Critic Reviews
The Last Tinker: City of Colors
Despite being a PS4 release, Tinker’s visuals dip much further back to PS2-era quality, though the unique art style and character designs does add a bit of charm, even if Koru is one of the ugliest main character designs seen in a while. Unfortunately the game does not get a pass for its technical performance: the framerate in Tinker is one of the worst offenders to plague Sony’s new machine yet, with almost every single area dipping well below acceptable speeds. Only the dream world segments, which feature white backgrounds and limited platforming areas, achieves a stable framerate, which will make players wish the rest of the game would just stay there. Mixed with the paint-heavy color palette of the areas, the slow framerate could even create feelings of nausea for players, which ultimately hurts an otherwise decent platformer.

I call The Last Tinker a 'platformer', although technically there's little platforming to be had – you cannot jump manually after all.
