허디 거디 (새제품)

The way different animals sink or float depending on their weight adds a surprising layer of strategy to the herding. I’ve been playing it in short bursts between heavier games, and it’s a refreshingly weird little title that grows on you.

The way the animals sink when they hit the wrong terrain really forces you to plan your route ahead, and the Nintendo-esque charm is spot-on for a PS2 title. It's got that quirky, relaxed pace I didn't expect from the team behind a big action franchise.

Glad I finally found a copy of this—herding the different animals through the swampy sinkholes is trickier than it looks. The controls feel responsive when you're trying to steer a stubborn pig away from trouble.
