Exploration is accompanied by a faint uplifting tune that feels almost like a distant memory being repeatedly recollected in your head. Every interactable item has a whimsical description that feels incredibly personal and often apt. The magic, charm and character that Clawfish’s world exudes is outstanding. The setting feels entirely plausible, with small intricate details decorating its dreamy world, yet breathtakingly transcendental. And that is not to detract from the game’s outstanding originality. From the way the landscape appears almost ethereal to the dichotomy of the setting (it feels oddly sombre yet truly magical) I felt entirely immersed in this Ghibli-esque experience. Playing Clawfish is not too dissimilar to watching a Studio Ghibli film. “The magic, charm and character that Clawfish’s world exudes is outstanding.” You get up from your seat, passing by the advertisements and smoking signs, and head toward the claw machines. Enshrouded in a thin layer of mist lies the rest of the station, beckoning you to venture forth. Beneath it runs the train tracks, the rails rising and falling as the water ebbs every so slightly. Before you is a sign, welcoming you to the Clawfish Arcade.


As the silence settles, you take a seat, listening for the faint breeze that rolls over the sleepy station. As the train pulls away you see nothing but an empty horizon, the sea stretching for miles. The moment you arrive on its dreamlike platform submerged in soothingly calm water, its hard not to stop for a moment and gaze upon its majesty. In-game Screenshotįrom the offset, Clawfish is stunning. But alas, I needed to return to reality, so that I may inform you that playing Clawfish has been one of the most mesmerising experiences I’ve had all year. To remain surrounded by its glistening blue sea, sitting by the shore and sipping a cold green tea, would be bliss. While my heart sunk as I was hurried away on the train, I knew that someday I’d find myself back there. Now, after a brief, but beautiful stay in Clawfish’s ethereal world my departure feels somewhat bittersweet. Or probably an armor that includes encrusted larger sized “boomas” to paralyze a Colo Claw Fish or another creature when it takes a bite from the ship.Īnd the premium they would charge to sell these things? We’ll probably enough to not have to do this for a while.Īnyways thinking about this made me think about gungans on a different level and even more respect for the Quarren.When I first laid eyes on Clawfish at the Wholesome Direct and saw those sweet words “available now” I couldn’t help but run, metaphorically, of course, straight to Steam and nab it. This bongo probably is equipped with launchers that send their “boomas” in suficient speed to strike at fish creatures and stun them with a high electric charge. Gungans might be using a heavier or more armored version of the Bongo seen in episode I. Probably with the help of some serious underwater vehicles and equipment.

This puts into perspective the pure talent Quarren and Gungans might possibly have in pulling off a job like this and living to tell the tale. Dryden Vos was enjoying the EGGS of this massive creature which implies going deep into their territory and snatching the offspring from a fully grown Colo Claw Fish, most probably a female which would be super aggressive when defending its nest. Maybe even a combination of the two, since the gungans don’t strike me as the lot to leave their planet but the Quarren are established spacefarers.īut again to really put into perspective the magnitude of this task. So who could have the skills to pull such a feat off? My thoughts dwell on either the gungans or the Quarren with the reasoning behind Gungans being they are locals of the territory (perhaps more correct to say they are neighbors of the area) and the Quarren seeming to have a taste for hunting dangerous sea sport like the Mamacore in The Mandalorian season 2. A place filled with tons of gargantuan creatures that seem to one up each other in size the deeper we go. The planet core from Naboo of all places. Obtaining the ingredients to such a dish would have to have been a tremendous effort and sold for quite a premium considering where Colo Claw fish live. In Solo we see Dryden Vos casually offer a dish of Colo Claw Fish egg his cooks made for him to Han Solo and company as they talked about the recent failure with obtaining the coaxium. For those that may have forgotten or simply don’t know.
