Pumpkin Jack is a game which does a lot of things competently but fails to excel in any of them. It's the epitome of a PlayStation 2 era platformer, complete with all the dust and jank that brings along. The game is repetitive, has some boring minigames, same-y weapons, and floaty platforming. It does have some good style choices and it's also a pretty game, but beyond that it's a basic platformer. If that's what you're in the mood for, you can't really go wrong, but I didn't find any depth beyond that.
