Because it's actually kind of hard to screw these levels up to be honest, they're pretty straightforward. Plus you get to deliver destruction, tearing down everyone's trash houses and dropping their precious belongings into a hole! Because that's your job.įor some reason I keep thinking of Mira as being the protagonist, I guess because you play as her during the intro, but for the most part you're playing as BK, Donut County's amoral agent of demolition, and he's actually very good at what he does. You wouldn't necessarily think so, seeing as your doughnut shop delivers destruction rather than doughnuts, but it does. Okay maybe some of them make a reappearance later, but the game usually drops what it did on the last level to let you play with something new, and that can be fun too.ĭonut County has more than enough doughnuts in it. but that's not really what the game's about. Maybe it could've been longer if it actually reused elements of previous levels, like the multiplying rabbits or the snake tail that pushes switches, and built on them to create real puzzles. Took me longer than that though, as I was taking notes and enjoying myself and stuff. It's a straightforward linear series of stages that takes you to an inevitable conclusion, and you can apparently be done with it in two hours. You're not really going to get different outcomes to levels though, it's not that kind of game. I'm sure there must be a couple in there at least. Turns out you unlock a level select when it's over, which is handy for searching for secrets. A PBS documentary comes out later this year and the preview I saw was wonderful.Okay I've beaten the whole game. I can’t rave enough about this museum or the staff. It would be easy for a Hopper fan to plan a long weekend or a couple of days visiting these various sites and learning more about the artist (he was 6’7!). NYU maintains Hopper’s NYC studio, though it has recently been closed due to COVID. And even after this is over, the Whitney holds a huge Hopper collection on view regularly. The Whitney has an extensive Hopper exhibit on view through March 5, 2023. Nyack is a very walkable downtown, and the house is near many shops and restaurants.Įntry fee is reasonable. There is also a map and QR code to lead you around Hopper’s Nyack, where you can see places important to him and places he painted. The info boards are clean, clear, and concise. I could sense the passion they felt about the subject. The staff here are so enthusiastic, kind, and knowledgeable. There are also works by his wife, Jo, who was a major influence on his career, and a key to his success. You can view his bedroom, arranged as he would have had it, with an inspiring view of the Hudson. Many personal artifacts are on view, including journals and painting/tool kits. The museum boasts many early boyhood sketches. It was in danger of demolition until the village worked to collectively buy and restore the property. This home was built and owned by Hopper’s maternal grandparents. Located about 15 miles (a 35-50 minute commute) from Manhattan, it would make for a great half day or full day trip from the city! This is a sparkling hidden gem, tucked away in Edward Hopper’s birthplace, the village of Nyack.
