    The carefully crafted setting, the intertwining of ingenious puzzles with a portly, gluttonous protagonist, makes this a terrific game that I wholeheartedly recommend you play immediately. [Grade = A+]
  2. 100
    Like the very best puzzle games, this one gets in your head and refuses to leave.
  3. Whilst the Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom may not be everyone's cup of tea it is a quirky and whimsical jaunt through the mind of a man addicted to pies and probably well worth a look for anyone wanting a change from the endless FPS cavalcade.

  1. The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom is one of the most interesting arcade games I have ever played, it's score, storyline, grainy animation, and comical poetry make this game so satisfying. It is very artistic and enjoyable. This is one Platform Puzzle game you have to play. If the pies don't make you salivate the gameplay will everything about this game is original and fun. One of my favorite arcade games I have played, and I have played a lot. You will get so much more out of this game than the money you put into it. Expand

  2. The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom is certainly an unique game, but the mechanics of the game are far too simple to compare to classics such as Braid. If Winterbottom is purely seen from an independent developer standpoint, then yes, it is a highly innovative game considering its low budget. But from a consumer viewpoint, the game is more average than fun. While the mechanics of having clones and controlling time is fun, it is not done so in a clever way. The drawings are very simple, and the missions are much too tedious. The backgrounds are dull and repetitive, it becomes monotonous after the first world. Winterbottom is fun for a couple minutes, but its dullness and monotony overcomes that entertainment. But in a developer standpoint, Winterbottom is an achievement for Indie companies, but that does not cut it in the mainstream audience. Expand

  3. Though I really enjoyed the art and goofy poetry, there was not enough story to hold my attention, and the puzzles became too frustrating as they became based on crackshot timing. It was worth playing for a little while, but ultimately I didn't see the reward in persevering. 5 for great look, but gameplay appealing only for someone that's more of a hardcore twitch platform fan.
