Dinsun Review
I’m probably thirty years outside the target demographic here, but a good platformer is a good platformer regardless of the yellow sponge on the cover. Patty Pursuit 2 is... fine. It’s safe. The controls are responsive enough for a mobile title, and the art style perfectly captures the cartoon. But as a seasoned gamer, I find the level design repetitive. It’s a lot of 'hold right and jump occasionally.'
The guest character mechanics add a sliver of strategy, but it’s mostly window dressing. It’s the kind of game you give to a kid to keep them quiet for an hour. There’s nothing fundamentally broken here, but there’s also nothing that Rayman or Mario hasn't done better ten years ago. It’s a commercial product through and through.
