    Absolutely hell of the game! It 3d platformer part is broken and you kid will be mad, and there is challenges... Oh, one with coins and insane number of segments is definitely one of worts I ever saw (it reset challenge to starting point, as dumb designers usually do). Shooter part is simply bad, locking does not work properly and camera is insane.

    Another disappointment.
    Since Kena was nothing else than a playable Pixar film with boring and very repetitive gameplay, this is the little brother of it.
    It doesn't look that nice, but it plays just as boring. Nobody needs the graphic faders.

    On the surface, Tamarin is a cute, beautifully-made action game with the most adorable of protagonists. However, while the game succeeds in its colorful aesthetics and enticing music, it lacks in its depth and storytelling. There is ultimately too much monkeying around and not enough substance. The game gets an A for effort when it comes to creativity, but ultimately the frustration outweighed the enjoyment.

    Overall, Tamarin is an admirable attempt to bring back a type of game not widely popular in modern times. However, despite my love of old-school experiences, this sticks too close to its roots in the worst possible ways — this adorable monkey can’t save shoddy, outdated game design.

    On some level, I guess, Tamarin is sort of amazing, in that I can’t think of when I last played a game that was this much of an outright disaster on every level. I’ve played plenty of terrible games recently, but at least in those cases you could see what they were going for, and you could imagine what good versions of those games might look like. In Tamarin, the game is an absolute fiasco at a conceptual level. That doesn’t mean you should play it, of course, but the game gets points for effort, if absolutely nothing else..
