Critic Reviews for Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip
There are so many games in the zeitgeist that focus on offering the most realistic or the most refined and polished experience on the market, but often this can be to the detriment of fun. Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip knows this all too well, focusing solely on bringing the fun factor. It's a love letter to successful mascot platformers of old while offering some much-needed fan service to the kid-friendly GTA-clone sub-genre that gave us The Simpsons Hit and Run and Lego City Undercover. It's not a game that's going to change your life, but it's a wonderful, action-packed romp that just might make a lazy afternoon a little more memorable.
Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip is a daft little sandbox game full of charming characters, but don't expect it to take a long time to complete.
The writing is genuinely amusing, the story rather sweet, and the slapstick physics plenty of fun to engage with. Only some minor technical hiccups interrupt the otherwise smooth gameplay, and while finding the last remaining collectibles can be difficult (even aided by a special Junk-detecting hat), the game succeeds due to its brevity and playful tone.
Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip is a very special game. The simple outline of the story is entertaining and the way the game goes about telling it with its jarring obtuse jokes is unique. The blank stares of the characters and chaotic manner of events create a creative and impactful experience. An unruly camera and dreadful framerate seem minuscule in the presence of superb and effective gameplay. Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip draws you in with its novelty and silliness, but holds you with its charm and joyous disposition, making this high-speed trip with the adorable Terry a noteworthy adventure that all should partake in.
Terry's bite-sized, open world adventure is absurdly hilarious and hilariously absurd in equal measure, providing a few, thrilling hours of goofy fun with some of the best video game comedy in recent memory. If you missed this on PC last year, now's your chance on PS5 and Switch.
The open world was just a means to an end to make the world feel more immersive and Terry doesn’t need to drive that much apart from driving up the building. Sometimes messing around and enjoying a simple laugh is the best joy in life.
Even though it's short, Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip manages to be remarkable with its non-sense humor, compact and well-used open world and, above all, for the construction of a universe endowed with lightness, interesting characters and a good dose of silliness so precious especially in these times when everything is taken too seriously.

From the characters' squawking voices to their amusing dialogue, Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip is a joyful vacation to a nonsensical playground where its small world is your oyster. The Switch performance isn't perfect, but for a game with a fair bit of jank built in, it didn't detract from the experience. At a time when the desire for escapism is at its highest, I'll gladly recommend a trip to Sprankelwater for the best medicine that money can buy.
