While many veteran gamers were looking forward to this as it had all of the makings of a sequel to the arcade classic Turtles in Time, for me it would be one of my first times around with the Ninja Turtles. As a very casual fan of this franchise, I knew the characters but definitely wasn't going to catch every reference.

Shredder's Revenge is a fast-paced and colorful beat-em-up that's full of personality and fun from beginning to end. I had a blast switching between the characters and mashing combos to take down my foes. The game boasts an impressive co-op suite and could prove immense fun with friends who have GamePass.

I really appreciated how Shredder's Revenge doesn't at all overstays its welcome and each stage offers up something new. Not once did I feel like the experience was bogged down by too many levels and it was just a joyous experience to blast through this one with the turtles.
