This comic is a five of five star review of planet Earth , by Randall , depicted as Cueball in his profile picture. The review is written as a video game review, praising the size and realism of the world. The comic's humor draws from the fact that Earth is a completely real object and shouldn't be rated on the same lines as a video game, and the fact that there's no place that the Earth can be reviewed (with the possible exception of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ). The "huge world" remark is a play on Open world games like Minecraft , which are praised when their size allows hundreds of hours of exploration; exploring Earth would allow more than a lifetime of novelties.
The title text states that the 'controls are hard to figure out', possibly alluding to the fact that it takes a lot of time to learn how to walk and talk, a rather basic thing in most video games, or to the fact that it is in general hard to navigate around in one's life, as has been the subject of many comics.
Earth (or humans and other life forms on Earth) has many problems at the moment, such as climate change , overpopulation , gun violence , sexual violence , censorship , poverty , and increasing depression , to name just a few.
However, this comic also serves as a reminder that, overall, the world is a five-star world. It reminds us to look around: there's so much world to explore! And also that it is worth preserving for future generation to play around on. It is not a game that grows outdated and will be replaced by a new and better version next year...
While there aren't any games that can recreate the detail that reality has (Due to the computing power required to do such a thing would be on an intergalactic level to recreate earth 1 to 1 in a simulation), there are some games that can either attempt to have a map that is similar in area, the graphic levels become close to reality, or difficult game-play/hard to learn controls.
Examples of such games that attempt these things would be: Minecraft, No Man's Sky , The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim , Grand Theft Auto V , The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt , QWOP , Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy , and any of the Souls (series) , which includes Demon's Souls , Dark Souls , Dark Souls II , and Dark Souls III . Some people like to include games like Bloodborne , Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice , and Elden Ring into the same series as the Souls series due to similarity's to those games, and because they were developed by the same company.
