The Henry Stickmin Collection Part 3. The escapist. (New Game Blind)
5Having been captured by an insidious warden in a compound known as The Wall, Henry is in a horrid situation to say the very least. With numerous means of escaping, he explores all the routes, resulting in various outcomes.
Playthrough Information: This is a blind let's play. I plan on covering every level and showcasing all the available options. A few aspects I've been previously spoiled on, although none of the games were ever personally experienced by me. I don't intend to unlock everything optional such as achievements or all the possible secret interactions. My demeanor will also be rather calm in comparison to other more successful and charismatic content creators. Not that it doesn't represent me enjoying myself, either.
Steam Description: About Game: The Henry Stickmin Collection is a Newgrounds choose-your-own-path classic, reborn and revitalized. This 6-game epic culminates in multiple entirely canon, extremely different endings. Each step of the journey has you choose from options such as a Teleporter or calling in your buddy Charles to help you out. Correct choices will move the story forward, but incorrect choices lead to a fail. If you get to the end on your first try, you’re doing it wrong. Failing is half the fun.
The Henry Stickmin games have seen some good times on the internet, but age has not been kind. Breaking the Bank has been completely reanimated from scratch. Escaping the Prison, Stealing the Diamond, Infiltrating the Airship and Fleeing the Complex have all had their backgrounds and sound effects redone!
Fandom Description: The Henry Stickmin Collection is an anthology collection of remastered versions of the previous five games in the Henry Stickmin series, as well as a new game exclusive to this collection. It was released on August 7, 2020.
The Henry Stickmin Collection includes all five games in the series, with one extra that is exclusive to the collection;
Breaking the Bank
Escaping the Prison
Stealing the Diamond

The game features remastered versions of the first five Henry Stickmin games originally released on Stickpage and Newgrounds. A new game, Completing the Mission was developed specifically for the collection, to serve as a final chapter to the story. All games (with the exception of Completing the Mission) were remastered through Adobe specifically for this collection.
The games follow the namesake character and series protagonist Henry Stickmin on his various but very dangerous adventures. First starting off as a thief, he can later become an agent of the Government, the leader of a notorious criminal syndicate, or remain neutral as a thief.
Reception: Steam users have given the assemblage package "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews, with a 98% rating based on 24,000+ reviews. Reviewers have praised the Collection for its humour, animation, production value (specifically in Mission), & storylines, with some praising the sense of nostalgia they experienced while playing the game. Despite the universal praise, some have noted the frequency of frame rate issues and crashes in fullscreen mode, as well as the US$15 price tag on Steam.
Similar to the flash series, several popular YouTubers have played The Henry Stickmin Collection (including Markiplier, The Frustrated Gamer, DanTDM and Jacksepticeye), which have millions of views respectively. In addition to this, the Distraction Dance was a viral internet meme in August 2020, causing The Henry Stickmin Collection to achieve even more global success.
Completing the Mission, the sixth and final game in the series which is unique to this collection, has been praised by players and reviewers, and is often considered the best game in the series. The death of Charles in Valiant Hero has been well received by both fans and critics.
