Adventures of Chris

Adventures of Chris is a fun and challenging platform title. Its crazy characters and childish plot will amuse you throughout. Furthermore, the challenging gameplay and interesting level design will hold your attention from beginning to end.

A good heart and strong sense of design can’t elevate Adventures of Chris out of its lacklustre platforming and mixed messaging on body issues.

Overall, Adventures of Chris is a perfectly pleasant, charming and nostalgic trip for anyone who grew up in the 1990s.

Adventures of Chris doesn't break new ground in the 2D platformer genre. Still, it provides genuine humour, personality and variety in bucketloads, all while sending a few loving glances to the 16-bit era of videogames.

Adventures of Chris is a platformer with smooth controls but unforgiving gameplay that will leave you more frustrated than having fun.

However, for players who persevere beyond those opening levels, there are some genuinely clever and fun platforming elements to be discovered, adapting and evolving the 16 bit template. It's just a shame that the first part of the game is so slavish to the formula. There's fun to be had here, just at the expense of the legacy it evokes.

Have fun taking out giant spiders, bats, frogs, and other oversized creatures on your way to becoming the hero today.

I'll give credit where it is due, while action platforming doesn't often change things up too much Adventures of Chris creatively throws some curveballs at you in order to try to keep things a little more fresh...
