Critic Reviews for Chicken Run: Eggstraction
Set after the events of Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, this latest game set in the Chicken Run universe lets you put together your own team and attempt to rescue yet more chickens from a variety of locations. The result is a simple stealth game with one or two frustrations, but thanks to its charming animation and impressive voice cast, franchise fans will likely enjoy it quite a lot.
My gaming chum and I had a lot of fun with Chicken Run: Eggstraction, especially thanks to its top-notch presentation that represents the franchise in a phenomenally authentic way. Its gameplay can be frustrating, yes, but it's still rewarding stuff at the end of the day. đ
Chicken Run: Eggstraction feels and plays like a solid top-down adventure game. The story isn't particularly special, but the cinematics are quite cool. Gameplay-wise, it's easy to play, but the interesting level design makes the puzzles here and there quite enjoyable. The game plays best in co-op, as it allows for better teamwork. The AI ââisn't as engaging and interactive in single-player, as you feel like you're on your own too much. With about five hours of gameplay, and a bit of extra co-op content, the game isn't exceptionally long, but ultimately, I had a great time. Unfortunately, it's not much more than that.

Chicken Run: Eggstraction is an enjoyable and heartfelt stealth-adventure that captures Aardmanâs trademark charm perfectly. Its quick pace, simple mechanics, and clever humour make it ideal for younger players, whilst the inclusion of local co-op makes it perfect for families to enjoy together too. Yes, itâs simple in design, the camera can be awkward, and the co-op is occasionally chaotic, but these flaws never overshadow the fun thatâs had when playing. Packed with personality, warmth, and that classic Aardman wit, Chicken Run: Eggstraction offers a delightful video game adaptation of the Chicken Run world.
As a game itself, Chicken Run: Eggstraction is fine, completely competent, even if itâs not the most fantastic stealth title in the world. But when you combine its simple but effective gameplay loop (which can also be enjoyed with a friend in local co-op) with some jaw-dropping cutscenes, excellent voice acting, and some lovely British dry wit, you get a game that will rarely make you feel bored.
Chicken Run: Eggstraction may have some structural flaws, but it's still a good way to continue the adventures of the birds who just want to survive without becoming lunch. The mechanics aren't complicated, and the pace is light, making it suitable for younger players or those looking for a few laughs while hiding from malicious chefs.

Chicken Run Eggstraction is a family-friendly casual game that fits nicely into an introduction to the extraction genre. It may not be for everyone, but the quirky, endearing chooks and light-hearted humour carry the long legacy of Aardmanâs charming catalogue.
