As far as this type of game goes it seems just standard. The upgrades were just standard upgrades. The gameplay seemed to be just a standard map where you are limited access until you find certain upgrades to progress to a previously unreachable area. Did not really find anything new. I always like to see something fun and innovative, this leaves me feeling like a missed something because this type of game has been made so many times. It was more frustrating than fun in the end. It is one thing to make things difficult and it is another thing to make it a battle of attrition where you just load again and again. So for me it was a clean well made game that was not innovative and as a result was not fun due to me having played almost identical games again and again. Good starting point to progress your games to another level and there are definitely far worse games out there.
Reviews for "Robot Phone Home"
What an absolute shame. This was a great series of games. So why ruin it by adding the most annoying and overused ridiculously unrelaistic move in games today..the wall jump. Note to game desgined...ENOUG ALREADY. It was sort of a cool idea OVER A DECADE AGO. (actually...not really, it was always stupid forthe sheer asburdity of the notion that you can climb a wall like that.)But now, it is just a dumb way to add difficulty. MAYBE you can add it for a few levels. But when you make pretty much every level be wall jumping in between spikes, it jsut makes the game annoying and not worth playing. I would have thought the "Robot" games were above that sort of thing. The one star is solely for the fact that I went back and played some of the older games of the series.
Astonishing! You know, it kinda reminds me of Odd World...
I became so frustrated in the spike room after acquiring the jet-pack, that I gave up. would have appreciated more checkpoints.
Too hard for me xD I feel so pathetic, however the game is incredible although I couldn´t finish it.
