A Pixel Story puts together a great, complete package that has a ton of ingenuity and fun to offer.

A Pixel Story has an interesting concept which is not implemented in the best possible way. Although it still is a good platform game, it could maintain better balance between difficulty and pace.

A fascinating journey through the visual history of 2D platformers, although the gameplay doesn’t always match the quality of the many classics it relies on for influence.

Through it can be frustrating and seem downright broken at times, there's still much to enjoy in A Pixel Story. It genuinely has all the making of a great puzzle platformer, but it's sadly kept from its full potential by poorly-executed physics.

At first it looks very promising with the concept of the continuous evolution of the technology creating anticipation, but in the end what we get is a problematic platformer plagued with lack of imagination and a disappointing final world.

A very interesting game, overall. A kind of Mario on maximum settings, dividing the game world into 3 parts (the 4th is very short to highlight separately). A kind of evolution of mechanics and visuals. There are also more difficult rooms to complete the game on 100%, so to speak, but you need to open them with in game coins. The plot and music are simple and do not grab the stars from the sky, but quite normal for such a simple and relatively short game. On the one hand, I would like the game to be longer, and the story to be a little more developed, since the general concept of the game allows you to make a very interesting adventure out of it ... but on the other hand, by the end of the game I began to get tired of it. Especially at the very end, when you have to use clones. And especially those hard-rooms(however, for lovers of such rooms - this is a good seasoning to the main plot). A kind of "golden mean" on the very edge with a lowering the rating. I suggest to grab this game on Steam during their sales.
