    Stranger Things 3: The Game has its plus sides and its minus sides, just like any game. However, there are more plus sides. If you're a fan of the show and dig retro 8 bit and 16 bit games like Retro City Rampage, you'll dig the 15 bit graphics the game has. As for the game play, one gets to control two characters at a time and as they progress they unlock more characters to play withStranger Things 3: The Game has its plus sides and its minus sides, just like any game.

As for the game play, one gets to control two characters at a time and as they progress they unlock more characters to play with and can craft more stuff to make them stronger. The characters go around beating up Russians and solving puzzles and the beat em up part is easy but the puzzles, a few can be a bit challenging, while one is annoying since there are no hints. In short, the game play is fun and things don't get too repetitive but one or two of the puzzles could have been left out. Other than that, there's not much to say since this isn't some big budget game with a huge soundtrack, voice dialog, and over the top graphics, its just a fun retro 16 bit game that ST fans should enjoy unless they are totally obsessed with modern day graphics.

    While it draws upon influences of games long past, it ultimately fails to incorporate more recent innovations in its genre.

    Stranger Things 3: The Game proved to be a much more mature and complex title than what could have been expected.

    If you are a diehard fan of the Netflix series, maybe Stranger Things 3: The Game is a worthwhile ride.
