Walter Walnut offers a charming and relaxing experience with enjoyable gliding mechanics and cute graphics, reminiscent of classic 3D platformers.
The game is affordably priced and provides a satisfying 2-3 hours of gameplay, making it a great value for players looking for a short adventure.
The level design encourages exploration and the controls are intuitive, allowing players to easily navigate the world and enjoy the whimsical atmosphere.

The combat system is simplistic and lacks depth, often relying on spamming attacks, which can make encounters feel unchallenging and repetitive.
There are several bugs and glitches, including issues with collision and clipping through the environment, which can disrupt gameplay and immersion.
NPC interactions are largely irrelevant, with dialogue offering little value, and the overall story feels underdeveloped, leaving players wanting more substance.

- “The mechanics, which are friendly and intuitive (there's no tutorial, and there's no need for one), are also well exploited, and are accompanied by unique mechanics for certain obstacles, providing real diversity.”
