Platformer – Play Critically

Gunbrella Review

Gunbrella leaves me feeling listless, bereft, and bored.

Mechstermination Force is brief, joyously challenging, delightful to look at, and wonderful to hear.

Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider is an adequate retro platformer that plays to its developer’s strengths.

Kaze and the Wild Masks is a complete package: beautiful graphics, excellent platforming mechanics, and satisfactory challenge.

The more I play Shovel Knight Dig, the less I enjoy it.

ElecHead is a fine puzzle platformer and an impressive debut from its solo developer.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits has beautiful animation and art design but is too difficult to be a fun videogame.

SteamWorld Dig’s humble approach to indie platforming makes it an enjoyable choice to fill an evening or two.

The Messenger is an excellent and efficient retro platformer.

Short and derivative, though enjoyably so, it’s difficult to recommend Whipseey for anything less than a deep discount sale.
