WTMG's Leo Faria: "The Magnificent Trufflepigs is the weird case of the walking simulator which would have been a lot more enjoyable had the developers decided to include LESS gameplay. Even if its story isn’t anything to write home about, I was way more invested in it than looking for nappy pins and bottles with the slowest metal detector in human history. I don’t understand who its main audience would be. Maybe a big, borderline die-hard Firewatch fan who would love to play something obviously inspired by it? "
The Magnificent Trufflepigs is a story-driven metal detector simulator developed by Thunkd and published by AMC; available now on Steam.
KeenGamer: "Rediscover your inner treasure hunter in The Magnificent Trufflepigs. Equip your trusty metal detector and weave through the fields of Stanning Farm in hopes of finding something of value and turn things around. What will you find?"
The Magnificent Trufflepigs tells its story well, but it's too slight to get properly invested.
