    While its tight controls and emergent mechanics create a strong and satisfying blend of 3D platforming and involved, reactive game design, Big Hops’ structure feels at odds with itself. Its narrative focus limits the scope of its open-ended ambitions, resulting in an experience that makes some hops that are certainly big, but don’t always stick the landing.

    Big Hops is a super-cute game that can be a lot of easygoing fun if you enjoy physics-based 3D platforming. However, its mostly empty environments, occasionally annoying glitches, and odd flimsy gameplay segments make it fall flat from time to time.

    Big Hops is a good new 3D platformer that will draw plenty of fans with its fun abilities and locations to explore. My playthrough was affected by bugs, with patches coming to address some of these issues in the run up to launch, but there seem to be some teething issues that remain.
