    A Pixel Story puts together a great, complete package that has a ton of ingenuity and fun to offer.

    A Pixel Story is a game that grows progressively harder as it teaches you to be faster, more accurate, and more accepting of the inevitable.

    Great platform game, a gorgeous trip around history of videogames, funny and nostalgic title, a must have for retro gamers.

    You'll walk on the path of the videogame's media evolution: it's an original and interesting idea, and very well executed.

    Charming and brimming with nostalgia, but a little too limited to be truly great. [June 2015, p.59]

    A Pixel Story has an interesting concept which is not implemented in the best possible way. Although it still is a good platform game, it could maintain better balance between difficulty and pace.

    A fascinating journey through the visual history of 2D platformers, although the gameplay doesn’t always match the quality of the many classics it relies on for influence.

    The story and world on offer here is beautiful, but control hiccups ruin some imaginative puzzling. [June 2015, p.65]

    Through it can be frustrating and seem downright broken at times, there's still much to enjoy in A Pixel Story. It genuinely has all the making of a great puzzle platformer, but it's sadly kept from its full potential by poorly-executed physics.

    At first it looks very promising with the concept of the continuous evolution of the technology creating anticipation, but in the end what we get is a problematic platformer plagued with lack of imagination and a disappointing final world.
