"Gord is an interesting and, at times, good, albeit flawed, survival city-builder mixed with action RPG and strategy elements. The atmosphere is excellently done, but this is countered by the sanity mechanics taking too much from the rest of the game. Almost every positive has a negative. The character development mechanics bring a fundamentally broken inventory system. The excellent monster development introduces a few that are just outright broken. The (sometimes) interesting campaign brings a near-opaque element of worldbuilding, requiring much side-reading as names are unceremoniously thrown at you. All in all, Gord isn't a bad game, and while I can have a decent time of it, there are too many flaws to recommend it universally; hardcore strategy fans may apply."

About

Alex Gordon is a platformer where you control a fedora-wearing cat on a mission to rescue his sibling. Navigate five themed worlds filled with moving platforms, hidden coins, and enemies to defeat. Each level requires precise jumps and timing to gather collectibles and progress. The story ties together through environmental clues and boss battles, with a focus on tight controls and varied obstacles. The game stands out for its retro-inspired level design and whimsical art style. Community reviews note its challenging yet fair difficulty, with 85% of players completing it within 5-8 hours. While the soundtrack leans heavily on jazz covers, the vibrant visuals and quirky character animations keep the experience lively. Available on PC since 2013, it remains a niche pick for fans of classic 2D platforming puzzles.
