About Reggie, His Cousin, Two Scientists and Most Likely the End of the World
Reggie, His Cousin, Two Scientists and Most Likely the End of the World is a quirky adventure-platformer from Degoma. Set in a chaotic timeline spanning the 16,000th century to modern day, you play as Reggie, a well-meaning but clueless hero tasked with preventing a science-induced apocalypse. The game launched on December 31, 2026, across PS4, PC, Xbox, Switch, and others. Its hook? Gravity-shifting mechanics let you flip the world to solve puzzles and navigate environments. The tone is absurd and self-aware, blending retro sci-fi with slapstick humor. Expect time loops, over-the-top dialogue, and a narrative that prioritizes chaos over coherence. If you like offbeat physics-based platformers with a side of existential dread, this is your speed.
Gameplay
The core loop revolves around manipulating gravity to cross levels. Flip surfaces to walk upside down, launch yourself across gaps, or use inverted momentum to bypass obstacles. Each era introduces new tools, a 16,000th-century "graviton gun" might let you anchor objects, while a 21st-century drone helps scout ahead. Combat is minimal but chaotic, relying on environmental hazards and slapstick timing. A typical session involves 30, 45 minutes of platforming, with occasional time-travel resets that force you to replay sections with new tools. Controls are responsive but occasionally glitchy, especially during rapid gravity shifts. The learning curve is steep, and the physics can feel finicky, but the rewards are satisfying when puzzles click. The game’s 12.5-hour average completion time reflects its large, if meandering, design.
What Players Think
The PlayPile community is split but engaged. It holds a 4.1/5 rating with 87% of critics praising its creativity. 72% of players finish the game, though 15% admit frustration with its inconsistent difficulty. Average playtime clocks in at 12.5 hours, with many spending extra time mastering gravity mechanics. Community moods are 55% Amused, 30% Confused, 15% Frustrated. Reviews highlight the "wildly inventive" world design and "hilarious" dialogue, but some call it "a Rube Goldberg machine of its own ideas." One Metacritic user wrote, "It’s like if Portal got lost in a time machine and made a YouTube tutorial about it." The 45 achievements are spread unevenly, with 25% of players hitting 25% completion within 6 hours.
PlayPile's Take
This game is a love letter to chaotic creativity. At $29.99, it’s a gamble, casual players might find it too punishing, while fans of inventive platformers could devour every second. The gravity mechanics are its standout feature, though the 15% frustration rate among players suggests polish issues. With 45 achievements and a completion rate of 72%, it rewards persistence. Skip it if you prefer linear stories or precise controls. For those who enjoy experimental, humor-driven adventures, it’s worth the $30 bet. Just be ready to laugh at the chaos, and maybe yourself, as you fling through time.
