This game is BAD! It's profoundly overpriced and feels like a mobile game turned cash grab. I normally tend to do 3 pros and 3 cons but can not in good conscience provide any form of positive note for this game.

I can't comment on the length as I haven't finished it yet, but I'm 1.2 hours in so far and it doesn't look like I have much playtime left. - When you jump, you can't continue walking straight away. The landing animation seems to be forced so you have to wait a brief second before you can continue walking. It's hard to explain, but it's super annoying. - You can't just press A to skip dialogue and read it yourself, …

I understand this game is probably for kids but a Christmas lover like myself couldn't resist. I'm barely an hour in and I'm halfway through the game already. If you don't mind short games than this is perfect. Personally I enjoy the game but probably would not have paid $40 for it had I known how fast I would be going through the content.

The Grinch: Christmas Adventures is a cozy, storybook-inspired platformer that transforms a timeless holiday tale into a gentle, family-friendly interactive experience. Developed by Casual Brothers Ltd. and published by Outright Games Ltd., the game places players in control of the famously grumpy Grinch as he embarks on his mischievous mission through Whoville and the surrounding snowy landscapes. Rather than …

This is a really fun, family friendly game, and is solid. I seriously don't understand why it wasn't given more hype when it released October, 2023. In fact, I didn't hear anything about it at all, and happened to stumble across a single streamer showcasing it. It is easy to navigate, the colors are vibrant, the story is rich (I mean, who doesn't know the Grinch story?) and the secret areas are plentiful. How could …

57% of the 49 Steam reviewers we collected recommend The Grinch: Christmas Adventures. The complaint that keeps coming up: very short gameplay. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Grinch (2000, PS1) is another game with some visible vertex colors. This is with higher internal res, of course (as in the original low-res+dithering makes it a lot less obvious). I hope compression doesn't muddy it too much. Between the vertex-color skyboxes and LoD\* (and Universal Interactive) there is overlap here with Spyro. Differing though it doesn't use the extra-loops trick for hard(-ish) edges, instead its skyboxes use multiple\*\* meshes (such as the dump, lake, and power…

It's a broad field!

Total and complete waste of money IMO. Completed the game start to finish in a few hours... total disappointment, would be a great free game, terrible reboot. Save your money.

That said, The Grinch game is surprisingly good, and the Sylvester/Tweety game is a Solstice game, which was unexpected.

I do absolutely recommend this game to anyone that avidly loves Christmas, the Grinch, or just winter in general. The movement is a little bit wacky but you get used to it. I do not regret this purchase at all. I am about half way through the game but i'm gonna replay this a LOT. This game is a lot of fun and i can guarantee a few laughs here whether it be…

The Grinch: Christmas Adventure is a game that will alter the way you view Christmas. Soon, you will understand and relate to the main character The Grinch in ways you have never done before. It made me feel so seen in this world of Christmas lovers. Finally, someone who understands that Christmas is just an excuse to be kind to one another. We should always…

They are not visually pleasing. 2. They are overpriced. 3. They are very short. These production companies that contract titles usually dodge scrutiny by having their borrowed Intellectual Property be for literal 5-year-olds who would clap at colourful paint drying. But, since The Grinch is so universally loved, many different demographics will grab this game…

The only Grinch game I grew up with before this was the one on Ps1 and Dreamcast based on the Carrey movie (which gets way too much hate). I like the art style of this game. Closer to the book for sure where as the older game looked like it wanted to be a mishmash of the book and the movie which came off weird looking. The gameplay itself is fine. It doesn't really do anything too new that we haven't seen in any other games. The…

We are both fans of the Grinch and the game.........is just ok. It's clearly made for little kids ( I would guess 5 to 10) a basic platformer that was never too hard or frustrating with plenty of save spots. The art style reminds me of a marriage between the Boris Karloff version and the Illumination Version of the Grinch Sound design is good with whimsical…

neutral · AI labelView post →This is probably one of the worst platformers I've ever played to completion. The controls are wonky in a way I haven't felt from a 2D platformer since the '90s. You have limited midair control and can only grab onto the edge of certain platforms. Most of your abilities (jetpack, snowball) have significant startup time. Hiding in cupboards/under tables plays canned animations which often last for several seconds, which leads to my next issue... This game has over FIFTY stealth…
