    This game is worth a 7 because I got it free with PSN. I likely would never pick this up if I had to pay cash but it was pretty fun.

    Pro's:
    1. Witty dialogue and fun story.
    2. Easy to understand controls and relatively simple objective that is fun working towards
    3. Getting the trophies is fun and at times can be challenging.

    Con's:
    1. Relatively simple with no real difficult challenge
    2. Short
    3. Can feel corny or repetitive as you make your way through the levels. I think I glitched it a few times as well.

    If you are looking for something a little entertaining to play, don't spend more than $10 on this but it can help pass the time when you need something light to explore between bigger releases.    … Expand

    Good game, but I felt it very short, about 4-5 hours to finish all the tasks and trophies.
    The story is quite fun, not very smart but enjoyable.
    We need more of this games coming out.

    This game is strategy role playing game. Player must stick the sticker to the appropriate object. The graphic is freak but good. The role and story is good too.

    i felt this game slapped me in the face. to be honest this game had some poor game play. really it was goofy and that"s what it was meant to be. the platform game was lacking adventure but made up for in laughs. An ok game but it just wasn't for me

    I got a chuckle or two out of this game especially in the final chapter... The game is really short but I'm glad it is because the game itself isn't very fun. Not only is it not fun, the game is easy too.. I will give credit to the people who made this game though because the mind reading and being able to take an item from the persons thoughts is pretty cool....

The game is a puzzle game with platforming, don't expect this game to be addictive either, I found many times where I wanted to put the game down out of sheer boredom...The game really starts on Chapter 3 as the first 2 chapters are kind of like tutorials.
    The game reminded me a lot like Little big planet mostly because of the art style.. Everything is made out of cardboard and stickers, I like the art style very much.. Game will probably take around 2 hours to beat.... Since it's free on PSN I'd give it a look just because it can be pretty humorous sometimes albeit stupid humour but still funny.. Once you complete the game it is doubtful that you will want to return...    … Expand

    First off I got to say that I didn't have high hopes for this game. I doesn't really seem to appeal to me on paper....But after 15 minutes into the game, I could not stop playing it.
    Simply said: It's Unique. I believe that is the reason the game is so appealing. There aren't many games like this on consoles and I'm really glad Sony has brought so many Indie games to the PS4.

    It becomes very entertaining to use your telekinetic powers to read the characters minds and try to help them solve their problems. It's full of interesting puzzles to solve by reading minds and piecing together clues.
    The games art style is one of its best features as it brings to life the cardboard cutouts with color and personality.The good voice acting also adds charm.

    Although the game can be completed rather quickly I would still recommend giving this one a shot.    … Expand

    This is the Lite 2D version of Psychonauts.
    First and foremost the art is a mix of Psychonauts and Puppeteer. Great stuff, it's one of its high points. The second high point is the characters and the humor. It's Schaffer class. The story is also quite nice.
    On the down side, it's worst aspect is its non-platforming. It's a 2D puzzle platformer and it plays as a point n click game.    This is the Lite 2D version of Psychonauts.

    On the down side, it's worst aspect is its non-platforming. It's a 2D puzzle platformer and it plays as a point n click game. There are 2 kinds of puzzles, the "escape from the goons" and the "which sticker goes where". Sadly, that's the whole gameplay. Maybe one or two times in the entirety of the game I had to do something different such as make someone follow me to a specific place, but that's it.

    it's too bad that it is as shallow as it gets cause the story is quite nice, the art is great and the humor is LOL type. More gameplay elements people and make more layers to the sticker puzzles.    … Expand

    Stick it to the man is an adventure game where you play as Ray... a hard hat tester
    The game starts with him getting hit on the head, to find himself in this dream worth with a pink spaghetti arm sticking out of his head... and of course you have to figure out exactly what is going on…
    This opening tutorial level takes you through the basics...
    And is honestly what I wish the entire game was… a straight forward adventure platformer.. but sadly it isnt
    This is a game is told across 10 different chapters and is all about readings minds and trading items...
    It’s about 4 hours long and is full of humor which makes it so enjoyable…
    Your sticky hand can be used to grab thumb tacks to reach higher locations in a levels, but more importantly its used to read characters minds, and snatch their thoughts in the form of a sticker…
    As an adventure game you’re basically running around an area, using your map to see locations you haven’t been to yet and interacting with everything you can, listening to everyone’s thoughts until eventually someone thinks of an item you can grab and take it to the person that needs that item.. They’ll then either think of a new item or drop an item you need for someone else... and the cycle continues...
    It’s a really fun cycle, definitely one of my favorite ways an adventure game is delivered... you aren’t really combining items.. Just listening to characters, their needs, and providing them with those items to eventually be able to get what you need to move onto the next section…
    However… listening to characters gets old really fast…
    Dialog can go on for what feels like forever…
    Thankfully you are able to just fast forward thoughts, which is what I ended up doing for more than half of the game...
    he mind reading novelty quickly wore off for me…
    but you’re not the only one that knows about your sticky hand...
    There are of course bad guys after you too, and you’re able to read their minds to put effects on them like temporarily putting them asleep so you can sneak past them..
    At first they’re a nice little challenge for you to overcome every once in a while... but by the games end they just become a nuisance in your way...
    As the game wants to annoying you with like 5 of them at once…
    Though I was over this game long before its conclusion…
    This is still a really clever and charming game…
    There’s a story and mystery that keeps you going forward, the adventure aspects are delivered wonderfully and the writing is guaranteed to make you laugh here and there…
    I give Stick it to the Man!

    A clever game. The visuals are fantastic. The soundtrack is above par. The controls, eh. Sometimes I find myself missing a platform jump or an item grab with the sticky hand and it takes me out of the game. I have gone back to the game a few times just for the cheese factor and get a little laugh every now and then. I think what makes it a 7 from say a 5 are the visuals and the goofy worldA clever game.

I think what makes it a 7 from say a 5 are the visuals and the goofy world you get to play in. I love the cardboard-esque town and seeing the cars float by and the eerie street lights illuminating the town. A good indy worth a few bucks or a free download. Polished controls and a better plot line could have made the game better.… Expand

    This game has an interesting story behind it. The visuals at the beginning didn't appeal to me, but once you get into the story, i couldn't see it any other way. The idea of getting into peoples thoughts and figuring out puzzles was very entertaining. It isn't too long, which is a good thing. They put the perfect amount of time into this and they don't have much filler at all. IThis game has an interesting story behind it.

    Funny game, the platforming is not anything good, but the story is fine, and there is lots of fun interactions you can do. The gameplay isn't great, but the experience and story is fun.
