How This New Video Game for Garfield Is Giving Me 80s Feels
Garfield gives me all the good feels. Growing up, Garfield and Friends was a Saturday morning staple. It was, and truthfully still is, one of my favorite cartoons. Because I loved Garfield so much, I had to share that love with Lily. Lily now loves him as much as I do. She often asks if we can watch together. So when I got the chance to try out this new Garfield video game, it was a no-brainer yes. I snapped up the new game for Garfield in a split second.
Thanks to HomeRun Media for the code for my free Garfield game, which I’m reviewing. This post contains affiliate links, and I can earn a tiny bit if you order through the provided link.
I received my code towards the end of September, but we all know how sick I was throughout September. That meant I didn’t have the energy or the thought to add it until early October. Once I was able to, though, boy was I hooked.
New Video Game for Garfield: Escape from Monday
Microids and OSome Studio are the masterminds behind this new Garfield game. Players will master the technicality of feline movements, harness special abilities tied to 3 exclusive costumes, and face off with a variety of formidable bosses throughout their journey. With memorable characters, inventive challenges, and a surreal story through Garfield’s mind, this story into the heart of the nightmare promises a thrilling ride for players worldwide. Grabbing lasagna has never been so fun.
For Garfield, spending most of his time sleeping is routine. But spiraling into a bizarre nightmare full of vegetables, sugar-free candies, and other unimaginable horrors, even the world’s laziest cat knows something is wrong!
After Jon feeds him spinach lasagna inspired by Chef Monday’s recipe, Garfield falls into a deep sleep. To wake up from the nightmare and reactivate his taste buds, Garfield must embark on a deliciously chaotic adventure, where players explore worlds packed with enemies, challenges, and lasagna.
Thankfully, Garfield can rely on Jon and his friends Odie, Arlene and Pookie, as well as a collection of special costumes, including turkey, surfer and cowboy – each with its own unique skill – to overcome the dangers lurking within Garfield’s dreams.
I was surprised how hard the actual first boss was; I had to have Jason help me. We are still not entirely sure how he finally beat him, even. This was only on level 2. There is also a lasagna that I spied but couldn’t figure out how to get and haven’t been able to go back yet & try again.
All three of us (myself, my husband, and Lily) have tried and adored this new Garfield. We are pretty pleased with it.
My only gripe, which is just a weird one (even to me), is Garfield’s voice. It’s not “Garfield,” but I know it’s not going to be.
I highly recommend grabbing a copy for yourself or as a Christmas gift. It’s so fun, and we’ll enjoy playing it more.
