At most, some people could consider Potata: Fairy Flower to be fine. The platforming is good enough, and the game's multiple endings provide a reason for a few replays of the short journey. Even the combat is serviceable once you recognize the game's faint tells about landing hits or being hit. However, from the boring puzzles to the bad translation and the performance and graphical issues, there's enough here to drain one's enthusiasm for the title. There are worse platformers out there, but there are also loads of other better platformers to enjoy before spending time with this one.

When Potata: Fairy Flower is doing what it does best – tense platforming among open, branching levels loaded with danger – it’s excellent. Sure, it can be punishing at times but it has been quite some time since a game made my palms as sweaty as this game did at times. For that, it has to be commended. It’s a shame these moments are offset by meandering, sometimes nonsensical quests coupled with reams of text to read, some of which are confusing, and puzzles which grind the game to a halt.

Potata: Fairy Flower isn’t going to boil your spuds, but it’s a perfectly enjoyable title. It may have some unfinished edges and lacklustre puzzle content, but the solid platforming experience, accidental comedy, and excellent audio-visual presentation make up for it.

Scored Potata for 9, just because I expected more in terms of mechanics variety after I saw few videos. But anyway, don't underestimate this game because of great casual art. Sometimes it makes me sweat! A good choice for a casual and mid-core gamer. Also one of the best platformers for the last few months, so far!

Pretty much my favorite platformer of 2020 – the levels are nicely crafted, puzzles are good (although they could be harder), and the story is surprisingly compelling. Recommend.

Potata is a little gem of platforming games. The art style is awesome and level design isn't as casual as it seems – it gets quite challenging later on. Overall it's a great game for its price.

While it may not be critically riveting, Potato: Fairy Flower is a game that is simply meant to be played and enjoyed. There is some storytelling, some sense of adventure, some pattern learning and an adversary to overcome. There are also some areas where it could use some polishing, but taken for what it is, this is a fun game.

This whimsical, family-friendly title manages to join two unlikely game genres together quite well. The genres being platformer and puzzler. Neither of these areas is exceedingly challenging but just difficult enough to make you feel good about yourself once you get to the next save point. While the story is not a gripping tale of suspense the platforming moments will have you feeling some Super Mario nostalgia.

I bought it for my daughter - I couldn’t tear her from the console for three hours) I put her to sleep - now I can’t tear myself away. It seems to be a simple platformer, but made very high quality and exciting. I am satisfied!

If these minor technical blips are ironed out, we have no qualms in recommending Potata: Fairy Flower. It’s an odd name for a game, to be sure, but if you’re a fan of puzzle platformers and enjoy the magical fantasy tone on display here, you’ll have a great time over the course of its 10-hour runtime, and we’re more than looking forward to seeing an eventual sequel.

Potato looks and plays great, but there are many flaws in its design. Overall, the experience can be enjoyable, as long as you understand you’ll be facing a few issues along the way.

Potata: Fairy Flower is a cheerful little adventure filled with tricky platforming, puzzles, and challenging boss battles. It will not win any awards for originality and it falls flat compared to the top games in the genre. But in the end, some missteps do not stop Potata: Fairy Flower from being a surprisingly enjoyable experience for the whole family.

The platforming is dull, the puzzles are insultingly simple or totally unexplained and the game lacks enough character to be memorable or stand on its own. Unless you're really desperate, I would suggest you look elsewhere.
