Pepper Grinder is a wonderfully inventive and fun platformer that no fan of the genre will want to miss out on. It may have a runtime that feels a little too short, but this is ultimately a deeply enjoyable, challenging, and highly replayable game with lots of personality. If you think you’d be interested, we’d suggest you pick up Pepper Grinder at the next opportunity (and there's a even downloadable demo if you're on the fence).

Like its diminutive main character, Pepper Grinder may be a little on the short side, but even this small pinch of Pepper still packs plenty of punch. Plowing through platforms feels fantastic, no two levels ever seem the same, and there are some wonderfully destructive toys to discover and employ along the way. I do wish the boss fights outside of the final encounter were a bit more challenging, and the lack of anything meaningful to buy in the in-game store meant I didn’t feel compelled to take too many return trips through each world to collect any missed currency and extend my playtime. But if you’re in the mood for a short but sweet slice of propulsive platforming action of a kind rarely seen since Ecco the Dolphin’s last adventure, Pepper Grinder is all driller and no filler.

Pepper Grinder is highly enjoyable, but a touch too short. It's a very unique platformer that manages to stand out in a very crowded genre, even if it fumbles during the final levels a little bit.

Pepper Grinder offers plenty of fun during a surface level playthrough. Once you drill into the depths of its game mechanics, however, you’ll find an overly forgiving “casual” game and a relatively frustrating “time attack” game. That said, you can collect stickers and that’s pretty cool.

Open Roads is a journey I’m glad I went on, though the disappointing circumstances of its development do feel as if they loom over its final form. As a complete package there’s something to love, something to respect and admire, with two lead actors elevating the material well beyond what many others might have achieved. It’s just a shame it couldn’t have been bigger, bolder in its impact and exploration of its themes and its mysteries. Maybe it needed something darker, something stranger to lean into, but the results stand as a simple yet effective road trip that’s worth taking for an hour or two.

I simply cannot recommend Balatro enough, especially at its price point. I’ve put in easily over twenty hours into this title, and I’m not stopping anytime soon. The more you play, the more you unlock, making it easy to come back to to see what’s next around the corner. I’ve recommended this game to multiple close friends, and every single one of them have told me how much they’re enjoying this experience. If y

Nonostante qualche incrinatura, Pepper Grinder è lontano dall'essere un videogioco insoddisfacente. In un'industria dove ormai la qualità è diventata sinonimo di quantità, il gioco sviluppato da Ahr Ech e pubblicato da Devolver Digital va controcorrente. Nulla di troppo complesso, ma la complessità non è certo richiesta per proporre un'avventura divertente, vecchio stile, che guarda più al passato che in avanti, pur essendo comunque in grado di stupire con quel "poco" che ha da offrire. Se volete fare un giro per il viale dei ricordi senza andare a spolverare le vecchie console e a soffiare nelle cartucce, qui potreste trovare pane per i vostri denti. Ma non andate a caccia di diamanti in una vena di rubini.

Propelled by a star-studded cast and charming retro world, Open Roads' tale of family tragedy stumbles over its heavier themes, delivering an earnest but ultimately safe road trip mystery. Pottering through meticulous environments full of kitschy decor was at least enough to keep me entertained for its short runtime. However, with sharp teeth and no bite, I was left hungry for something meatier and more emotionally charged by the time the credits rolled.

Highwater is certainly a looker (and a sounder(?)), but its predictable combat and uninteresting story make it difficult to drudge all the way through.

A barely-interactive movie that follows a mother and daughter road trip that is disappointingly short on both drama and meaningful choices.

Open Roads lacks interactivity and its art style takes some getting used to, but this is a story you'll want to see through to the end. (Review Policy)
