    The Company Man plays out like I expected it to, but in a good way. The floors each look different, even though they look different they don’t play too differently from one to the next. Boss battles are fun and different enough that I looked forward to playing each one at the end of a floor. Some of the upgrading options felt a little slow for my taste, but I only have minor complaints to file with H.R. about the game.

    The Company Man is a beautiful action platformer that is crammed with character. Forust Studio has laced the game with social commentary that truly enhances the experience. Even though it has a few pacing issues and lacks replay value, this is an enjoyable fight against capitalism.

    The Company Man is a fun action platformer, but with some balance issues and checkpoints miles apart it's hard to recommend over its peers.

    The Company Man is an exciting platformer with no shortage of action and challenges. From enemies that shoot ice at Jim to customer service representatives that breathe fire, there's a good variety of adversaries to avoid or defeat before moving on to the next level. The Company Man is an immensely fun platformer reminiscent of old school games, but with a modern look at corporate corruption.

    At a time when trading sweat pants for slacks in a bid to return to the office is a dreaded drag, The Company Man reminds us exactly of what we hoped to leave back in the “before times.” With that being said, it’s handled in such a clever and fun way that brawling with colleagues becomes almost cathartic. If you’re tired of being a cog in the corporate machine and want to stick it to the man, The Company Man offers that pick-up-and-platforming-play that’ll surely bring joy to your lunch hour.

    The Company Man has an interesting premise and an appealing art direction, but the gameplay is bland and lacks variety with a general lack of content.

    The Company Man is a serviceable platformer that shows a lot of promise with innovative ideas and clever premises. But it fails to live up to expectations and feels like a missed opportunity to be something more. If you’re looking for a Mega Man clone with some solid workplace puns then this has you covered for about three hours.

    The Company Man is an entertaining 2D platformer that will resonate with many who have worked in the business world. Some of the decisions theThe Company Man is an entertaining 2D platformer that will resonate with many who have worked in the business world. Some of the decisions the game has you make are not the most ethical, however, the game is not all that serious. The characters are whimsical businessfolk that provide fun personalities. The gameplay is responsive and fluid. The visuals, animations, and style are very polished as well. The game is a little short, but the difficulty level is consistent throughout. A great game for fans of 2D platformers looking for a game that can be finished in a night or two.… Expand
