A longer development period might have made this into something more playable, but it would still be a game of rehashed concepts notable only for its sheer banality. [May 2017, p.96]
There's potential here, but it's hard to bring that into account when the visuals, audio and gameplay are all mediocre or even straightout bad.
Slapping down poor video games never brings me much pleasure, especially those that genuinely show promise. While it has a unique setting and some solid ideas, boring level design and a general lack of imagination when piecing together all of these components leaves me with very little to praise.

This game has had a profound impact on my standards. I can no longer call a game “good” without reflecting on Troll And I. The graphics are ahead of its time, the gameplay loop is engaging and refreshing, the dialogue is finely crafted. Just a perfect masterpiece, honestly.

Troll and I has the potential to be a must-play adventure but its lack of fine-tuning makes it an often haphazard experience that'll test your patience more than it provides enjoyment. Here's hoping the developers retool it down the road or perhaps learn from their mistakes and create a more refined sequel because they definitely have a winning formula on their hands.

Troll and I is a game whose ambition is deflated by a lack of polish and a worrying absence of player guidance. Combat feels serviceable, if a little unsatisfying, and they find good reasons to switch between the two titular protagonists. There’s an endearing story at play but the game itself has enough issues to stifle the most enthusiastic player. Repercussions from poor execution prevent this from being a truly worthwhile experience.

We were kinda excited about this one, but unfortunately all its good ideas are hidden behind a poor execution. In its current state, it's a game hard to recommend.

I wish I could be more kind to this game, considering it’s an indie title with big ambition, but considering Horizon: Zero Dawn and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild came out only a few weeks ago, and how similar Troll and I is trying to be to those games, there’s really no excusing it.

A poorly-done Tomb Raider clone that lacks everything good about that series. Awful combat and stealth mechanics, a boring dead world, and mindless co-op puzzles await all who purchase this. Do yourself a favor and purchase either of the new Tomb Raider games for less than you’d be paying if you bought Troll and I. I’m still shocked they’re trying to charge the exorbitant amount that they are for this buggy, unimpressive adventure.

Troll and I is ambitious but rubbish, with flawed mechanics and weak storytelling.

Troll and I is a lot fun. I love playing as both characters. The graphics could be better and there are occasional bugs that may just need patching and this game would be an 8 for me. As it is I'll give it a 7 because there's really a lot here and I think it can appeal to a lot of different gamers for different reasons. For one, there is couch coop which makes playing with another player really fun. Also the combat is interesting as you can keep switching up your strategy weather you are the troll or the kid. I love the puzzles where you have to work as a pair. the story is also unique and I am enjoying it a lot so far.

Troll And I presenta un único y principal problema: ha pecado de ser demasiado ambicioso y eso ha dejado en evidencia un apartado audiovisual muy mejorable dado sus modestos orígenes y su reducido presupuesto. Pero lo último que vamos a hacer aquí es castigar a un título por su ambición, y teniendo en cuenta la modesta plantilla del estudio, el resultado final es admirable y deseamos poder ver todo el potencial del estudio contando con mas medios a su alcance (ya sea en una secuela o en una nueva IP). Si sois capaces de pasar por alto sus problemas técnicos y su desfasado apartado gráfico y os gustan los juegos de aventura a lo Naughty Dog, creo que Troll And I os gustara, y probablemente la mayoría de sus asperezas se limen con el tiempo y futuros parches. Espero que sea un título que no acabe siendo recordado porque algún youtuber de cuarta haga un vídeo riéndose de sus carencias técnicas, y se valoren las buenas ideas que ha intentado plasmar (cooperativo local, su historia...). No es original, pero sus mecánicas básicas funcionan lo suficiente como para darnos unas cuantas horas de diversión.

This game is A Way Out, Assassin's Creed and The Last of Us in one. An ambitious project that didn't end well. The gameplay provides entertainment. Playing as the boy, you traverse, craft items, fight with the monsters, sneak up behind enemies, collect things, throw spears. Playing as the troll is more simplistic and less amusing. It's not as well split up as it is in A Way Out. The story is not that bad as some write, it's just simple. The voice-acting is cheesy and the graphics are nowhere near the trailers. The game's biggest issues are loads of game-breaking glitches and bugs. Also, the framerate drops to 10-15 when playing splitscreen. This ruins the experience so much it makes it a really bad game. This game had so much potential. Shame, it could've been at least 7.5/10 if it would run properly with minimum bugs.

It would have been an 8 or 7 had the game been polished. It is indeed ambitious but the story and voice acting are bad, but more importantly, the game runs at 15-20 fps when in split screen, there are numerous game breaking bugs and glitches, the game crashes a lot, … I loved the concept, on paper the game is great, but it runs like crap.

Troll and I is possibly one of the worst games I have ever played, as soon as I began playing as Otto I had regretted loading up the game. The graphics needed quite a bit of work and there were constant bugs when controlling the troll and Otto the narrative is in no way interesting and I had lost whatever interest I had in the game very quickly. The voice acting is sub-par anything that Otto says is very lifeless no matter how important it is to the story. The gameplay is incredibly boring, even in combat. I would not recommend this garbage to anyone.
