    • “Cheap looking graphics.”
    • “Graphics and gameplay feel cheap, but I got it in a bundle for next to nothing.”
    • “The only criticism I would make, if any, is that the graphics do seem very awkward, due to trying to modernize a game that is essentially the same as the original made 20 years ago.”
  • gameplay
    33 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "Chuck's Challenge 3D 2020" is characterized by a rich variety of puzzles and mechanics, offering a mix of approachable and challenging levels that encourage creative problem-solving. While the game features helpful tools like an undo button and allows for level creation, some players find the pacing and imprecise movement mechanics detract from the overall experience. Despite these issues, the game is praised for its engaging design and replayability, making it a solid choice for puzzle enthusiasts.

    • “The game includes a substantial amount of content out of the box, offering six official packs totaling 150 levels, each one introducing new mechanics or testing previously learned concepts in inventive ways.”
    • “Gameplay is made more accessible by features like the undo button, which allows players to roll back mistakes rather than restart entire levels.”
    • “The gameplay becomes increasingly challenging and there is enough variety to keep me interested.”
    • “A lot of the more difficult level sets don't come from its complex movement patterns or frame-tight action, but rather a daunting and lengthy 'point A to point B back to point A' gameplay that wears on your mind quickly.”
    • “I feel the game was actually significantly harmed by having a time counter combined with 'lagged' very imprecise movement mechanics, you always feel like you are pushing against the 'tick' pacing to go faster and significantly slowed by it to a way that honestly makes the game hard for me to enjoy.”
    • “The standard levels seem to just present the elements of the game and are not really challenging; the whole game is a bit of a tutorial concerning game mechanics.”
  • music
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The visual art style, music, sounds, puzzles; it's all fantastic.”
    • “Ok so the music grinds my gears after dying in the same point of the same level 500000 times.”
    • “Don't let the charming visuals and upbeat soundtrack fool you either, this game is not afraid to challenge players.”
