    FUN.
    This game is fun. It either copies or pay homage to IPs like Ratchet & Clank and Jak & Daxter.
    The 3D platforming is a joy and I constantly looked forward to see what was in store for me around every corner. Controls are almost perfectly tight. The only time I had a problem was when battling the little enemy computers. It felt like the punch happened a millisecond or two after    FUN.

    Controls are almost perfectly tight. The only time I had a problem was when battling the little enemy computers. It felt like the punch happened a millisecond or two after pushing the button, but it wasn't a detriment to the enjoyment of the game.
    Also a couple of times I got caught in an obscuring camera angle, but it was very rare.
    The story is just meant to be fun but the voice acting of the main villain is HILARIOUS and is almost by itself a good reason to buy this game.
    My biggest complaint was that the game was way too short. Basically 3 medium sized worlds and a final stage. Difficulty is pleasant. Only twice did I have to repeat an area a few times in order to beat it.
    If you like 3D platformers then i highly recommend this title. I hope they do a sequel or an AAA version.    … Expand

    It's worth noting that this game is quite short; you could easily beat it in one sitting, assuming you're sitting for 2-3 hours. As someone who likes games that don't require a massive time investment, this didn't bother me too much, but if you're going in expecting something that'll tide you over until the release of Super Mario Odyssey — or even until next week, for that matter — this most definitely won't do the trick. Still, even with those flaws, I'd hesitate to say that Skylar & Plux: Adventure on Clover Island is bad, or not worth checking out. As I said, it's a solid 3D platformer, and it generally does what it wants to do fairly well. It's probably not going to be remembered with the same kind of reverence as its forebears, but for an afternoon, it'll be a pleasant way to pass the time.

    Skylar & Plux: Adventure on Clover Island is not that bad. The game mechanics are good, and the platforming is fun, especially on a short game where things don't feel like they drag on for the sake of matching game length with monetary cost. At the same time, it is far from being good. The story feels like an afterthought, and the bad characters, dialogue, and technical and design issues sap away at the game's fun. If you're a young platforming fan, you may dig it, but veterans of the genre may come away feeling disappointed that the game doesn't realize its full potential.

    Skylar & Plux: Adventure on Clover Island is inspired by the classic 90's platform games, but it has a very simple gameplay and short duration.
