While it is quite repetitive in nature and with little to no challenge, we can't overlook the fact that this game was created for very young gamers. In this regard Paw Patrol: On A Roll! is almost perfectly crafted.
A safe kids licence that will be sure to delight the younger members of your household. Platforming by numbers otherwise. Add a point to our score if they're already a fan.
* Game aimed at young kids... which hould be obvious... but... *
I'm a 40 years old gamer with 2 kids. 3 and 4 years old.
With today video games, "introducing" kids to video games "properly" is a big challenge for me.
I don't want to just throw them on Fortnite and such...
At that age, Super Mario World was too challenging and hard to understand. They also lost interrest in other kid games very quickly.
But this one is perfect.
Instructions are CLEAR and frequent. Given by the human kids from the serie. "Rider" I think... ?
Controls are SIMPLE : Move + Jump
Challenges are EASY. Stuff like alligning properly, and jump... and it is pretty forgiving.
The game forgives a lot : huge "hit-box" to collect items.
PLENTY of Paw Patrol exposition : plenty puppies and their gadgets. If kid is a fan, it helps keep the interrest.
It's a good first video game to help them get their hands and fingers in sync with a TV. Get some basic video-gaming reflexes. Solve some small problems.
My two kids -specially my 4 years old- really got into it and he is MUCH better at this game than any other. Showing that, clearly, his brain is able to follow what's going on.
10/10 --- for young kids, obviously
Paw Patrol: On a Roll!
Not so pawsome
Paw Patrol on a Roll is a 3 and a half hour long 2d platformer where you play as every character of the paw patrol...
There are 16 missions and sadly no platinum trophy. .but there are plenty of collectables in the form of pup treats and golden paw prints for you to collect...
The game is obviously directed towards young children, this is very much designed to be a first gaming experience…
Start to finish feels like a tutorial mode… there’s constantly this boy that pops up on the screen walking you through each levels.. you get to an area he tells you how to pull the rope for example or you need to use an ability, press this button, or you need the help of another paw patrol member, press this button..
Extremely accessible, and even the menus are described to you so you’re able to do your thing even if you can’t read…
I found this game to be a pretty okay game overall at first…
Again super accessible, you have your moments of exploring to find the collectable before you do a simple puzzle… you’re playing as 3 different paw patrol characters in ever mission to rescue a different animal… it’s a decent variety…
As someone that’s played a billion video games I obviously found the boy popping up telling me what to do constantly to be a little annoying... and I can imagine parents will get annoyed with it too…
he pops up frequently… and never really has that much different to say.. As this game is just a tad bit too repetitive...
every mission feels a little too samey…
no fresh ideas as the game goes on, except for of course during the moments you have to use a certain members special ability.. This is all the changes… but the level design feels so copy and paste….
and having a game aimed at a younger demographic isn’t an excuse to get lazy with level design…
Things can be simple and different…
Sadly though this game won’t keep your kid entertained for that long... especially thanks to the lazy level design…
There are no memorable moments your child will want to replay and relive... and there’s no real story here so it’s not like them watching their favorite movie over and over again either…
Paw Patrol On a Roll isn’t bad…
It’s a nice introduction to the world of games that I feel really anyone any age that at least knows their shapes can get through…
I give Paw Patrol On a Roll!
A 5.5/10
