Clid the Snail Review – It’s Weird, but is Weird Enough? (PS5)

Clid the Snail is a weird one, and I applaud Weird Beluga for going all in on this bizarre concept of a grumpy anthropomorphic snail with a gun going through a grim, dark post-apocalyptic world ravaged by the slug plague. Clid is an outcast from the Snail Citadel who ends up begrudgingly teaming up with other animal outcasts in a group called Alastor. Their goal…

  • Fascinatingly weird concept
  • Engaging mystery at the center of the story
  • Those satisfying slug explosions
  • Drab and hazy art style makes visibility difficult
  • Enemies can be really hard to see in the world
  • Clid has humanoid legs, yet still moves at a snail's pace
  • Multiple quality-of-life issues that make the experience feel rough
