    Toby: The Secret Mine
    Pretty but cheap
    Toby the secret mine is a limbo styled platformer where you try to rescue all of your friends while dodging hard to see obstacles along your way… throwing switches, pulling chests.. and dying over and over and over… Toby the secret mine is probably one of the most frustrating 2d platforming games ive ever played… there are 21 levels total here    Toby: The Secret Mine

    Toby the secret mine is a limbo styled platformer where you try to rescue all of your friends while dodging hard to see obstacles along your way…
    throwing switches, pulling chests.. and dying over and over and over…
    Toby the secret mine is probably one of the most frustrating 2d platforming games ive ever played…
    there are 21 levels total here that took me around 2 and half hours total to complete…
    These levels are beautiful and can sometimes be just as fun as they are frustrating…
    the forground for the most part is a bunch of black..
    this makes certain traps hard to see…
    and one section in particular I actually had to change my screen settings just to see the level as it was a bunch of blinding whites…
    because of this you will die a lot…
    and the game feels a bit cheap at times…
    This is sort of a game about dying and then remembering where that switch was so you don’t die again…
    and for the most part checkpoints are pretty forgiving here…
    but the most frustrating moments of this game.. especially the final boss fight… where youre given a choice for one of 2 endings…
    I feel like the checkpoint system can be garbage…
    the final level was a horrible end cap to this decently enjoyable game where I felt like luck got involved trying to not get hit with a bomb…
    The rest of the game I didn’t mind the dying and retrying as much.. paying attention to signs for door puzzles, and rescuing my friends out of cages…
    aside from the final level and a few cheap moments here and there..
    Toby The Secret mine is a decently enjoyable yet frustrating 2d platformer…
    I give Tobe The Secret Mine
    a 5.5/10    … Expand

    Toby: The Secret Mine brings some challenging puzzles in the midst of an outstanding visual environment but its very short lifespan ends up harming it way more than it should, as the game will be finished very quickly and offers little replay value when compared to other options in the 2D platforming style that will appear more attractive.

    What's frustrating about Toby: The Secret Mine is that it feels like it's actually trying to offer more than the sum of its parts, but just doesn't quite pull it off. It feels too bogged down in its inspirations to present any exciting ideas of its own, and while it's visually stunning at times, even this apes off superior titles that came before. Some challenging platforming and decent puzzles make it one to consider if you're looking to give your Wii U one last Nindie hurrah, but otherwise we'd recommend waiting on a digital sale before diving into this dark adventure.

    Toby: The Secret Mine is a short and frequently frustrating adventure. You may occasionally get immersed in its simple controls and phenomenal audio but you'll quickly snap out of it whenever something unexpectedly ends your life.
