    While there are a number of small issues holding it back, they aren’t enough to detract from the overall gameplay and fantastic boss fights. it might not live up to the lofty standards set by its 16-bit influences, but Fox n Forests remains an enjoyable platformer with some neat ideas.

    The game could be more enjoyable if it did not force the player to so much repetition of the levels, exposing its rather short lifespan, and if the controls did not feel too heavy at times, as it often leaves the feeling that the actions on the screen do not match the player's request.

    Fox n Forests has good ideas and can really be fun if you can get into the idea it proposes.

    If you’re a true platform nerd who likes collecting things, then Fox n Forests may be worth looking into. However, if you are seeking a brand new experience in the genre, then you may be left feeling that there’s a little more to be desired.

    Fox n Forests can’t be faulted for its fantastically accurate portrayal of 16-bit platforming; very few indie games have managed to nail the look and sound of the SNES so well. Its season-changing gimmick also makes for some inventive moments. Where it lets itself down is in its fiddly controls and its short length, which combine to make a game that’s merely good when it could have been great.

    Playing Fox n Forests feels like dusting off your SNES and jumping into a new title. Just don't be surprised when the retro visuals are matched by retro difficulty and control.

    One of the better Action/Adventure games I've played in a long time. Super fun with plenty of progression.

    Even though I´m not a big fan of 2D games, I totally dig this one!

The characters are programmed with such love and details you really feel the connection between the player and the avatar.
    The "Seasons" feature is an absolute novelty and lets you immerse deeper into the game and gives you a glance behind the curtain;)
    A MUST for Nintendo Switch!
