When you grow up playing games such as Spyro, Crash, Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank, sometimes you just long for a trip down memory lane and to just play a game that reminds you of that innocent era of gaming. For me, The Last Tinker fulfilled that need perfectly.This game just oozes charm and humour, and is in very much the same vein as games like Banjo-Kazooie and Jak & Daxter. The story is simple enough but carries a very good message. It is kid friendly, but never patronises the player by being too easy.The game is very, VERY colourful and has an "arts and crafts" feel to it, slightly similar to games like Tearaway.the landscape and objects in the game all look like they were crafted with cardboard and paper mache and then coated liberally in poster paints. Even the character's speech bubbles are made of cardboard. Speaking of which, the characters are all very likeable in this game. Dialogue is full of wit and charm yet never gets cutesy or patronising. Your Character-Koru- is a silent protagonist but he is joined by his sidekick Tap, an adorable, yet sometimes slightly snarky floating multicoloured....sheep...thing..........yeaaaah! You then have the mushroom guy Biggs who, along with his alter-ego Bomber, are central to figuring out many of the puzzles.The gameplay is pretty solid- full of the sort of puzzles you'd expect in a platformer, which range from musical mushrooms to solving a crime scene. One thing to note is that this game does not have a jump button- most platforming actions such as jumping and climbing are performed by holding down the R2 button. While this does take a bit of getting used to, it fits the gameplay quite well. The other main aspect of the game is combat, and this could take some getting used to. It took me a while to get to grips with the dodging, and sometimes when fighting multiple enemies Koru will accidentally target the wrong enemy during a combo, but as the game goes on you will unlock new abilities and buy upgrades that will make combat more varied and fun. Also, this game is very good at ensuring that you're not stuck by not knowing where your next objective is- just press the down button, and Tap will whizz off ahead of you in the direction you need to go, leaving a stream of colourful confetti in his wake.Other than the gems that are used as currency, there aren't that many collectables in this game- there are some gold floating paintbrushes hidden throughout the game that will unlock cheats and concept art though, but they're not too much of a challenge to find. Once I made a point of looking for them, I found them without too much trouble- though they do provide an incentive to explore every nook and cranny. Also, thanks to the difficulty setting, you can tailor the game to be harder or easier if you wish- ranging from the "Kid mode" to the decidedly less lenient "Instant Death" mode, which will cause you to lose a life if you take so much as one hit.Overall, is this game groundbreaking and innovative? No. Is it charming and entertaining? Definitely. Is it worth playing? Absolutely!I've always thought that just because a game doesn't bring any new elements doesn't mean it can't be good. As I originally stated, this game perfectly captures the mood of playing those good old platformers that I grew up with. It's not overly difficult- I completed it in a relatively short amount of time without much difficulty yet I found it a joy to play from from start to finish.This game is perfect for kids, or for those young at heart who want to relive those experiences given from those Spyro/Banjo Kazooie/Jak & Daxter type games again.

The last Tinker is a lovely game visually and in its game play, there are interesting puzzles to solve which make the otherwise straight forward levels quite challenging. For example there is a section where you have to activate musical mushrooms in the correct sequence to open a gate, I confess that as I have no ear for music whatsoever I was forced to refer to a YouTube video to solve this. most of the other puzzles so far have been logical but sometimes you have to have very exact timing or placement to get them to work.There are some downsides to the game:There is no jump button, you have to hold down one of the buttons in order to get Monkey boy (sorry I can't remember his name) to jump,when you are used to pressing X repeatedly at just the right time this does take a bit of getting used to.The appearance of the game, plus the fact it has a "Kid Mode" seem to indicate that it is aimed at children, however I think younger kids would struggle with some of the puzzle elements.I can't see any point to collecting the hidden paint brushes, as far as I can see all they do is give you access to some rather boring concept art. The gems are a different matter as they give you access to better combat abilities so definitely worth collecting.The voices in this game are dire, one of the characters mews like a poor impression of a cat, but it sets my dog off barking every time! The YouTuber whose video I watched was playing with the sound turned off and voicing the characters himself, even his amateur efforts sounded much better. It is as if they ran out of money in the budget to pay decent voice actors so just asked the development team to make a series of strange noises instead.Sorry to list so many negatives it makes the game sound dreadful which it really isnt, it's fun with an original colourful landscape and some really clever puzzles to solve. It could have been great but due to the negatives is simply a good game.

Very bright and colourful game. Simple platformer, and has good story that tries to give younger players something to think about. Downside is there is no platinum trophy and some segments can feel a little unpolished but worth playing.
