GamingTrend Review: Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure

GamingTrend writes: "There's a trend happening with puzzle games. All of a sudden, puzzle games are being combined with different genres in a way we haven't seen before. Now they're getting their grubby little hands into platforming games. One of these new puzzle-platformers is Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure.

Henry Hatsworth is an old-school British explorer-type who speaks with phrases like "Good show!" and "Quite right!"

One And Done: Will These Characters Return?

Chris Buffa (Modojo): Not every video game hero has a career like Mario and Sonic's. Of course, not every game deserves a sequel. Some were never meant to produce a series, while others bombed at retail, the respective publishers cutting their losses and moving on to something presumably more lucrative.

As a result, many of these characters fade into obscurity, killing the opportunity to see them again.
