It takes the style, gameplay, and mechanics of early platformers and produces a game that both feels like a lost classic and remains fun and involving to play. Its main negative is perhaps an inevitable result of its close adherence to historical precedence as it is fairly short. It’s a bit short but there is increased longevity in finding all the collectables or playing through at harder skill levels, but the challenge is generally gauged well enough on normal that the latter didn’t appeal to me. If you fancy some truly retro gaming fun it is well worth picking up and it is definitely a fox you’ll want to hunt out when on sale.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.thesixthaxis.com\u002F2018\u002F05\u002F16\u002Ffox-n-forests-review\u002F","7.0",{"id":130,"author":131,"outlet":134,"summary":139,"review_url":140,"review_date":13,"original_score":141,"normalized_score":142},99295,{"id":132,"name":133},8921,"A.J.
