Tinykin is a FANTASTIC platformer! Tinykin is collectathon at heart that immerses you with its gorgeous art style, environments, and engaging gameplay.
The premise of Tinykin is that you, the player are Milo, a tiny space man who has crash landed inside someones house on Earth. Think “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.” Everything inside the house is “normal” size but you, the player as Milo are the size of a bug.
The players goal is to travel throughout the house looking for components to rebuild Milo’s spaceship. As the player travels through each room they will come across various items to collect and a small cast of unique but fun characters.
What takes this game to another level is the “Tinykin.” A small creature that once you free them from their eggs will follow you around and assist you in various ways. Some Tinykin will lift heavy objects for you, some will create platforms, some will conduct electricity and others will stack and allow you to use them as a ladder to reach high out of reach locations. It elevates the gameplay and is one of the most creative things I’ve experienced in a game in years.
The fun gameplay, and mystery surrounding the house immersed me from the very first cut scene. This game is one of the best games I’ve played this year. A must play game if you enjoy platformers.
Pros:
The art style
Gameplay (specifically the story)
Music, and sound design
Cons:
Length of the game. (I was left wanting more because it was incredibly fun which I guess isn’t really a con? It didn’t overstay its welcome)
Played on: Xbox Series X via Xbox Game Pass
Review score: 4.5/5
