I enjoyed this game! Although the game play is bland at times, it's still an intriguing, fun game, I especially love the color spirits personality, story and art style. Has some replay value if you're interested in concept art rewards, like me. Hopefully this company will continue the franchise and I'll definitely be looking into it if they do!
7.5/10
Now, if you're an adult you have to go into this game realizing that you are basically getting a kids game with some adult themes. It looks, feels and plays like a kids game. You're not getting really complicated gameplay here, but even as a guy who is almost 30 I enjoyed it.
The graphics aren't incredible, but they're decent and the art design is pretty inspired. It's a colourful world (duh) with an interesting style. The world is vibrant and alive, and the kiddy look actually helps create an intriguing world populated by weird looking beings.
The gameplay is overly simplistic, and I'm knocking it down a bit for that. Namely, the platforming just requires you to hold down space and guide your guy in the right direction. This isn't really forgivable in a platformer, because even kids could handle more precision-based platforming (seriously, we've had that since Mario). The combat is also incredibly easy, with very little variety present... though I'm more forgiving of that due to the fact kids don't need complicated battles. It's a throwback to games like Crash Bandicoot where there was melee combat but it was pretty straight forward.
The story is actually …

The story is actually pretty cool. It's got a dystopian feel where people are segregated because of their colours. It's basically Dystopia 101, but for a kids game, or at least a game that is very family/kid friend? It's deep.
I noticed some bugs in it, like characters that are following me getting me stuck so I can't move.
But really, this is a pretty solid game.
Finally beat "Last Tinker" and boy howdy was it a good time. Nothing super amazing or whatever but just a very solid cute game that was reminiscent of stuff I played as a kid. Really enjoyed myself in the ten hours I played it.
Very cute and easily playable, THE LAST TINKER definitely hits in the nostalgia ballpark they used to sell the game with. I understand the backlash of them selling it as a platformer and then it being about as much of a platformer as Assassins Creed is, but I don't think it warrants the vitriol it's gained because of that. That's lunacy. It's still very solid and enjoyable.
