Platformer – Page 2 – Play Critically

Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore Review

Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore asks the bold question: What if Zelda’s infamous CD-i misadventures were actually fun?

If I didn’t know better I would believe Prison City is a classic 8-bit action-platformer, resurrected and polished for current audiences.

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.
