Quick Final Thoughts – New Game!!

So, the thing that I love about New Game as compared to shows like Is the Order a Rabbit? is that it involves the forward motion I need to stay invested, and this one nails just the right amount to make me want to keep coming back. It even goes the extra mile to kick in some light drama towards the end to make the emotional payoffs feel sweeter.

It also helps that it’s not set in a school and features a cast of diverse age groups, and I’d place it happily with shows like Working! in the soft place in my heart that isn’t full of cynicism.

If you’re a fan of the warm fuzzies, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it will take you into a happier world for a few hours, and I can’t ask for anything more than that.

8/10. Hopefully we get a third season, because I’m down for this as long as it goes.
