We The Force is a fledgling studio based out of Mexico. Back in 2012, they were a service company, working on various projects on iOS for Canadian and Mexican customers. They were successful, but couldn't help but dream bigger, and in June 2013 broke out on their own to begin working on Randall, a project vastly different from anything they had attempted before. It's a sidescrolling platformer with an impressive combat system and a captivating central mechanic that prompts players to experiment and think outside the box.
Excessive mind numbing.
"Randall has promise as a platformer and with some work on level variety and a lot of work on the combat mechanics it could be a fun game. Unfortunately it has some serious issues with bugs and glitches that completely ruin the game to where I couldn’t even finish it which completely ruins any good the game could have been. Lack of variety and repetitive combat is something that I can bear to a point considering it being a self published indie title, but it being a complete glitchy and buggy mess is unacceptable. It didn’t even give me the chance to quit from boredom before it repeated gave me the boot multiple times."
How this game got approved to launch on PS4 is crazy with how many glitches and bugs it has.
John digs into this action platformer in his latest review.
It’s become almost cliche in recent years to celebrate games which are “gloriously dumb”. Randall is ingloriously dumb, being both asinine and derivative.
Since this is a game made in Mexico, I'm not surprised it got mediocre reviews. Not a lot of mexican games are that great (same goes with most spanish/latin games). The only good mexican game I know is Aragami. Other than that, the majority like Dog Child, Randall, Attractio, etc. aren't that good.
