Munnazzaro

Why We Picked Munnazzaro

Munnazzaro treats a bad run as a routing problem rather than a skill problem, and that is the right read. The art carries the story that the script does not bother to tell. It is more forgiving than it looks, since most hazards can be walked away from rather than fought. It earns the slot by being finishable in a sitting without feeling small while you are in it. For reference: 1,461 plays, 4.3 out of 5 from 52 ratings, and 122 of 183 on the adventure shelf.

How to Play

The page documents very little, so these are the things worth knowing before you spend time on it:

• Sound cues can carry instructions the interface never shows, so keep the volume audible.
• Get to the end of the level and keep what you picked up on the way.
• Backtracking is usually faster than forcing a new route.

Editor’s Note

There is no save system worth the name, so plan on finishing a level in one go. A level that cannot be finished is usually a route problem rather than a control problem, which is worth remembering.
