Defunct Games reviews ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove by Humanature Studios, available March 1 on PlayStation 4, Switch, Xbox One, PC, Mac and Linux.

I always got the impression that Sega didn't know what to do with ToeJam & Earl. The funky duo originally debuted as an overhead scavenger hunt on the Genesis, which led to a side-scrolling sequel and a 3D platformer. Now they're back to their old ways in ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove, a reboot of sorts that draws heavy inspiration from the 1991 original. It's another adventure that sees the galaxy's hippest aliens doing their best to avoid Earth's nuttiest inhabitants. Do ToeJam and Earl have what it takes to get their groove back, or has the extended hiatus made them lose their funk? Let's find out.
