But in-that, I find the whole durability choice the development team decided a refreshing re-welcome to the old. From a critical standpoint, this will be looked down upon as “primitive ways in gaming”.

You will also notice that health meter in the northern centre does not recharge after a stages completion. On the matter of deaths representatively the game’s difficulty curve is not for the faint of heart! No continues, or auto-save which is a standard for todays gaming community. The benefit here course, is this ability if used constantly will cause repeatable deaths upon the player. Making progress far easier to the point it ruins the flow of each stage. In this form he can go almost wherever he feels like. Which frankly is ill-balanced, most notably the inflate ability- This allows your hero (Putty) to transform into an air balloon for a cost of some health overtime. Without a doubt the strong focus on this game is power-ups. On a structural note platforms and chasm is expertly placed and bonds well with a remarkably tight control setup to create a variety of challenge and entertaining (if just recycled) environments. If anything, each new enemy gave me at the very least a good ol smile for its character design. Putting the understandably dated Nick Park (Wallace and Gromit) themed visuals aside, it looks quite charming colourful enough not to be considered poor quality. Somewhat twenty years later, & heck! Still serves up one of the greatest old school 2D platforming experiences I’ve ever had! No interpret for concern if like myself, you want a game that plays with that arcade vibe and does it well. Thus for this confusion the game has hit overall poor journalistic reaction. Now, it just seems confusing on the matter why it has arrived on next gen? Let alone at such a steep price tag. Putty Squad has had a controversial arrival on the PlayStation 4, back in the early nineties this game would have been met with the highest praise for its graphics and excellent lack of linearity.
