The Matchstick Castle

The Matchstick Castle
Overall Rating: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ (3/5) or 6.0/10 overall

Characters - 6
Quirky and entertaining but not the most interesting and relatable.

Atmosphere - 6
Very obvious shift in tone between the Matchstick Castle and the other houses in Boring. It made the house stick out but not in an annoying way.

Writing - 7
Decent but the style didn't connect with me as much

Plot - 5
Pretty predictable; still funny but not overly so.

Intrigue - 6
I was intrigued at the beginning but as it became more predictable it got less intriguing since I could figure out the ending.

Logic - 6
Kind of logical but also entirely wacky. I think that was the style of the Matchstick Castle itself tbh

Enjoyment - 6
The way it was set up, the choice to explore the Matchstick Castle seemed too obvious. I think it would have been more interesting if there were either other choices besides Summer's Cool and the Matchstick Castle, or if there were some reason to want to stay at Uncle Gary's house because no one wants to do summer school so any alternative is better. If there were more factors the dynamics between the characters could have been more intriguing and it would have given the story an added layer of choice. That just kind of bugged me as much as the giant wasps the whole time. :/
