Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?! is pure heaven! It’s a management sim you can really get absorbed into and stay there for many hours at a time or just drop in every now and again for short bursts – particularly if you’re on the Switch. From the micro-management of your employees to satisfying all of your customers, everything can be adjusted and tweaked in order to become the greatest arms supplier in the land! One thing to be aware of though, the pun is strong in this one with almost every character being a pun of someone/something famous. If you like hilarious storytelling along with frantic and rather stressful gameplay, then this is the game for you! With the addition of the Herclueless DLC you gain even more content and many, many hours of gameplay. Everyone spud buy this game right now! Bad pun? Okay, I’ll get my jacket(potato)… Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?!£11.99 The Good: - Really addictive gameplay - The puns are so good! From the characters to the overall narrative - it's pure genius - Graphically the game looks great on a big TV with everything being super clear and well drawn out - The music is very jolly and happy, even when in stressful situations with Agent 46 - You get a load of content with the DLC included - it's not an easy game but you'll be playing for hours The Bad: - No Vita version - Agent 46 is annoying - he swoops in and takes all your money just before paying the wages sometimes, thus making you bankrupt if you do it three times - The controls are fine but it's a bit fiddly sometimes as it was clearly initially created with a mouse and touch-screen in mind (although the mouse on Left stick works pretty well but it is a bit slow) - If you progress too fast then you can get yourself stuck.

The simplistic visuals and sound design of Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop!? may make the game seem aimed at a younger audience. Make no mistake, though, the gameplay has plenty of depth and complexity. Along with keeping your smiths happy, you’ll need to manage finances to ensure you’re able to keep them paid, buy the materials you’ll need to keep forging, and continue to advance research projects to supply the latest in weapon technology.

I absolutely love the ridiculous puns, the pop culture references, and the riffs on (in)famous video game characters as potato people. Sure, Circle Xine and Komani win all of the Golden Hammer Awards in the beginning, but now it’s Annette’s turn to win all of the trophies without having to bribe the judges! Annette gets to have all the $tarch! And why isn’t there a $tarch bin where I can swim around in the crushed souls of dead potatoes? This bathtub full of instant potato powder isn’t doing it for me. Maybe that means I should get back to the grindstone, clear up those PS4 trophies, and then tackle the Journey to Olympus DLC that is included in the PS4 and Switch releases. Holy Potatoes!
