I approached my time with Giga Wrecker Alt. with a bit of excitement as the developers also created the Pokemon games. Giga Wrecker Alt. is a fine game featuring a number of interesting mechanics that all add to the overall gameplay making it fun and enjoyable overall. Giga Wrecker Alt. is a platformer and while the platforming elements don’t always feel as tight nor responsive as they could, I was able to look past the minor control issues due to the variety in this metroidvania stylized world. There's a variety in the enemies and puzzles and whilst the bosses were aggravating on certain occasions, I was still able to enjoy the variety in the game. Giga Wrecker Alt. has a fantastic anime art style which is simple yet effective. The sound design combined well and gave an immersive feeling throughout my time with the game. Giga Wrecker Alt. has a few shortcomings of course, but it does get more right than it gets wrong. A solid price point and a sound adventure makes this one worth adding to your Xbox game library at the end of the day.… Expand

    Giga Wrecker Alt. is a game that teeters on the brink of a great experience. It has some wonderful ideas that are hampered by the lackluster controls and frustrating execution. The world and its surroundings are great, the ideas are fantastic, but it just never hits that sweet spot of being something I felt compelled to keep coming back to. I struggled to get past some parts while others were a pure joy to play. It is the definition of mixed emotions.

    The idea with its mixture of platforming and physics based puzzles is good - and so is the minimalistic anime design. The mechanical execution with its surprsingly inert controls and the oversensitive physics calculations not so much.

    Despite its glimmers of inventiveness and artistry, Giga Wrecker Alt is its own worst enemy. The puzzles are too frustrating and the platforming too fiddly to recommend it. Game Freak set out to make something very different than the series it's most known for, and the studio's trademark creativity shines through in brief moments. The execution on the whole, though, is sadly lacking.
