Cookie Cutter Reviews
Cookie Cutter is a fantastic game with excellent RPG elements, fighting mechanics that are a healthy mix of fun and challenging, and an artistic style that adds dimension and character to an already very well-made world. The sound does nothing but add to the equation, and the heart that is put into Cookie Cutter is immensely impressive.
Cookie Cutter's real downfall comes from its lack of innovations. While a new Metroid game might not need to add much in terms of new ways to interact with things, fresh faces on the scene should be doing something to stand out amongst the others. Cookie Cutter's visual design helps with that, but it doesn't go much further. Regardless, it really does have quite a bit to behold within, and it is a fun time, and that's really what matters. It is a fun time, and while there are some hiccups with things, there isn't too much to be upset about.
Cookie Cutter’s artwork and fast-paced combat are a delight but a lackluster story that fails to capitalize on its potential as well as genre generic mechanics do little to help it stand out.
Fulfilling the promise of elaborate traditional animations, Cookie Cutter aims at the target of the metroidvania formula without the intention of innovating it. It's a precise, debauched and bloody hit, without a doubt, but it still leaves the feeling that the adventure and the songs are not in the same rebellious tone as the vigorous personality displayed by the protagonist in her fluid and brutal movements.

While there are some nice visuals, story progression and gameplay tend to drag its feet at times. Still worth a taste-test, however.
Cookie Cutter is a compelling yet rough Metroidvania experience that is bound to keep you entertained for hours on end. In its current state it's undeniably rough around the edges, but, with a few patches here and there it's bound to become a cult classic in no time.
Cookie Cutter, Subcult Joint's debut game, fills our hands with pieces of meat, metal and guts in a highly stylized metroidvania, with frenetic and colorful combat. The story is a classic tale of revenge, but one that lends itself to enjoyment, especially thanks to the humor that accompanies it.
