Tamarin

this may be 30 dollars but you cannot but a price on fun! <3

Ignore this game. 1. Despite its looks, this is NOT a cozy game. This is a shooter. 2. This is not a good shooter - it's a shooter with no proper mouse aiming. 3. Time between checkpoints is far too big to even bother "learning" the game. You can't even save scum through it, you have do "endure" it. I have already something to endure - job, and I'm paid for it, not paid to do it.

I went into this game with a somewhat skeptical perspective, to be completely honest. I was prepared to pay full price for the game. "Jet Force Gemini- Tribals Revenge" is a fair nickname for the game. Tamarin is less hopeless than the tribal NPCs in the original game. While stylistically this game has been heavily nerfed, its art direction is cohesive. The music is inspirational and has a familiar feel. The writing suffers from the world-nerfing and cuteness factor that was imposed insistingly. The values of Chameleon Games are truly represented in the game design, to a fault. In my opinion it takes away from the finesse of Tamarin. While Jet Force Gemini was a 4 protagonist game in the Nintendo 64 era, lending to a different era and overall vibe, the resources have been preserved in the conveyance of this title. A successful upscaling of JFG assets here is clear. The presentation of the game is actually decent for an independent studio. HOWEVER the opportunity to make a name to be taken seriously even in conversation has been lost to an embarrassing degree with Tamarin. The commitment followed to complete the vision is obvious, with enemies being active and "intelligence" relativ…

Play at a discount. Your ability to enjoy this depends greatly on what you want to find here. If you're looking for a Rareware tier action platformer full of wit and personality, it's not that. However, if you're hungry for some oldschool 3D adventure game even in an unrefined and low budget fashion straight from the year 2000.... I think Tamarin it's a good time and has a lot of heart. Levels kinda blend visually because of the lack of unique visual landmarks, you're left to wander without much indication on where to go, and level design is generally overly spatious. That being said, because of how big, interconected and layered levels are, exploration is pretty fun. Not having much indicators of where to go means it does feel very adventurous in an untammed kinda way, a lot of adventure games kinda miss the point that part of the adventure is figuring out things for yourself so I do appreciate that it's like that. The duality of the platforming style with the shooting sections makes it so just about when a level has ran its course, gameplay changes so the experience stays fresh. And while the shooting is pretty simple, it is charming in its own way, it feels like I'm playing a …
