This game was so fun and beautifully made. The theme is so unique and refreshing , the animations feel pretty smooth besides a few boss-fights where it got a little choppy, the levels were all diverse and fun to play. This game was pleasantly surprising for me. Only downside is that... for the price, the game can be beaten in under 5 hours on your first playthrough.

Anyone who has worked in a corporate office environment will find The Company Man to have humorous and clever commentary in its character, enemy, and level design.

Unfortunately the game is just not very well made in other regards. Animations are choppy and feel like they're missing frames, controls are clunky, movement is weird with an extremely quick fall speed, boss attack patterns are bland, and some enemies attack too quickly to allow you to get in and attack back without getting hit.

This game had a lot of potential with it's clever setting and light exploration platforming, but it falls flat.
