Critic Reviews for Garfield - Escape from Monday
Garfield - Escape From Monday feels like a throwback to the PS3 era of 3D platformers and its lighthearted good times will make you grin as you pounce around even if it's one of the easiest games you'll ever play. đ
If youâre fond of 3D platformers, youâll likely find a lot to whet your appetite here, as OSome Studio has done a terrific job with the game, regardless of if youâre a fan of the franchise.
Garfield Escape From Monday is a safe, easy-to-play title built for quick achievements and brain-off gaming sessions, making it a decent pick if you want low-effort platforming despite its basic design and annoying food pop-ins. Itâs a game younger gamers will appreciate, and it is a solid platformer; itâs just not pushing the needle forward.
While it may not be a groundbreakingly-good 3D platformer, and has some quirks, as an approachable family-friendly affair it works
I have played countless, much better platformers, but I have also played a crapton of vastly worse platformers. I have also played a lot of much worse Garfield games over the years. Perhaps the single most shocking aspect about Garfield: Escape from Monday is how effortlessly decent and trouble-free it is. It doesnât reinvent the wheel, it isnât a particularly memorable platforming experience, but there isnât anything inherently wrong with it: you can play it without a care in the world, can complete it without too much trouble, and wonât ever find any big issue youâd call a dealbreaker.
Garfield â Escape From Monday isnât going to blow adults away. Although it is fun, colourful, and entertaining, it is repetitive, easy, and the soundbites are ridiculously annoying. However, it is enjoyable for kids. The stage design, limited violence, and easy to master action are perfect for younger gamers. Accordingly, itâs a family-friendly affair, and I recommend grabbing a copy from the Xbox Store!
