    Platypus Reclayed is a very stylized, but overall simple shooter that can leave an impression on you. Like I mentioned at the start of the review, I love this Claymation style of art so it was a treat to experience this game in 4K. If you want a fun, and quirky shooter that is not only fun to play but challenging, then you will love this. Very cool and highly recommended!

    It may not look like a super-tough shoot 'em up but Platypus Reclayed definitely is and it's so much fun that you'll want to master every stage.

    Platypus Reclayed brings a picturesque combination of an unusual visual style for games in general, especially for shoot 'em ups, with a fierce difficulty level and crazy power-ups. You could even say it's a game made, and remade, with detailed and artisanal craftsmanship.

    There's nothing all that special about the gameplay of Platypus Reclayed, but shoot 'em up fans will likely be won over by its wonderful claymation visuals and often amusing weapons.

    Platypus Reclayed is an unexpected remaster that has worked wonders with the original game's visual style and, following a patch, now offers up some enjoyable shooting too.
