Adventures of Chris

Its ok

Its a decent platformer, though I would advice to wait for a big discount, as there are so many better games that I don't know if I should recommend this one. Whenever I see a game that was made for a very long time I wanna try it out, as I'm often experiencing great overall design. Well not this time. This game seems to be a remake of an older pixel art version released on Ouya in 2014. Its mostly reminiscent of typical 90s PC platformer - it reminds me the most of Claw - it has similar levels (but simpler), has multiple power ups to use, even aesthetics are similar (though worse here) but its less frustrating (infinite lives). Chris moves almost exactly the same as Claw I think, though he has unique twist - inflating which allows him to fly freely. This idea is mostly well explored, though I've found level design to be a bit lacking. I find the flying only and water levels to be one of the worst, most boring I've seen in a very long time. On the other hand stealthy levels are very rad. This is where the game shines the most - every level is completely different. The base game is pretty nice, its pace is great as it gradually introduces a new power ups. But endgame felt to me pretty strained, you often go through the same levels blasting through them quickly. Few end game bosses were just bad: taking too much time to kill, too hard to hit, but most of the time not able to kill Chris. Annoying, not challenging. Chris is OP with all abilities so at one point game temporarily takes away all his moves. Why?... One of the end game bosses have long arms that You have to hit - but its hit boxes are only at the end, so if You hit not end, you'll shoot through them. The story is bland but ok, the humor about character fatness is meh. There are many moments where characters are talking "oh its like in X movie/game from 93!", but to me this also felt quite cheap. The most 90s is the game itself.
