    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Stick it to the Man! is a very fun and visually appealing game that deserves a chance.

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

    I really enjoyed this game the committing wiring and character's make it experiment worth taking, the puzzles never get too boring it's a very fast game I think you can get through in 4hours but you're gonna enjoy every moment of it. You love funny game is Worth a try

    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.

    From charming to tedious
    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!

    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.

    La única razón por la que le di una oportunidad al juego es porque fue parte de los juegos "gratis" de PlayStation plus. Los gráficos son muy simples y en general son feos. El game-play tiende a ser muy lento y repetitivo, pero las voces y el audio en general son buenos.

    Story based platformer that just isn't fun and with a run of the mill story. It's very cool to look at and explore but it's just not any fun. Very slow, easy puzzles and dry. I hate saying bad things about games and I wish every games was good, but this was just a waste of my time.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    I'm not really sure why people rate this kind of game high. I was bored to tears the 2 times I gave it a shot. It's not funny, it's not witty...and who the hell cares about "art style" in a video game.

    It stinks, it's not fun, it's not worth playing..1/10

    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.

    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 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

    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.

    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.

    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 game makes me regret paying for PS Plus. Another weak month, are there no other games they could give us? I want to sell my PS4, what a let down this console has been.

    There is hardly a story line and the game play is pretty much non existent. All you do is walk around and listen to what people have to say, and then try to give those people what they want by dragging items around.    This game makes me regret paying for PS Plus.

    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 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.

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

    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.
