So... we're not going to talk about Max's 40 brothers? No? Okay then.

Finishing Scribblenauts Unlimited has felt like ending a cycle I didn't know I needed. I was so small back then that I don't remember when I started playing it, but I still can recall the countless hours I spent on this game, summoning all kinds of things with Max's notebook.

Finishing Scribblenauts Unlimited has felt like ending a cycle I didn't know I needed. I was so small back then that I don't remember when I started playing it, but I still can recall the countless hours I spent on this game, summoning all kinds of things with Max's notebook.

So now it makes me terribly nostalgic. It's clearly directed to a much younger audience (even if the different kinds of weapons and slightly violent scenarios make me want to say otherwise), and even though it teaches a very simple message, it's one that's needed to be taught very early on in life.

The fact that I'm not giving it a higher rating is that it grows repetitive very quickly, so it's better to play it in short spans and then move onto another thing for the time being. All of the references to pop culture are quite funny, though! And I'm pretty sure I must have missed half of them.

Scribblenauts is a game for the more creative minds (bizarre ones, too. God knows how many whacky things you can pop out of that notebook) and for people that want to have some silly fun. Just... Make sure that if you ever find a notebook that can make you create anything you desire, don't mess around with it. Otherwise your father may turn your sister into stone to teach you a lesson. And that's totally not cool!

Scribblenauts isn't a kids game, it's actually a killer bug horde survival game.

Fun, with a side of Repetition

I recently got the chance to play through Scribblenauts Unlimited on the Wii U and I gotta say, it was a pretty good time.

I recently got the chance to play through Scribblenauts Unlimited on the Wii U and I gotta say, it was a pretty good time. To be honest, I wasn't necessarily a fan of the original Scribblenauts, but I have to admit the developments they've made in this latest installment, like the addition of adjectives, impressed me. The Wii U tablet controller made it super easy for my partner to join in and see what was going on, which was a major plus. The puzzle design has definitely improved since the original game, but I still found some of the solutions to be a bit repetitive.

Despite this, I still think the Wii U was the perfect platform for this game and we had a blast playing it together. One thing I've been thinking about is how cool it would be to see a Scribblenauts game that incorporates a story element into the mix. Maybe using technology like chatbots to generate unique narratives. That would definitely add a new layer to the experience and make it even more immersive.

All in all, I'd definitely recommend giving Scribblenauts Unlimited a shot, especially if you're looking for a fun, partner-friendly game that’s low stakes and cute. Just be prepared for some repetition in the puzzles.

Scribblenauts is one of the few franchises that still makes me feel like a kid when I play it.
