    For anyone who still holds fond memories of the early days of 3D platformers this is an almost essential purchase.

    If you have an hour or two to spare, Macbat 64: Journey of a Nice Chap is pretty good for the inexpensive price. The blurry visuals and the subpar camera are part of the nostalgic charm. The fun characters and level designs have me hoping for a more substantial sequel. So, pick this one up to help make it happen.

    Whilst the N64-era aesthetic will appeal to some, Macbat 64 just isn’t worth your time. Diploducus Games seem to be relying on little more than nostalgia as it’s selling point, but when it utterly fails to deliver on gameplay, we can’t recommend this to even the most die-hard platforming fans.

    It's sad to say that Macbat 64 felt like it was trying to be more like a checklist than a game to me.

The game simply isn't fun at all, and only feels the need to do things because N64 games did those things too. If anything, it feels like my nostalgia was targeted rather than appealed to. I simply did not enjoy my time with this game.… Expand
