LumbearJack - Fine, But Forgettable. 5/10 Lumberjack is a very short little adventure game, where you smash up machinery as a brown bear. Its message is clearly not trying to be subtle in the slightest, that being: Industry bad, Nature good. With that in mind, it feels as if the game was made more to push this ideal into your face than anything else. Luckily, the gameplay is alright. Smashing things up with your axe …

Mr Lumbear (or Jack to his friends) was rudely awakened by his woodpecker friend with the dreadful news that a pollution guzzling corporation called Evil Works were setting up base in his forest. Armed with his trusty axe, Jack sets out on a mission to foil their plans in destroying the homes of his friends. Thus begins a very satisfying game of sabotage and destruction by Jack as he swings his axe at signs, cranes, …

A charming and concise game perfect for the Steam Deck! Its simple mechanics - destroy, recycle, and restore green spaces - make for a relaxing and rewarding experience. The cute art style and brief cutscenes add charm, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults. A great pick, especially at its current low price!

A charming little game about destroying capitalism and restoring nature. It's silly, it's cathartic, it's good for the soul. (The easter egg shout out characters caught me by surprise! I've found 3 of them and expected none of them. There's probably more references I didn't recognize!) Definitely recommend, especially if you're stuck in a situation like those poor grey folks. If only a bear could solve our problems …

Cute game but with no challenge and little content. I really liked Lumbearjack, it's cute, has a nice idea, gameplay is simple. Sadly, a bit too simple for my taste because all you really do is hit stuff. There are a few "use a golf club to hit a bomb towards things" moments that are a bit more creative but even those don't really pull you in. I imagine that this would be a cute game for a child just getting into …

You play as an eco warrior bear chopping up evil corporation machinery that is damaging the environment while bitch slapping the corporate greed out of every human you come across... It's fun!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You play an ax wielding eco-terrorist on a crusade against capitalism. Along the way you unite the proletariat, reclaim your homeland, and topple the oppressive system one slap at a time. Come for the revolution, stay for the micro-cameos of 90's film characters.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →3/10 Pro tip: If you play the first level again, it will reset every level you have beaten after that. A great opportunity to play again all those levels with zero replayability.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a nice little game, a bit repetitive right when it ends. Mechanics are pretty simple you chop smaller stuff to get scrap and improve your axe so you can chop down bigger stuff, slap each grey human as extra and trigger the bear trap in each level and the most difficult part will be the achievements for doing some stages in certain hits or moves. Took me around 2-3h if you are searching for a chill little game or a game for the kids this one might be worth getting it on a bundle or a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple and satisfying. Love the subversion that you are chopping down all the stupid useless human stuff and leaving the forest up. Super cute. Great for jumping in for a level every once in a while.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a cute and quick little game for when you don't want to think too hard or do too much. I liked the story line and simple game play. However, I did encounter a glitch during the final boss meaning I had to restart the level. I also wish there was a small tutorial at the beginning. Although I could work out what I was meant to do eventually it did leave me feeling lost initially.

neutral · AI labelView post →It's not a bad game. It teaches an important lesson with violence everything is achieved. There are several bugs and at times it is quite repetitive. There are no big chances of replaying the achievements are passed almost with the first game or if you replay a level. The game is pretty straightforward. With a big discount, preferably, it is not very long.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short, sweet & adorable. Who among us has not wanted to crush evil corporations and slap some sense into the mindless minions that work for them? Now you can. Enjoy!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't say I'm too sure about LumbearJack. Maybe it's because I'm probably not a member of its intended playerbase, but I just found it a bit too plain and inoffensive. Perhaps the game about a bear liberating the wilderness from polluters with their big axe would be a nice game for a younger kid or someone looking for a way to spend a few hours, but its short length makes LumbearJack difficult to recommend for the off-sale price point.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →However, the game calls him a bear. (The minigame is LumBEARjack and his name is Woodcutter Bear.) Seeing as we established that's not literally his species, we must conclude that it's instead referring to him being a big strong hairy gay man. Him being surrounded by gay cats supports this theory.
neutral · AI labelView post →This game reminds me of Alba. The game is completely different but the vibes are the same. Clean the world (polluted by the evil humankind - “evil works” in the game) and help your friend. It’s playable on Steam Deck. If I have to say one con I would say it’s not easy to be accurate to hit the targets. Recommended! 8/10

