Flipping Death Reviews
Flipping Death, like Stick it to the Man! before it, is an excellent game that you should definitely buy on PlayStation 4. It's great art style, fun soundtrack, solid gameplay mechanics and humorous writing make this a must-have game on Sony's home console.
Flipping Death is a worthy successor to Stick it to the Man and takes many of the elements from its predecessor to make for an even better experience. The premise of controlling Death and finding out the fate of certain humans is an interesting one and the art style gives the game its own unique personality, but it can also be divisive for others.
Personally I felt that I lost a little something in the process by doing so. In the end though, it all depends on the experience players find most desirable. All what matters is this though: Flipping Death is an adventure game everyone can enjoy.
Flipping Death is not only one of the best indie games on the Nintendo Switch, it's one of the best games on Nintendo's hybrid console, period. If you're a fan of Zoink Games then this is a no-brainer, but if you have yet to try some of their great releases, then you can't go wrong with making Flipping Death your first purchase from Zoink Games.
Flipping Death is an innovative and enjoyable game on many levels.
Flipping Death’s storytelling is compelling and its delightfully twisted art style makes it stand tall. Regardless of some odd character physics and the head-scratching hints, the game is simply amusing to watch. Who knew being death could be so challenging?
Flipping Death is a one-of-a-kind bet. If you liked Stick it to the Man! the new Zoink Games is for you. It's an interesting story, a lot of laughing points, and a clever use of the game mechanics. I wish dying was that much fun.

"Refreshingly weird-looking gothic platformer."

Flipping Death offers up to 10 hours of gameplay, has brilliant setups to that gameplay, animated fluidly and is voiced by a wonderful cast. It takes the overall flow of Stick It To The Man! and improves on it in every way, allowing more things to see and people to engage with, and engage as. The writing is just as good as ever and there's extra collectables. Zoink Games managed to do even better than their previous offering, which is saying a lot. As with Stick It To The Man!, Flipping Death is a puzzle-platformer with an identity that stands out from the rest and is a nice accomplishment for Zoink Games to have under the belt. I eagerly await the 3rd game in this series.
Zoink’s latest IP sure knows how to convince players that death isn’t something (or someone) to be afraid of. If you still are, however, then you can always just muster your confidence and run around… Flipping Death.
Flipping Death is one of the alternatives of modern puzzle adventures that most resemble the classic quirkiness of LucasArts games, bringing in my opinion even funnier and more absurd situations that such classics while also achieving to be less obtuse with their puzzles resolutions. If you enjoyed the spirit of those games and also Stick It to the Man, you more than likely will have a lot of fun with Flipping Death as well.

As a result of its unique art style, professional voice acting, and whimsical world, Flipping Death has found its own place in the adventure genre. Nowadays, it's very challenging to make people laugh. Still, Flipping Death has successfully managed to pull that off with clever use of common jokes and employing a cast of weird and comical characters.

If you liked Stick It To The Man! then you’ll absolutely love Zoink Games’ Flipping Death, a fun adventure and puzzle game that will remind you of the good old days of the genre.
Zoink is on a fliptastic roll, Fe was great and now Flipping Death is another huge success. The art designers and visual talent from the Swedish developer is remarkable!
Overall, Flipping Death is an outstanding title that is among the most outright entertaining games I’ve played. Rather than use its humor as a crutch to prop up some convoluted puzzles and messy gameplay elements it instead tackles those issues with care and what I think is a great new direction others should look to emulate. If you like a good laugh, even if Adventure games typically don’t work for you, you owe it to yourself to check it out.
Flipping Death is a flipping great spiritual successor to Stick it to the Man. There are plenty of undead characters to help crossover, a load of challenges for the possessed living to participate in, and countless laughs to have whilst listening to the hilariously twisted humour the game throws at you. Zoink Games have improved on every aspect of the game which was present in SittM in order to bring us yet another awesome adventure-puzzle platformer. The physics are a bit wobbly but everything else in the puzzle platforming adventure game is as solid as a rock.
Penny is a over-the-top goth wannabee that gets a little too zealous about Halloween and is fired from her funeral home job. She then goes to hang out with her boyfriend in a cemetery before falling through a crypt, bashing her body on a rock, and dies - thereby meeting Death himself. Badly in need of a vacation, Death mistakes Penny for his replacement and she becomes the harbinger of doom, helping dead folks get settled into their newfound lives.
Fun from start to finish. Light-hearted humour with a grim twist that provides for hours upon hours of gaming enjoyment. Proclaimed by Zoink Games as their “Spiritual successor to our well-received game Stick it To The Man!”, Flipping Death shares a very similar art style, whilst taking a completely new gameplay direction. An adventure game based on platforming puzzle solving progression that will challenge you with every chapter you progress through whilst leaving you with a strong sense of accomplishment (or frustration depending on how quickly you figure out the games mechanics). At the time of this review no release date has been announced.
Flipping Death is heartfelt, ambitious and wonderfully creative. I love everything about it, faults and all.
