Good Limbo like game that could be better with a little more effort
The graphics, music and sounds together make an immersive atmosphere, the game mechanics are OK as Toby has learnt a lot from its role model. The problem is that intuitiveness of puzzles was rather replaced by trial and error style and the level design relies more on finding secret places than on logical thinking. Good system of checkpoints and non-problematic control save the game from being frustrating. You will be driven by curiosity what comes next just not so much as when playing Limbo.
Pros: - Graphics, music and sounds - Good systems of checkpoints - Challenging but not frustrating - Easy to learn
Cons: - Trial and error approach - Focus on finding secrets instead of logical thinking - Not very intuitive puzzles sometimes
I am giving this atmospheric platformer 3 stars out of 5.

Nice surrealistic puzzle game but not very challenging
It has nice original graphics. It can be played instantly as the concept is simple and levels are short. It is not frustrating and difficulty of puzzles is just right to be played by fathers with kids. The cons are the necessity of having game controller and also the fact that the game might become repetitive after some time.
Pros: - original graphic style - short levels - easy to learn - suitable for kids
Cons: - necessity to have controller - become repetitive after some time - not very challenging
I am giving it 3 stars out of 5.

Bringing some refreshing ideas to Limbo Like games but still not as good as lege
The game drags you in because of its touching story and graphics. Thanks to its reasonable difficulty you will not lose your nerves and will be driven by curiosity what comes next. The only big minus I can see there is control along with design of some obstacles that will force you to repeat some parts many times.
Pros: - nice artistic graphics - atmospheric environment - story - level design - close checkpoints
Cons: - control responsivity - design of some obstacles
I am giving it 3 stars out of 5.

Nice little puzzle game but might become tiresome quite soon
The game difficulty is ok for family playing or casual gamers, there are no major technical issues, the levels are short and you can get right into requested map. The only minus I can see that the game is not variable enough despite its power-ups and might become repetitive when being played longer. I am giving this nice casual game for children thumbs up and 3 stars out of 5.
Pros: - easy to learn - short levels - no major technical issues - challenging but not frustrating - suitable for children
Cons: - repetitive when being played longer - game control is less responsive sometimes

Good arcade racing game with some flaws that you can hardly overlook
The game is funny enough and not too difficult which make it accessible even for kids. From this point of view it is fine. What I find negative is the control scheme issues and graphic optimization. And I am also missing split screen multiplayer in this game as the competing with your friends or kids behind one screen would really make it much funnier yet. I am giving this game thumbs up with reservations and 3 stars out of 5 for the reasons mentioned before.
Pros: - easy to learn - short well designed tracks - funny power-ups - Garfield universe
Cons: - control scheme bug - graphic optimization - no split screen multiplayer

This puzzle game is simple to pick up and play. It rewards creativity, persistence, and in most puzzles, teamwork can either elevate gameplay or make the journey through each level way longer than necessary. Either way, the game will be enjoyable. Lots of puzzles in this game have more than one way of getting to the end, so there are plenty of opportunities to think outside the box. A great game to pick up - especially if it's on sale.
