![]() That’s probably the stupidest sentence I’ve ever committed to text, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I top it by the end of this review.Īs with previous DeathSpank games, if you chip away to The Baconing’s crispy core you’ll find a Diablo-alike. As such, DeathSpank’s off on another heroic hike around the world to track down the Bacon Fires, destroy the Thongs of Virtue, and vanquish the AntiSpank. It transpires that DeathSpank has foolishly been wearing all of the Thongs of Virtue (the past game’s macguffins) at the same time, creating an all-powerful doppelganger in the form of the AntiSpank, unkillable until such time as five of the six Thongs of Virtue are destroyed in the mythical Bacon Fires. Our hero’s boredom is almost immediately relieved as a giant… thing… starts rampaging through the city with an army of his old foes the Orques, now mechanically-enhanced into – get ready to groan – Cyborques. He’s vanquished pretty much all the evil there is. Still, it’s not all bad! Following on from what we’ll call (to avoid spoilers) the “canonical ending” of previous title Thongs of Virtue, The Baconing opens with DeathSpank lording it over the city of Thongtopia and lamenting that he’s just too good at his job. It’s certainly true that you don’t need to have played either of the previous two games to get the most out of this, but I can’t help but think that removing the familiar part of the game’s title isn’t going to do wonders for exposure, both to long-term fans and newcomers to the series. I mean, it’s the third game starring DeathSpank, and there’s little in the way of deviation from previous titles in the series. ![]() Continued abuse of our services will cause your IP address to be blocked indefinitely.I’m really not sure why this particular game is called The Baconing instead of DeathSpank: The Baconing.
