Wagon Runaway, despite it's simplistic and charming graphics, has left me wondering and pondering the true questions of life itself. The many choices in life that we can take that are all available to us, defined by the numerous tools at our disposal, are perfectly represented by this indie game. Similarly to other popular works of fiction where your choice actually has repercussions (Undertale, Undertale 2, Deltarune), this game has left a similar taste in my tongue. The main character, with it's crazy modeled physique and incredible instrument skills, is one well-written wagon aficionado, which i wholeheartedly relate to. Additionally, while the presence of horses in the opening cutscene (which should've received an Oscar for finest animated movie by the way) has struck me deep to my core (I fucking hate horses), i was able to enjoy the multitude of endings that this fine game had to offer, and left with a fantastic self-reflection from all the flavor text in each ending. Saving nothing, or saving everything but yourself, truly brings weight to one's actions, and perfectly reflects the real life dilemma of cost and risk in action-taking. Similarly to the trolley problem, the game puts you in a situation, of which you exercise your free thinking will to solve in whichever manner you please. Whether you like making parachutes, love hoeing around or consuming burgers, this game will leave a mark, deeply imprinted in you soul, should you choose to bask in it's glory. I give Wagon Runaway a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐rating, because it has surpassed what lowly mortals can create out of entertainment, and has truly reached the barrier of the Gods
