Shame on you guys for not supporting this game. In such an oversaturated market riddled with brainless shooters Puppeteer manages to present something unique never before seen in videogames. Not gameplay wise, which is serviceable here, but in presentation. The fact the game is played like a puppet show with reactions from the public, scenery made of carboard box (in the same vein as LBP but more charming imo), and several other details that made it beautifully crafted, made me realise the unrealised potential videogames have as a medium only because people keep supporting the same shit over and over again. I am somewhat in a fase were gaming is starting to become tedious and then I couldnt put Puppeteer down cause it felt fresh.

Seriously guys, give this game a chance if you're tired of the same old shit. And even at a budget price of 39,99 I cant seriously grasp why people decided to pass this game down.

This thread will probably be locked because theres not much to discuss here but I just wanted to pass the torch cause I felt this game, above all, deserves it.

BUY IT AND SUPPORT THIS MASTERPIECE

Bought it awhile back but never quite resonated with its appeal. Well made and cleverly-designed but just not fun.

I heard great things about this game. At first, I thought this game was a little big planet spin-off. I'll try this game once sony releases Playstation Now for Playstation 4.

It's a breath of fresh air visually, but it's one note as a platformer, and it's a poor one at that.

It's a great tech showcase, and should be respected for a consistent aesthetic. As it not only delivers on said aesthetic visually, but also compliments it on the audio. The playing it part? thoroughly outclassed by middle of the road entries in it's genre. I prefer something fresher/unique most of the time, but the basic criteria of "the game better play well" still applies. Puppeteer just doesn't.

I'm glad to see that cows finally quit trying to parade LBP around as a top tier platformer, but holy shit man.

Last gen had some STRONG platformers. Puppeteer, while not a bad game, was pretty much bottom tier. Even the ultimately uninspired NSMB games took a shit on it. Factor in games like Super Meat Boy, the Galaxy games, DKCR, etc.. and the Puppeteer doesn't even register.

Superb artstyle and awesome voice acting. It really is a breath of fresh air. Definitely a must try for everybody.

That said, the gameplay is just ok. The gameplay mechanics are cool and level design is original but as a platformer.... well it doesn't feel like a platformer but more like a walkthrough an awesome world. The character mobility is sluggish tbh, close to LBP.

Yeah. I primarily game on Sony consoles (more PS3 than PS4 at the moment), but I'm jelly.

It's probably because the game release "late" in the PS3 life cycle and wasn't heavily promoted

It got a high score here. Worth checking out for sure.
That LBP charm is brilliant. Little Big Planet also won awards and was rated highly. A creative masterpiece.

But of course, it scored AAAE 9.0 Editors Choice Award winning game. Just another title in the already barn bursting amount of world class exclusives that SONY fans enjoy,

Bought it, played it, didn't think much of it. It really pales in comparison to its influences and contemporaries.
