    Jumanji: The Video Game is best left in that dark and dusty cupboard that it will no doubt end up in.

    This game is both good and bad. As a gamer who loves third person shooting and couch coop I feel this is a just about the only game out there.This game is both good and bad. As a gamer who loves third person shooting and couch coop I feel this is a just about the only game out there. Conceptually this game could have been epic. Online and couch coop, treasure hunting. Ridding a the popularity of successful franchise. the most important aspect is my kids love it. I can play with my girls, Who love the easy, shallow, mechanics and graphics and Jumanji. That is the good.

    The bad is the game is terribly optimized. It is visually terrible. the movement is clunky and the game play loop is very limited. The writing is unworldly terrible. in short this game lacks any soul. it is a skeleton of a concept based on popular franchise with popular actors. It is like it doesnt know that it had the possibility to be something special and went straight to riding the wave of popularity that is Jumanji. All is not lost, but will more money be put into the game in adding levels or tweaking the movement or adding additional challenges to the levels. Just a loot loop to increase the reward of grinding the level a little bit more would increase the value of this game tremendously.

    This game could have been awesome. As it is, it is a rare type of game that fits my niche and my kids but it really lacks...everything.    … Expand

    Boring
    That word sums up the experience
    It is easy, shallow, boring and looks really ugly They could have done something great with the    Boring
    That word sums up the experience
    It is easy, shallow, boring and looks really ugly
    They could have done something great with the video-gamey film and make it interesting
    But they made a generic shooter
    Outright games will be looked back upon as the ljn of this generation
    It works I suppose so that saves it from a zero but I highly discourage anyone to buy this game
    I highly discourage anyone from buying this game
    If you want to play a jumanji game, it does not feel like one so don’t bother
    If you are a parent who wants to play games with your children, play something like overcoocked, super mario party or enter the gungeon    … Expand

    If you enjoy absolute dumpster fires of licensed games, than this is perfect for you.
