    Under the Island surprised me, but not necessarily in the way I thought it might. I went into the game expecting a certain experience based on the limited gameplay I had seen (which is on me). But ended up struggling a lot more than anticipated. The game is good, the story is fun, and the overall gameplay is smooth. However, the difficulty of the puzzles and the general lack of direction had me feeling frustrated.

    Under the Island, from developer Slime King Games, gives a firm tip-of-the-hat with its design and execution to games like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Under the Island contains good action, sometimes difficult puzzles, and a hefty amount of exploration to keep one’s attention firmly locked into the gameplay. The difficulty of some of the puzzles might feel a bit unbalanced and heavy, in comparison to the action, but the payoff feels worth that trouble.

    Under the Island is a breezy, personality-packed throwback that captures the curiosity and charm of classic top-down adventures, wrapping clever puzzles and Saturday morning cartoon energy into a tightly paced quest. Some clunky combat and an uneven finale hold it back from greatness, but for most of its runtime it’s a warm, inventive island escape that retro fans should happily enjoy.
