Marvin’s Mittens Review | WGTC
WGTC:
"As a child, snowfalls used to mean a lot more to me. Back then, they brought days off from school, sled rides, and messing about in my yard. While these days snow only makes me worry about how troublesome my daily commute will be, I still have faint memories of the joy it used to bring. And Marvin’s Mittens, an indie platformer from Breakfall Games, does a marvellous job of both rekindling that feeling and providing a simple but very fun and beautiful experience on its own.
The brief intro shows the titular Marvin playing in the snowy woodlands near his home, only to have a mysterious figure make off with one of his mittens. The child gives chase, and the player immediately takes control. It’s a simple plot told with minimal dialog, but it’s also lighthearted in an appealing way, and it doesn’t take long to realize that this game is more about exploring and having a good time than delivering constant cutscenes and exposition."
