Trove

If you like Rick & Morty humour, you'll likely enjoy this.
It's not super long, it's funny and absurd.
Some people criticise the rambling but honestly, it's just down to personal taste.
Played on my couch with a controller and no VR. Works great in case you're worried.

I had this one in my wishlist for a long time before finally pulling the trigger during a sale, and even then it sat in my backlog for many months before I finally got around to playing it. I had lots of concerns: a game intended for VR (which I don't have) that relies heavily on the "Rick & Morty" flavor and with dubious support on the Steam Deck. I loved High on Life, which gave me hope here.
I can say all of my fears were unfounded. The game runs perfectly well on the Steam Deck so ignore that the store page says it is unsupported. The game play itself is fairly weak as you are faced with fairly simple hack and slash action against a limited variety of enemies across several worlds. You gradually receive upgrades which you use to solve some fairly light puzzles. There is also a collecting element to the game as you try to find all of the power babies hidden around a world. That said, the game play is really just the framework needed to present the humor. If you enjoy the humor of High on Life or Rick and Morty you will likely enjoy the game. If you find that style of humor irritating then skip this one. I loved it, and found myself literally laughing out loud at some of the dialog from the characters. Yes, the game is intended for VR and that shows in the unusual way you use Trover to reposition your chair to view a portion of the world. That said, it plays just fine on the small screen and I don't think it loses anything for it.

This is a legitimately funny game. If you're into Rick and Morty's sense of humor at all then I recommend it. It's the same but concentrated and uncut.

I’m a gamer who has never watched Rick and Morty even once, though I know of the show.
I found Trover Saves the Universe to be a hilarious puzzle platformer that I couldn’t put down once I started playing.
The voice acting and dialogue are superb. It feels like you’re watching a TV series or movie. The banter between characters made me laugh out loud many times.
The gameplay is OK, it’s at least unique for the fact you control two playable characters at once, with one of them being unable to move without teleporting to the spot where the other guy is standing.
There is also a bit of hidden object puzzle game here as you need to look around the game world to collect hidden “power babies” for upgrades.
It’s listed as unsupported but runs perfectly on steam deck as I completed the entire game on deck no problem.
Overall I enjoyed my time with Trover, it’s more of a game to play for the story and characters instead of the gameplay but still worth your time,

Game works great without VR headset and was surprisingly fun. If it goes on sale, pick it up!

Great art style, funny platformer. If you love the rick and morty humour you will love this game.

I have to do another play-through with different options the game provides.
So much dialogue jammed packed inside a comedic experience just as expected!
If you like Rick & Morty, then you will for sure enjoy this!
