Tinykin Review | Xbox Game Pass
11Review of Tinykin, a game that I don't think sucks, and recently left Xbox Game Pass (so it will probably return given how things work over there).
Tinykin is a puzzle-platform video game developed by Splashteam and published by tinyBuild. It was released on August 30, 2022, for Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch. The game follows Milodane, an archeologist who explores a mysterious planet and uncovers humanity's origins. During his journey, he encounters Tinykin, tiny critters with unique abilities that help him reach places and complete his objectives.
Development initially began in 2017. Director Romain Claude developed it as Bubble Town for the Global Game Jam 2019. The project came from a jam theme "What home means to you". Claude, alongside his team, became interested in the project and decided to develop it further. The game was inspired by the Pikmin and Paper Mario series. The game received favorable reviews. It received an honorable mention for several awards at the Independent Games Festival.
