WTMG's Leo Faria: "Being able to preserve games from a bygone era is crucial, so I do appreciate the fact PIKO Interactive has given us an easier (and cheaper) way to legitimately play Glover in modern machines, with the promise of actually releasing the long-lost sequel in the near future. That doesn’t mean I have to like the game, because even for its time, even for someone with a high level of tolerance for Nintendo 64 control and camera issues, this ain’t a good one. It might be a bit nostalgic to some people, perhaps even a bit charming, but play it for a bit and you’ll realise why you asked your mom to buy you a copy of Banjo-Kazooie or Rayman 2 instead of this game back when it first came out."
Does this 90s platformer warrant a second look?
If you can get past the annoying controls and unwieldy camera, then there is a semi-fun game to be found in Glover (QUByte Classics).
Glover has re-released on modern consoles including PlayStation, Switch and Xbox. Has the N64 cult-classic held up? Read our review.
Glover is one of those games I have fond memories of, but can’t remember if it was good or I was bad.
