Arcade Icon Reborn #

This one is a charming 3D platformer that successfully reimagines the iconic arcade hero for a new generation, the game blends traditional platforming with maze-inspired levels, offering varied gameplay, colorful graphics, and a nostalgic soundtrack. While the controls can feel a bit stiff and the camera occasionally frustrating, its clever level design and mix of retro and modern elements make it a fun and memorable title for fans of classic gaming mascots.

Mascot Ambitions, Solid Fun #

I feel like this one sits in the spot of trying really hard to become a big mascot game, because this was something a lot of companies were trying to do back then, and while not all of them succeeded (including on this case), this title is at least a very good 3D platformer, and I wished we had more games similar to this format, so a 3D platformer that is not completely a collect-a-ton, but also an actually challenging platformer.
