  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews; while some players find it simple and repetitive, others appreciate the retro tracks and the overall atmosphere it creates.

    • “The movements were fluid and I didn't face any bugs during my playthrough, fun boss fights and nice soundtracks throughout the game.”
    • “The focus is very firmly on combat (high difficulty), but overall the adventures of Poppe delivers on what it intends on being, a competent metroidvania with a cute soundtrack, interesting atmosphere, and a reasonable playtime.”
    • “Besides that, the music is kind of bad, especially if you've been listening to it for a while.”
    • “The music is quite simple, and the loops are on the shorter side.”

  • story
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features minimal storytelling, focusing instead on its 2D platforming action and challenges in a world where the player is tiny compared to their surroundings.

Overall, it is recommended for fans of the genre despite its storytelling shortcomings.

    • “This is a very underrated 2D platforming action game where you have to battle your way through multiple challenges and quests in a world where you're tiny and everything else is normal sized but considered huge towards you.”
    • “A fantastic Toy Story SNES/Genesis/PC style game where you are tiny and everything else is large.”
    • “Overall, if you are a fan of the original Toy Story video game, do not hesitate to pick this up and try it out for yourself; you might be shocked at what you find.”
    • “Very little in terms of story.”
    • “On the downside, there are some grating design decisions and not much of a story.”
