Fall of Porcupine - Video Game Review
1You play as Finley in Fall of Porcupine, and the gameplay is pretty simple. It’s a 2D side-scroller, so you’re either traversing one way or the other. You do have the ability to talk to different characters in the small town and the hospital, and it is in your best interest to do so, as this clues you in on what’s going on with them and in the small town of Porcupine.
Your work at the hospital is fun and engaging, and you are tasked with treating each of your patients to the best of your ability. They have different issues, and to solve these issues, you have to pass different mini-games. There are also different parts of the game that have mini-games in them as well, and while they do require your attention to get it right, they’re not difficult to master.
The art design is cute and appropriate for the feel that Fall of Porcupine is going for, and during my playthrough, I encountered no bugs or issues at all. The story is engrossing and makes you really feel as if the fate of Finley is in your hands, and for a smaller indie title it is quite a bit of fun – once you finally get to the hospital (because the walk from his place to Finley’s work is LONG).
On Steam and the Nintendo, Playstation, and Xbox storefronts Fall of Porcupine is $19.99 at the regular price, and is available right now.
Developed by Critical Rabbit and Published by Assemble Entertainment, Fall of Porcupine is a side-scrolling adventure indie game that released June 15th, 2023 for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, and last gen and current gen Xbox and Playstation consoles. For this review video, I played the Xbox One version on my Xbox Series X via backwards compatibility.
