It may have little in the way of a challenge and takes around two hours to beat, but this is a masterpiece in storytelling and a game that will punch your feels in their feels. [July 2016, p.97]

It's no Towerfall; you'll still spend some time wondering how or why something happened, but at least you'll all be in the same blocky boat. [July 2016, p.96]

A game that's full of extreme highs and lows. [July 2016, p.96]

While not the masterpiece it could have been, this imaginative, immersive sim provides an impressive, dense sandbox with plenty of exciting toys to play with. [July 2016, p.93]

Fight your way through the hideous mechanics and there's a fantastic narrative tucked away in there, a typically Suda-esque yarn that's equal parts compelling, unpredictable and offensive. [July 2016, p.91]

Hot damn, are those cartoon dinos adorable. [July 2016, p.91]

It's fun, frantic and, yes, quick as a flash. [July 2016, p.91]

Reminiscent of both Hohokum and Polly Pocket, K0-0P Mode's bright, chunky dioramas are a treat for kids young and old - particularly in PS VR. Glory to Gnog! [July 2016, p.89]
