Ice Age: Scrat's Nutty Adventure Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
It's refreshing to play a game like this. I don't think I've experienced one since Conker. Although this game is not nearly as complex as that, it works well to send Scrat on his way.
Get ready for some 3D action with Ice Age Scrat's Nutty Adventure on the Nintendo Switch. One of the best compliments I can pay to this game is that I was able
3D platformers based on family films have been around for a long time and Ice Age: Scrat's Nutty Adventure is quite a nostalgia trip.
It’s not all doom and gloom, though. I do not think Scrat’s Nutty Adventure is a bad game; it just doesn’t offer anything that it can call its own. There is nothing distinct about the gameplay. It’s just the character and license that give it an identity. It looks fine (albeit with some frame drops, particularly towards the end), and it tries its best to match the silly animations from Ice Age and the shorts that feature Scrat, pulling in humor as its best card.

Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventures isn’t a terrible game, but it is so old fashioned and average that it is difficult to recommend. If you have kids of the right age range and find it on sale, then it's fun enough.

Scrat may find his nut, but I was left unsatisfied by a functional but mediocre tie in.
Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure is a video game that cost me a friend. I requested the game, and it finally showed up in my inbox shortly after its release. Of course, the time it showed up overlapped with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, a game my friends and I wanted to play together. “Come play with us Sam,” they said, and I wanted to. But I had to play Scrat’s Nutty Adventure. The next day one of my friends removed me because I never played with them in favor of playing bad kids games. So I hope this review is worth it.
