Fox n Forests Review (Steam, Switch, PS4, Xbox One)
A sly good timeÂ
+ fun gameplay
+ upgrades and augments
+ great pixel art
+ inclusion of shoot ’em up stages
+ checkpoints
+really embodies the 16bit games it pays homage to
– really embodies the 16bit games it pays homage to with seemingly length-padding seed season gating
Left out in the sun
+ functional shoot ’em up
+ varied cast of playable characters
– doesn’t do anything particularly special
– seems like letters for ice cream don’t completely appear with regularity
– sound effects are…where are they?
– that plot!
