Pumpkin Jack reviews and comments
A perfect Halloween Haunt that captures the best essences of the PS2 golden eras of platforming. Every level has something new to offer.
PROS
Game is promotionally available on Prime Gaming! (10/24) Grab it for free while you can.
Level Design is very well laid out. Though there are some veering paths, the main flow is very straightforward and has a laid back experience.
There's lots of mechanics, weapons, and enemies introduced throughout the game that change things up, and the platforming segments get progressively more difficult in a good way! Lots of fun bosses with unique mechanics.
Beautifully crafted worlds, characters, and music.
Lots of fun mini-game segments
CONS
The game is medium length - at 100% completion, reading through dialogue and finishing cutscenes, I finished the game in around 8 hours.
I would gladly pay ~$20 for this, but 30 is competing with other longer length platformers.
Worth getting on a sale. This game is available for free as of 10/24 on Prime Gaming. Grab it while you can!
Although the game offers a lot of different weapons, there were few times I felt specific choices would be better than others. Certain weapons unlocked earlier at times felt better than weapons earned later in the game. Gets a little repetitive in combat toward the end of the game, but only because of the number of enemies coming at you at once.
At times, the environment deaths can be a little unforgiving when testing if terrain is walkable. It is however, a relatively forgiving game in terms of how much damage can be taken.
VERDICT

Everyone should play this at least once, especially during the Halloween Season!
👍4/5.
