle concept and places it in an imaginative world filled with unforgettable characters. It may not be particularly challenging, but the strong writing and gorgeous presentation make this a heavenly game of Telephone well worth picking up.
Once in a generation, the gods come together to postpone the apocalypse. But this time, it’s HEAVENLY CHAOS!! The once-beloved god of communication started a bunch of godly fights and then went awol. With the gods squabbling and the rift opening, who’s gonna save the world from A-POCKY-LIPS??? WIELD THE TRUSTY MEGAPON! As the gods’ new mail-carrier, suck up lines of dialogue with your mail-cannon and launch them back to solve puzzles. Switch version reviewed.

If these flaws are likely to hurt the player experience – which th...
Great God Grove is a weird, whacky and fiercely bold adventure, whose dialogue-vacuum puzzle-solving will suck you in.
