    Chuck's Challenge has finally made it to Steam, and the puzzles and mazes are better than ever. Chuck Sommerville and his team at Niffler have created the rare followup that not only does justice to the '80s classic, but improves upon it as well.

    As with most puzzle games, Chucks Challenge 3D won’t necessarily appeal to the hard-core demographic, but there’s no doubt that Niffler has succeeded in rebooting a much loved classic of yesteryear, proving that the concept of crowd funded gaming is here to stay.

    Chuck's Challenge is an enjoyable puzzle game and a worthy follow-up to Chip's Challenge, but some rough edges keep it away from greatness.

    A puzzle game like many others, that falls victim of a messy PC port. It's got a lot of levels, but there are many better alternatives out there.

    While the puzzle genre has certainly seen improvements over the many years, Chuck's Challenge is content with slapping on a coat of paint onto a 25 year old game, covering up what little charm the series and instead replacing it with tired level design wrapped in an uninspired package.

    Chips challenge was a big part of my childhood so this game gets all my nostalgia points.

    Besides that in and out of its own its a great puzzle game, with really simple mechanics that can get some complex puzzles.

    There's a lot of different puzzle types, and they all play out great (including those horrid box puzzles which make me jump out of my chair when i finally win them without actually knowing what just happened). You can even create your own puzzles if you wish :)

    Also OMG the undo, there's finally a undo button, no more of that "well i'm screwed" feeling from good ol' chips challenge. :)

    Play it, you won't regret it :D    … Full Review »

    I don't see that the PC port is messy, it looks, sounds and works just fine. In fact I was impressed with the clean interface, and the graphics on "fantastic" are more than shiny enough. The game has a nice built-in editor, and we can play levels shared on the net, including a weekly challenge. The game has 97% approval on Steam, and deserves a better metascore. Highly recommended.    … Full Review »
