    It's easy enough to overlook these quirks when the core gameplay is so satisfying and immediate. [Apr 2016, p.81]

    Interesting 2D arcade / Runner game in the vein of Unirally (Uniracers), Joe Danger and the likes. Plenty of fun while it lasts but limited in many ways.

    Controls are tight, there is some decent replay value, and it doesn’t take itself too seriously which makes for a pretty fun time.

    It works, but it's not very original and it needs some more content and options to be engaging for longer. Still, it's not a bad game and it's very enjoyable.

    Despite not winning the Playstation Plus monthly vote, Action Henk’s speedy little adventure is well worth taking a shot at. The challenge of attaining those platinum medals, and in shaving a few tenths off your best times, is a hook that never fails to grab you, and for those with a competitive streak its fun, physics-based gameplay should be a perfect fit.

    Action Henk is a slick and addictive platformer. Its mechanics and controls are perfectly tuned, and its momentum-based gameplay is somewhat original and fun, but a couple of visual hiccups, some slightly bland level design, and a few wonky power-ups mean that it never reaches its full potential. However, as an exercise in running and jumping, few titles match its physics-based prowess.

    A Trial and Error game, which can get very frustrating.
    If you love TaE games youll love this.

Very fun game! If you're a fan of arcade games like Trails or Trackmania, definitely give this one a go. The game lacks a bit of polish, but the gameplay and sense of speed is very satisfying. The difficulty level is also ramping up at a nice pace. The beginning is quite easy, but the later levels will definitely test your skills!… Full Review »