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While fun to a point, it's kind of Captain Planet the game. Destroy evil corpo and slap the evil humans until they become Portlanders. I can't say it's worth the price, it's a very short game, roughly an hour and change. The gameplay loop is fun, with some mixing up, but got very stale near the end. The gameplay is the best part of the game, destroy things to unlock more to destroy with. I think they honestly did a whole lot with very little here, and it reminded me of Katamari, which is a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is super cute and cosy. i really love the art/graphic style, i don't know what it's called but the bear is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cute with his little jiggly nose. i just wished there were more levels. definitely a great casual/chill game for steam deck.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's easy to pick up and play, simple to understand, adorable, fun, and knows when to end without artificially stretching its playtime. Also, there aren't many games where instead of harvesting resources to construct buildings, instead you demolish buildings to restore the natural state! Every "mission" has the same general structure. One of your animal friends is in trouble! So you walk around, break things with your trusty axe, collect the garbage into your recycling backpack, slap sad…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Leaves a ton to be desired. Very short and nothing too clever about it. Also the achievements are just so so frustrating that it's not even worth pursuing them
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lumbearjack is an adorable light puzzle game where you play as a bear being a nuisance to the humans destroying the environment. The art and sound design are all very cute, and the levels are unique and fun enough to keep me entertained for a couple hours. It's an easy game, and the bouncy animations make it a delight to play through. This seems like it would be perfect for young players especially since the mechanics are easy to pick up and there's instant gratification in righteous…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was part of a bundle, I decided to just dive into a random game from the bundle and this was it... Kinda dull, some cute animations, not bothered by the graphics, they work fine. Gameplay is a little too simple, not challenge at all. A little more to the puzzles would be nice and some early levels didn't even have a puzzle. It's fine for a couple hours experience, took me a little longer than the average because I had to go back and redo some levels for the completion. As dull as it is I'll…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great steam deck game, works perfect despite the unknown compatibility rating. The story is pretty much non existent, just a bear tearing down an evil industry and there’s no dialogue you have to plough through so you can turn your brain off and just mindlessly play Fun gameplay but nothing revolutionary, lasts around 2 hours so i would definitely pick the game up only on a sale. Achievements are pretty fun to get too if you want an easy game to 100%. Also slapping humans is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Eco-Terrorism: the game" But really, mindless gameplay, found myself satisfied by slapping sense into people, and there's something quaint about a Bear dressed up as a chef coming at you with a giant axe.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A surprisingly fun game and 100% completeable in about 2 hours! I highly recommend this if you're into casual games with a cute art style, some mild humor and wonky controls (don't worry, you'll quickly get used to them, but they're a little frustrating at the "golf/tennis" levels). I have no complaints other than the music sometimes (or always?) stops once you complete the main objective of the level, so if you still have some clean up left to do, there will be no music playing until you get…

Destroying things was surprisingly satisfying, the puzzles were easy enough to stay relaxing, and overall it just felt fun to play. I also really liked the achievement designs, which is a small thing, but it added to the experience for me. The game is pretty short though — it can easily be finished in under three hours. Because of that, I don’t think it’s worth the full $13 price tag. Personally, I think…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A simple and fun game. I get this at first just because I love bears. My little sibling love this too and play it a few times. Could be a bit educational too for little kids.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very charmingly dumb little game with fun animal characters where you demolish your way through human creations as an axe-wielding bear to restore the sanctity of the forest. Definitely one for picking up during a sale, but doesn't overstay it's time and has a satisfying gameplay loop.

Armed with your axe and with the help of your friends, you fight against Evil Works to save nature from being destroyed by them. The game is pretty short and simple but I had fun with it. It consists of 20 levels in which you save your animal friends from problems by chopping trash away, throwing bombs, moving things around and slapping humans. Also loved the easter eggs among the humans.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finished at ~98% in 3.8 hours according to Steam (including a bit of idle time on the Steam Deck). I'm really glad I finally picked up this little game I first spotted during the Wholesome Direct back in 2022, especially for the price I got it at (€3.83). It turned out to be much richer than I expected, even though I knew it’d be short. That’s why I feel like I got my money’s worth — definitely wouldn’t say the same if I had paid full price. It’s a level-based, cute (but not overly “kawaii”…

The achievements are pretty easy to get too. I’d recommend on sale because it’s so short, but it’s worth getting.

The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race, but it brought a whole another level of disasters to other animals, and they had enough. Not a whole lot going on in this game, destroy the evil manmade objects, upgrade your weapon when your trash sack is full, slap the heck out of people to force them change careers. Enjoyment of this game comes from breaking things and changing the appearance of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall: 7.5/10 LumbearJack is an interesting experience. A game tackling the subject of civilisation ruining nature, presented in the form of a cozy game about a bear chopping construction vehicles in half with comically oversized axes. You solve relatively simple puzzles, smack the evil humans in the face, chop everything man-made into pieces and save the forest. A relatively short game (I 100%'d it without a guide in just over 5 hours), its not groundbreaking but is enjoyable nonetheless.…
