Funko Fusion Reviews
Unfortunately, Funko's creative and funny world is not reflected in the game. It consists of mistakes and repetitions.

Although the game will delight gamer fans who collect dolls and pop culture, its problems in level design, combat and puzzles, added to the tedious repetition, mean that an incredible graphic section is obscured by poor direction.

At its core, Funko Fusion is a game that aims to achieve good things but doesn't quite manage to pull them off. In addition to slow and unresponsive character controls, the game eventually falls into a repetitive structure. Still, it can be considered a game worth trying, though without high expectations.

Funko Fusion won't steal the hearts of many gamers or attract fans of the Funko POP brand. 10:10 Games should have put a particularly strong emphasis on testing already in the works, which would have prevented many later mistakes - because as things stand, it's just not much fun to play.

Funko Fusion does a good job of recreating worlds with a Funko brand twist. You actually feel like a character from a series participating in significant events. However, take away the Funko Pop! vinyl brand and you're left with a platformer that doesn't stand out from other games on the market. It's also difficult for non-fans to start on new worlds they are unfamiliar with without feeling like a slog. Funko Fusion does some things well but otherwise relies entirely on its brand name for differentiation.
There’s no getting around the feeling that Funko Fusion springs from the same genre gene pool as the Lego video games. Visually, the game is a treat and the levels effectively reference their source material. Funko Fusion isn’t without humor or clever touches, but its combat is excessively repetitious and fused to some awkward, fun-killing mechanics. Underneath those bobbleheads are the bones of a good game that never quite reaches the surface.
Even with the frustration of the near absence of an obvious collector's element, Funko Fusion, in essence, is an average game in both its combat and exploration mechanics, although it can offer some good adventurous passages. Its biggest problem is a certain identity crisis, with questionable franchise choices dialoguing little with each other and complicating the establishment of a cohesive tone for this project full of potential.

If you can tolerate backtracking, a bit of repetitiveness, and a fragmented narrative, Funko Fusion might appeal to you due to its sheer volume of content, its LEGO-esque gameplay, and its cinephile verve.

Funko Fusion's interesting concept is wasted by its repetitive objectives, horrendous boss fights, and constant technical problems.
There's only so far pure nostalgia can take you, and it is not enough to carry Funko Fusion to a respectable score. What could have been the most imaginative game out there ends up as a drab and soulless mess which relies on repetitive puzzles and monotonous battles against the same eight enemy types over and over again.
In spite of its knowing fan service and array of plastic characters, Funko Fusion is hamstrung by a smattering of technical issues, repetitive gameplay, and poor boss battles. Sadly, nostalgia and fan service alone just isn’t enough.
A game that offers gameplay surrounding a vast number of classic franchises seems like a perfect concept on paper, but Funko Fusion is held back by not really knowing the audience it’s targeted towards. This, piled on with a number of bugs and performance issues, means we can’t really recommend this to the average gamer.
Funko Fusions is the perfect mix of adventure and action built into a game where once you start playing you want to play more, even if you know the storyline’s outcome in the levels.
'Funko Fusion' is a game that looks great and plays smoothly. Furthermore, the game has too many shortcomings on peripheral matters, which affect the fun and ease of play. For example, the game is sometimes a bit boring and regularly frustrating. It has the potential to be a great game, but comes across as an incomplete group project.

Funko Fusion will immediately strike a chord with many fans and reaches a large audience through its variable selection of franchises. It clearly draws on the formula of the Lego Travelers Tales games (parts of the development team were already involved in these games), but unfortunately still lacks the finesse and maturity shown in the original. All the building blocks and tools for a good game are there, but disappointingly, there is a lot to criticize, especially when playing for longer. Even after the release, we found a few game-breaking bugs, some of which have already been eliminated by patches. These range from bosses not spawning, minions spawning infinitely and misplaced assets that made level progress impossible. The fact that there is no save function within the levels and that you always had to start again from the beginning after restarting led to slight frustration, also because the collected collectibles also had to be collected/acquired again. We are definitely waiting for the patches (the first of which have already been delivered based on player feedback). Funko Fusion has a lot of potential and virtually endless expansion possibilities thanks to the franchises already represented by Funko, but it still needs to be reworked for a lot of fun. Addendum: Larger patches with a long changelog have already been delivered, so an improvement is definitely possible.

Funko Fusion is a title we didn’t have high expectations for, yet it still managed to surprise us negatively with its complete lack of polish, mission variety, and gameplay styles.

I'm still none the wiser who Funko Fusion is for. It's a kid's game that's too adult for kids, with a batch of franchises that only older fans will really appreciate, but then they've dialled down the difficulty, presumably to appeal to younger players. The shame of it is, with the right characters, this is a great kids game, and the Jurassic World levels only highlight that. Funko Fusion offers plenty to like, but just like its plastic-melting antagonist, it fuses too many of the wrong parts together to feel cohesive.
Funko Fusion is the inevitable video game adaptation of a toy empire, but it doesn't take long before you want to put these Pops back in the box.
While delving into worlds inspired by beloved franchises like Jurassic World or The Thing may seem like an appealing idea to many gamers, Funko Fusion doesn't do it well, and the game is riddled with technical issues that ruin any attempt to immerse you in the experience.

Funko Fusion has enough there for both children and adults to enjoy, and I think that it is definitely worth checking out.
