    I bought it for my daughter - I couldn’t tear her from the console for three hours) I put her to sleep - now I can’t tear myself away. It seems to be a simple platformer, but made very high quality and exciting. I am satisfied!

    Potata is a little gem of platforming games. The art style is awesome and level design isn't as casual as it seems – it gets quite challenging later on. Overall it's a great game for its price.

    Scored Potata for 9, just because I expected more in terms of mechanics variety after I saw few videos. But anyway, don't underestimate this game because of great casual art. Sometimes it makes me sweat!

    A good choice for a casual and mid-core gamer. Also one of the best platformers for the last few months, so far!

    Pretty much my favorite platformer of 2020 – the levels are nicely crafted, puzzles are good (although they could be harder), and the story is surprisingly compelling. Recommend.

    At most, some people could consider Potata: Fairy Flower to be fine. The platforming is good enough, and the game's multiple endings provide a reason for a few replays of the short journey. Even the combat is serviceable once you recognize the game's faint tells about landing hits or being hit. However, from the boring puzzles to the bad translation and the performance and graphical issues, there's enough here to drain one's enthusiasm for the title. There are worse platformers out there, but there are also loads of other better platformers to enjoy before spending time with this one.

    When Potata: Fairy Flower is doing what it does best – tense platforming among open, branching levels loaded with danger – it’s excellent. Sure, it can be punishing at times but it has been quite some time since a game made my palms as sweaty as this game did at times. For that, it has to be commended. It’s a shame these moments are offset by meandering, sometimes nonsensical quests coupled with reams of text to read, some of which are confusing, and puzzles which grind the game to a halt.

    Potata: Fairy Flower isn’t going to boil your spuds, but it’s a perfectly enjoyable title. It may have some unfinished edges and lacklustre puzzle content, but the solid platforming experience, accidental comedy, and excellent audio-visual presentation make up for it.
