I finished Dropsy about a week ago. Though an increased workload at the ol' day job slowed down this review, I'm grateful that I had extra time to put together these thoughts. Most would take that to mean that Dropsy is divisive in some way, but that's far from the truth.
My time with the unfortunately-faced clown has provided me food for thought in a way that the majority of games can't even approach. His poignant journey is seared just beneath my eyelids, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Justin from NoobFeed writes - These 10 indies are some of the strangest ones you’ll find, ranging from the ordinarily strange to the extremely strange.
Past Dropsy’s surreal presentation and wordless gameplay lies a positively moving experience that will likely get to you.
WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "Overall, in spite of needing to retrain my brain on how to interact with the world (it’s easier to travel without also carrying around a mouse and a dongle), Dropsy was a pleasant, interesting, if somewhat short adventure. It had heart, it had some truly gross moments, it had a horrifying cold open, and it was charming, however you can interpret that. For point-and-click enthusiasts, this is a title that should definitely be added to your library, owing to the fact that you can bang it out in an afternoon. For the rest, consider where you want to put your time and efforts, but know that an unreasonably large clown is there, smiling, ready to give you a big, damp hug."
