If your an old boy (or girl) like myself, you are going to be absolutely blown away by this absolute masterpiece. Yes the story premise is utterly lifted from bicentennial man, but the likes of Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams would be proud of this game as there is enough spin on the story to make the game its own entity. The music, the gameplay mechanics, the smoothness of the game running on switch, the level design, the genius humour and the delivery from the voice acting.. its pure and utter genius. It made me actually laugh out loud at the writrin and tear in my eye for the human moments. If your an old school gamer this is a masterpiece, for all other gamers, it's still a great game but you might not get all the references.
   
   Total bargain even at the full price.… Expand

   Solid platforming. Wasn’t sure from the trailer if it was gonna feel a bit slow compared to the masocore games I’ve been playing lately, butSolid platforming.

The cut scenes were funny too.… Expand

   The gameplay is a platformer where the "gimmick" is that the robot can walk along the walls and ceiling. When oriented on a wall, for example, gravity will act toward the wall. At first this is quite disorienting but you get used to it. It makes for some interesting level design, with the designers using the orientation to great effect. It's similar to Super Mario galaxy in terms of gravity shifting, but plays quite differently because gravity tends to act at 90 degree increments.
   
   I found the story very heartwarming. The robot protagonist is almost child-like. The robot will not quite understand the adult things happening around him. The story is very British and I chuckled a number of times at the humour. The "voice acting" is all narrated by the robot with a varying pitch English robot voice. The supporting characters were all quite different and memorable. I really enjoyed the ending, it was a great wrap up to the story.
   
   The game was quite expansive. It is a Metroidvania game (with addition abilities and backtracking), linear in story (divided into chapters).… Expand

   Got it when it was on sale for about $2. 10/10 rating at that price. Remarkable storyline and addicting gameplay.

   I didn't bother with this game when it first came out as it seemed too expensive for yet another 8 bit platformer.

   Picked it up on sale and have to say I would have been happy paying the full price for it. The story is captivating and the platforming, while difficult, let's you straight back into the action without losing progress.
   
   I still haven't fully completed it but like it so much I have put more hours into it than many of my full price games.… Expand

   Absurdamente difícil. No se merece las críticas positivas que tiene. No mencionan la dificultad que tiene y que no se puede modificar. ElAbsurdamente difícil. No se merece las críticas positivas que tiene. No mencionan la dificultad que tiene y que no se puede modificar. El único truco es dejarte matar hasta que te dan 2 escudos, con lo que llevo 1300 muertes para ir siempre con 2 escudos en cada pantalla imposible. Es un juego que no pillaría ni regalado y eso que pagué 1€ y ya me parece un timo. Control con la gravedad un poco deficiente al girar en esquinas. Quiero pasármelo y eliminarlo para siempre. Los que valoran juegos no se qué nivel tienen para no tener los problemas de la gente normal y no me considero un manco no. Lo que influye es que no me divierte perder el tiempo con estos juegos.… Expand
