While I’m always down to check out games that venture out on their own towards a new type of experience there’s no denying that it’s a risky proposition. When you remove the somewhat superficial trappings of pretending to travel, Glitchhikers really boils down to being an experience focused on exploring philosophy, with you encountering different odd individuals or aliens that pose different topics and lines of discussion to explore. At times this can be interesting, though that depends greatly on how receptive you are to the exercise of taking a step back and looking at the world and yourself in different lights. Since that’s ultimately what the game is focused on I sort of wish they’d removed all of the other elements that don’t really serve a great purpose and just contribute to dead time and filler. If you enjoy introspection it may be of interest to you though.
