Review: Furwind (PlayStation 4, Switch, Xbox One & Vita) - Defunct Games
94Defunct Games reviews Furwind by Boomfire Games, available June 27 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch and PS Vita. (Also available on PC.)
A throwback to the early 1990s, Furwind feels like a 16-bit mascot game that was lost to time. This is a solid side-scrolling platformer with a likable hero and a bunch of colorful stages to conquer. It's a game that looks and feels the part, but is marred by laggy gameplay issues and abilities that are completely inconsequential to the action. Furwind is also repetitive and often frustrating, leading to a throwback game that tries really hard, but never quite manages to equal the 16-bit games it's trying to emulate.
