    A very beautiful world that's very colorful. I love the puzzle-solving epidemic in this game and the usage of different kinds of colors. The puzzles never get too tough although there are a few areas of difficulty spikes but they're quite rare.

    Excellent music, in fact, I paid extra to get the OST for this game. I really hope that the gaming community makes more games like this where    A very beautiful world that's very colorful.

    P.,S. I had played this game last year in Feb. But really wanted to add a review for it. :)    … Expand

    Easily a 10/10 imo.
    It might not be the deepest game that you can spend hundreds of hours playing. But the beautiful design, hilarious characters (the mushroom fellas especially) and most importantly the political message make this a game EVERYONE should pick up.

    It really stands out from the 1.000.000 mediocre, gloomy, AAA action-games these days.

    This is a really good game!
    If you have any love for games with a charming world like the old Playstation and N64 platfrormers, this game is for you.
    I felt that spirit i have been missing for a long time while playing the game.
    It might have small flaws but i can easily oversee them considering the joy i had playing through it.

    Completely unplayable. Keybinds aren't redefinable by the user. That is something absolutely unacceptable in this time and age and shouldn't be tolerated.

    It has been quite a while since i played something so smooth. The vibrant hand-crafted world bursts with life and charm. They really did a great job adapting modern gameplay techniques onto a old genre.

    I've only played the first level and I can already tell I won't open it again. The art and environment are very well done but the gameplay is just far too simple to be worth my time. I like games that provoke thinking and encourage creativity but this game is a linear theme park. Companion bro is SAAAH CUTE.

I bought it on sale because I loved the dev's other game Shadow Tactics and on their website they advertise this game as the winner of over 14 awards, but these are more visual art awards rather than gameplay awards. This game would have been great when I was 10 years old but at this point in my life it doesn't pique my interest.… Expand

    Bought it on release day and could not stop playing ... AWESOME GAME!
    Played it on a MacBook Pro with a Playstation3 controller!
    Worked like a charm!

    This game looks great in screenshots, but actually playing it feels horrible. It's not of the same quality as the games it's compared to (Jak and Daxter, Zelda), and I lost interest after about ten minutes. The character feels awkward and floaty when he runs, like he has no weight to his body.

The character feels awkward and floaty when he runs, like he has no weight to his body. Jumping is automatic (not something you can do at the press of a button) and when it happens it's jarring and unnatural. A lot of little things add up to make the game feel awkward and ugly. I wouldn't recommend it.… Expand

    this is not a 3D platformer it has a parkour system where you hold a button and move to auto do it.

    the game is ugly I actively didnt want to play the game because of the art style and the gameplay is really boring and while this was clearly aimed at kids the game is so bland and boring that they will probably pick it up for an hour if even an hour before putting it down forever I say    this is not a 3D platformer it has a parkour system where you hold a button and move to auto do it.

    The Last Tinker: City of Colors is undoubtedly pleasant to look at and play, it just never shines particularly.

    The biggest mystery of this colourful world is its intended audience. Adults will dismiss this otherwise decent game as too simplistic, and kids will stop paying attention halfway through.

    Despite its flaws, this is a solid game to play with your young ones - especially if you've beaten all the Lego games.
