Retro gaming has never been as popular as it is now, and to satisfy gamers harkening for the old days, A Pixel Story comes leaping into the breach. This is a charming, 2D puzzle-platformer which throws together a hundred old games into a single mishmash without ever losing sight of its own identity, with nods to dozens of old franchises and movies. It does many things extremely well and will prove satisfying to most people who pick it up, but it relies a little too heavily on nostalgia to give it heart and thus fails to reach the very top of its genre.
Neal take on a rather frustrating platformer in this A Pixel Story and finds it decent but not as special as some of it's cool ideas deserve.
A Pixel Story takes players on a journey through the eras of video gaming and it does a pretty good job at it.
A Pixel Story promises a tribute to the classic games of yesteryear however falls unfortunately short of that goal. However, it is a competent platformer with solid puzzling mechanics and style. The only problem is, if you have played a few of these before then this may be the one too many.
