    The system that has managed to create Clever Endeavor Games is really admirable. The game hides some mechanics of great complexity with a very varied personalization in all its sections. Although its control is somewhat imprecise and we would have liked to see more blocks with which to experiment, the fun offered by the game makes us recommend it.

    Ultimate Chicken Horse effortlessly combines level creation, solid platforming and brilliant multiplayer all into one fantastic package. It’s a game that continues to surprise and amuse in huge measures and if we do end up seeing a Super Mario Maker sequel in the future then Nintendo would be wise to take to note of what Clever Endeavour Games has accomplished here.

    While the platforming aspect of the game doesn’t appear to be as big a selling point as the level creation, the gameplay is still tight and solid enough.

    Ultimate Chicken Horse is very easily one of the best party games on Switch. It has a unique blend of creativity and platforming, it is widely accessible with intuitive, fluid controls, and it has loads of content and potential. There was one issue with the port job: Within a few hours of play, I had the game crash on me twice. However, outside of those rare instances, this is one of the most fun experiences on my Switch. If you play your Switch with friends, ever, then you need Ultimate Chicken Horse.

    The style of Ultimate Chicken Horse is great and when it all comes together, it is a special brand of silly party gaming. Unfortunately, unless you find that perfect situation, the quality of the fun can vary wildly. So much of the amusement here is dependent on having the right people to play with. Find that setup and this is a madcap party game.

    Customisable game modes and the option to create your own stages give Ultimate Chicken Horse a nice starting point but the gameplay on offer does wear a little stale after a few rounds.

It triumphs over others in sheer creativity. It can become refreshingly challenging and has good variety. It does however suffer from a lack of content, and online play is very laggy.… Full Review »

Playing with friends is a lot of fun, and the different maps and adjustments make it near infinitely replayable. I primarily play party mode, but there are other modes are fun. When creating a blank stage, I wish the objects interacted more to make cool contraptions, but the weird interactions in the game are fun to explore and use in challenge levels. Customization for the playable animal is also nice, and the score balancing is something I have never seen but is so useful when playing with better or worse players. This game is fun and allows for user created content to be shared online. When playing online, I have experienced lag issues and frequent unstable connections.

    I would recommend it for local play primarily.    … Full Review »
