The Good
- Nice blend of gorgeous natural scenery and surreal dream world creations
- richly animated
- enjoyable environmental obstacles.
The Bad
- Minigames can be frustrating
- Axel never shuts up
- lack of feedback makes some puzzle sequences too ambiguous.
Our Verdict
Decent
A qualified success; the positive aspects still outnumber the negative, but the weaknesses noticeably hinder the experience.
It lacks the originality of Samorost and never really excels beyond its artwork, but Axel & Pixel is a pleasant reproduction of an enjoyable game style.
