Chicken Run: Eggstraction is a solid movie companion game that picks up where Dawn of the Nugget left off, complimenting action platforming adventure with cinematic cutscenes rich with Aardman's signature style and humour.
Will you be able to save everyone from the evil corporation?
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. 🐔
Overall, Chicken Run: Eggstraction was pretty disappointing. There was a lot that was so good about it, but the play had a lot of issues with it. If you can grab this title on sale, and you like these types of games, you should pick it up and try it out. However, I don’t think it is worth the full price. Like many licensed games before it, Chicken Run: Eggstraction was more focused on the animations rather than the gameplay. I think it would be a lot more fun if you had someone to play with as well. The co-op would give you someone else to help mitigate some of the issues I had.
Chicken Run Eggstraction might not be the most revolutionary stealth game, but there's more than a nugget of fun to find in this charming package
This polished isometric stealth sequel delivers an engaging story and Aardman's trademark wit, making it a good fit for fans of the series. However, the clunky controls and awkward camera angles work against the core stealth mechanics, which already feel too simplified. It is a short and easy experience, but it still offers solid replay value despite its flaws.
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 Aardman’s charming catalogue.
Chicken Run: Eggstraction is an enjoyable and heartfelt stealth-adventure that captures Aardman’s 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, it’s simple in design, the camera can be awkward, and the co-op is occasionally chaotic, but these flaws never overshadow the fun that’s 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.
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 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 isn'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.

As a game itself, Chicken Run: Eggstraction is fine, completely competent, even if it’s 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.
