The Last Tinker Review

Hearkening back to the classic days of Banjo-Kazooie, Jak & Daxter and Psychonauts, The Last Tinker: City of Color is a bright and breezy adventure platformer that offers a pretty lightweight fable wrapped in a vibrant and entertaining world.

At six hours The Last Tinker isn’t the most complex or deep action platformer you’ll ever play but that’s ok – it doesn’t set out to be that way. This is a gentle romp through a fantastically realised world. The art-style and characters make it a special experience and even though the final few levels are a bit of a let-down with their formulaic design, The Last Tinker is worth picking up just to drink in its handcrafted visuals and feel-good vibe – when was the last time someone said that about a videogame?

Synopsis
