In the late ’90s, early 2000s, there were two distinct flavours of aesthetics: boomer shooters, and Y2K girlypop vibes (for the sake of this argument we will ignore every other aesthetic that existed at the time). Boomer shooters like Doom and Wolfenstein were bloody, gory, and had a real “video games are gritty and cool now kind of vibe.” Conversely, products aimed at young girls were often glittery, pink, featured leopard print, and were often about love and harmony. Don’t Stop, Girlypop! is a game that combines these two vibes, and it is very good (and stressful).
