I've been interested in the series for a while, but was worried the games might feel dated. The new one got me excited, but I've heard it's full of bugs and things that just don't work right.
What are the pros and cons of the various editions?
Bare in mind that I want a game that works on a modern PC without having to jump through hoops and has proper controller support. With that factored in, what am I looking at here?
A while back, I tried alec's Peanut Butter Fudge Honeycomb ice cream and loved it. Someone on this sub suggested that Van Leeuwen had better ice cream, so I had to compare. I got the closest flavor they have to that: Peanut Butter Brownie Honeycomb. So what did I think of the two?
alec's seemed to have a peanut butter flavored ice cream base. I've had a lot of bad experiences with peanut butter ice cream. Most of them tend to taste more like coffee than peanut butter to me (and I can't stand coffee). I was pleasantly surprised that this does just taste like peanut butter and was pretty good. I think it had chocolate-covered honeycomb pieces which added a nice crunch. The texture and flavor were really nice. All and all, this is one of my new favorite ice creams.
Van Leeuwen on the other hand, took a very different approach to the flavors. I'm not sure what the ice cream base is. I assume that's supposed to be the honeycomb part? But it doesn't taste like any particular flavor that I can place. I has a bunch of brownie pieces which taste fine. Unfortunately, the peanut butter is just random globs frozen in. The chunks were large enough that it made the ice cream difficult to eat. You can't just dig in with your spoon like eating ice cream normally, because the frozen peanut butter is too hard. You'd have to shovel out the entire clump to eat it. Not a very enjoyable experience IMO. On top of that, the PB itself isn't all that great. It's way too salty for my tastes.
Obviously, your mileage might vary depending on what your tastes are and what textures you like in ice cream, but the alec's one wins hand-down for me. I'd get it 8/10 and the Van Leeuwen one, I'd give 4/10.

I tried to make a graham cracker crust for the bottom. It was ok, but if I had to do it again, I'd use whole graham crackers like sheets at the bottom. This crumbled too much. The toasted marshmallow fluff at the top was easily the best part
