    This game would be worth getting just for the story and dialogue. If you have it free from Ps Plus there is no excuse.

    Great game with hilarious writing and amazing art! A great indie game from a extremely cool and genuine indie company called Zoink. Seriously give this a look if you are looking for a good puzzler with a great sense of humor.

    Very funny host of characters which are unique and hilarious. Game is pretty polished and has a very nice overall art style. I also loved the main character I think he was quite interesting and the story (although short) reveals much about this man in a beautiful light hearted fashion.

    An excellent game. Full of charm, wit and charisma. Completely whacky story with individual characters all of which stick in your memory for a long time to come. Different to anything I've ever played game/story wise as well, as different as it is they've got it to work so well. All the elements come together to make it a memorable ride of madness.

    Absolutely brilliant. Smart & funny writing, memorable characters, great voice acting, a nice mix of adventure gaming and platforming, etc. One of the best independent game releases I've had the pleasure of experiencing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Right now I give this game an 8. This score can potentially go higher though because i'm currently only on Chapter 6. This is probably one of the over the top games I've ever played. It has very wacky humor but it is funny at times. The game is similar to LittleBigPlanet as far as design. It's more or less 2D, but you can change your perspective. The game's level design is creative, and each character has their own uniqueness to them. It definitely helps that you can read people's minds because it gives you more connection to the characters. All in all, Stick it to The Man is a solid PS4 game, especially since it is free for PS Plus members.… Expand

    Fun and funny game :-). While the gameplay isn't anything special, it's the story and humor that's front and center. It isn't a difficult game and doesn't require much platformer nor puzzling. Anyone can play it, every age, gamer and non gamer. Recommended!

    Really enjoyable game, I really liked the presentation and music .Most fun I have had on the PS4 for a few months. I don't have the time anymore to have to think about a game too much, or spend 15 minutes restarting from an old checkpoint, so this was perfect for me.

    I finished the game and all the achievements in one night, absolutely a unique game. I am glad that PSN makes it a free game otherwise I will miss this amazing indie game. The "puzzle" is genius and makes me laugh out loud. I watched all the dialogue and cut-scene since they are hilarious and crazy!

    Great game with awesome humor – it reminds me of the Simpsons – with great characters. The art direction with the cardboard style and stickers is also fantastic. I especially like the part of getting into people's head and solving puzzles. Game can be completed in around 6 hours.

    Nothing special as of story telling. Its just a series of dis-jointed adventures, but it a damn fun time. The environment is beautiful on the PS4 and the art design is something to not take for granted. Also has solid game-play (not much can be said ). Overall this game is a must try for every gamer.

    Very fun, It has some very upbeat humor and has an amazing soundtrack to go with it, it allows you to explore and think with varying puzzles, and has very funny jokes and references throughout the game, it has a lot of charm to it, and is definitely a game I would suggest to check out, especially if you are someone that is good at solving, and enjoys a game with humor throughout.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is overall great. It is not amazing, But it is very enjoyable. The humor is weird, and I love it. It has a very dark undertone though, With many horrid things in it, like a man about to hang himself because his girlfriend left him, and a man at a psychic because his dad and he had an argument then his dad died. The game feels like a very dark morbid Paper Mario. The level design is new and refreshing as characters are 2d and the environment is 3d and All seems to be made of metal and cardboard.… Expand

    I got this game for free from the PSN store because I have PlayStation+. It is a fun game to pick up and play for 15-30 minutes at a time. Probably one of the better free PS+ games on the PSN store.

    I enjoyed this. I can see how it would be annoying to some people if it wasn't so short. There are maybe 9-10 levels, which is just about perfect. The game play and controls are not as refined and precise as I would like, but the real appeal is the art, the voice acting, and the humor. It probably shouldn't take more than 4-5 hours to finish, and the story and jokes make it worth your time.

    Fun game, great art. If nothing else play it for the art. Oh, the music as well...

    Despite its awkward aiming and lackluster platforming, Stick it to The Man is a delightful puzzle game with a peculiar world worth exploring.

    Stick It to the Man is a charming and delightful little adventure game. It doesn't have the most content, but it's a fun experience.
