(Completed in TMNT Cowabunga Collection on PS5)
TMNT Turtles in time is a game which I have a complicated relationship with. There are some elements which I think are great such as the artstyle with it being very visually appealing, the use of iconic characters from the show rather than simply inventing new characters that other games based on licensed materials like to do and the fluent controls. However, I found this game so difficult for some reason and it just felt like a nightmare to complete and felt physically angry when I kept dying especially in the Jurassic era of the game which definitely impacted my enjoyment. Additionally, the gameplay felt very repetitive and monotonous which was problematic when going between the different sections of the game and when the game did try to spice it up and create original content; it felt worse than the main game such as the sewer portion. Overall, I think this game is a product of its time which was likely really good back in 1992 but has not aged the greatest.
