    Randall seemingly disappointed me in different ways each time I booted up the game. I want to like metroidvania games, because the genre can be so malleable and interesting. And yet, here’s this game, which is a sloppy, dull mess. The plot is clumsily told, the gameplay varies between hair-ripping frustrating and sleep-inducing generic, and the technical hiccups are constantly flaring up.Randall seemingly disappointed me in different ways each time I booted up the game.

I hope We The Force continues to move forward in game development, because there’s a lot that can be learned from their debut effort. Unfortunately, that can’t fix the problems that plague their project now.… Expand

    Randall is more frustrating than it is anything else, and doesn't offer anything that makes up for subjecting you to that frustration. There are too many better games out there to waste your time and money on Randall.

    This is the freshman effort for developer We the Force Studios and it is certainly noticeable throughout the entirety of Randall. The Mexico based developer has crafted a game that obviously pays homage to a style of gameplay that they are fond of. However, the end result is little more than just that: an homage without any of the hooks that make other games of this variety so great. There is certainly potential for a great game within Randall and I hope this fledgling developer is able to learn from its mistakes to craft a more cohesive game in its next attempt.

    Randall's gameplay comes up short, but offers a distinct style. However, the controls and repetitve combat prevent this title from ever feeling gelled together. Although the art and music are the standout portion of this game, it's not enough to distract from a flawed experience.
