The WhatsNext verdict
For Fans of unhinged sandbox games, dark slapstick humor, and mad-science experimentation who enjoy seeing physics systems spiral out of control.: Throwing random objects into a cauldron to turn goblins into furniture or meat-grinder fodder delivers an absurd, laugh-out-loud playground of emergent monstrosities. Tradeoff: The single-minded focus on grotesque cruelty and chaotic physics comes with noticeable jank, physics clutter, and shallow long-term progression.
What it does best
Potion experiments spiral into gloriously unexpected monstrosities
Committed dark comedy with a uniquely stupid premise
A sandbox for inventing your own grotesque solutions
What might put you off

What you are walking into
Goblin Goopmaxxing is a dark comedy sandbox story about brewing bizarre potions and experimenting on unfortunate goblin specimens. Does the goblin look sad because you turned it into a disgusting abomination? Just drop it into the meat grinder! Every item in Goblin Goopmaxxing can be brewed into a potion with a completely unique effect. Want to turn a goblin body-pillow into a potion? Go ahead! I don't know what it'll do, but it'll probably disfigure the goblin in horrifying ways! A sausage potion that grows a third leg? A chair potion that turns the goblin into a chair goblin? A goblin baby potion that does another crazy thing that you'll just have to find out when you play Goblin Goopmaxxing?! The possibilities are endless... Goblins don't have rights so you can do what you want with them! If you're feeling hungry why don't you throw a gnome into a woodchipper to turn him into a sausage? You can in Goblin Goopmaxxing! Do as the collector says, you don't want to make him mad, do you?
