    Zool Redimensioned is a valiant attempt to remaster a cult, old-school platformer in the 21st century, but the source material left the devs at Sumo Digital Academy very little to work with. Baffling design choices, a lack of any hook to keep you interested, and controls that never feel quite as satisfying as other platformers I’ve played mean I can’t see this version of the game gaining a cult following like it did in the ’90s.

    The Redimensioned mode of this remaster provides an easier experience than the original and makes it all much more smooth sailing, and the remaster as a whole brings about a fix to my biggest issue with the original: the screencrunch, In a game so focused on speed, the screencrunch of the original could make it feel unfair or cheap at times, but with the wider view area now, it's all far more skill-based than it ever was.

    If you have any interest in Zool or simply like solid, tightly-controlling, and/or fast-paced 2D platformers, this is worth your time.    … Full Review »
