    Even if its pretty straight-forward, Stranger Things 3: The Game is well-made and funny. It’s a well-balanced game focusing on the fans. The other ones may think it is repetitive and lacking strong characters.

    A true licensed tie-in game, Stranger Things 3: The Game is most fun when you let fandom lead the way but can fall flat on its own.

    Eventually, the game starts to drag as more drawn-out brawling dungeons get shoehorned into the plot, and the novelty of its rendition begins to wane as you realise how repetitive it all is. [Issue#166, p.92]

    The Stranger Things license and charm keeps it from being anything less than average. It's very reminiscent of the old SNES games back in theThe Stranger Things license and charm keeps it from being anything less than average. It's very reminiscent of the old SNES games back in the day, with pretty 2D sprites. What's cool about the game is that you are able to explore the town and go anywhere you like, which I thought was surprising. The story is basically ST: Season 3, so nothing new there. All the same story beats and characters. You're basically playing through the movie. It's fun for an hour or two but it didn't hold my interest too long after that. If you're a hardcore fan, pick it up, for sure. If not, it's safe to skip this one.… Full Review »
