Clive 'N' Wrench

Outside of the final boss... Pretty good.

In this Banjo-Kazooie-like platformer, Clive ‘n’ Wrench wears its 90s inspirations on its sleeve—and for the most part, it wears them well. Right off the bat, it has that Banjo-Kazooie like charm with the way people speak in the game and the moveset as well is similar with the way Clive swings Wrench like a helicopter or to bash enemies! The worlds are amazing to explore their isn't a dull moment as their are many hidden easter egg's to other games (Some actually from other games), great platforming using the advantage of your full moveset, and fun to find collectibles (Plus if your ever missing any clocks, you have a radar kinda like Sparx from Spyro)! However, this game isn't without its flaws with it sometimes not being able to indicate when you take damage, the 'carrot cake' life-bar may go down, but I would recommend some sort of invincibility frame or have the player glow red when hurt. You most often find your health bar depleted before you even realize you’ve stepped into a hazard. And there's the camera with it feeling a bit finicky in tight spaces and not so great swimming controls (But you hardly ever have to swim in any of the levels). Overall, it's a great experience for people who like old-school collectible platformers, note this made by a solo creator, so if you're willing to put up with some jank, but want a fun platformer to play, this is the one!

control scheme is a little weird but i do enjoy it, need to come back and finish this at some point

l'impression de jouer à un jeu pas terminé (c'est bête car y'a des bonnes idées dans tout ce bordel)

Here we have the perfect example of a game that fails at almost everything that it sets out to be. It wants to be a buddy duo platformer like Banjo or Yooka but fails in the most basic of ways. Jumping, arguably the most important part of the genre, is a struggle at best. Every single items on this game seems to have it's own gravitational pull and not in a good way. It feels like you're in space and the fun wore off a couple of hours ago so now you are horrified as you drift away from what ever you wanted to jump on and into the loving jaws of the floor. On later levels this gets very frustrating. Hitboxes are also atrocious. Hitting an enemy is a gamble and if you consistently hit something, you should run to the nearest gas station and buy a lottery ticket. It's awe full. Now normal enemies aren't too hard to deal with, but where it gets annoying is in bosses. Particularly anything that summons minions during the fight, see voodoo frog boss as an example. Anything with projectiles is a guaranteed hit, though thankfully they seem to drop health as a reward. There's also no indication on if you hit or not. They simply either drop with a goofy early 2000's ragdolls or vanishes into the ether. On a slightly worse note however is the controls. You move like a bunny covered in butter and aren't capable of making sharp turns because of the camera. Camera which has no option to adjust sensitivity, which for people like me it's a big deal. Infact it has very little options as you can't even rebind controls in game. You have to jump through many hoops just to adjust the basics. On a more positive note the level design is somewhat fun. They have that nostalgia of games from the time it's trying to replicate such as swamps, cities, and houses full of toys and junk scattered around that makes you feel like you're in toy story. The character though hideous is decent enough for my daughter to like him. She likes that the bunny is similar to Mr cinnamon (her pet bunny) and the monkey you seem to use as a weapon is fun enough to see flailing about. I could go on and make a detailed thesis about this game but i just wanted a short review. Wish i could give a mixed review because i've liked it so far but it does get draining. TLDR - It's a fun enough game if you can get past the jank but not worth full price. Wait for a sale to pick up or get someone who makes bad financial decisions to buy it for you. Whatever they wanted to do here, they failed in a spectacular show of lack of talent.

Es una mezcla entre Spyro, Crash, Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time y Toy Story 2 Si hubiera salido en 1998 sería GOTY
