A textbook pick-up-and-play title for couch gameplay, Scribblenauts hits that craving for relaxation just right. It has plenty of worlds and missions to keep you busy for a good while when you’re not testing the limits of your creativity.
By and far the greatest appeal of Scribblenauts is the ability to conjure up a plethora of items, people, and adjective modifiers for all things interactable. While it’s clear some corners have been cut here and there, it’s truly impressive how thorough the developers are in allowing for a good amount of freedom. It’s not the most fleshed out system, but it can be fun to tinker around with. The only thing I’ll harp on is the sometimes fickle strictness some missions have on what counts as correct. Part of the fun is finding the out-of-the-box solutions, but I suppose you can’t prepare for EVERY possibility.
