Defunct Games reviews Paperman: Adventure Delivered by Secret Item Games, available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Switch and PC.
When an evil dragon steals all the mail, it’s up to four cartoony postal workers to spring into action and save everybody’s letters. That’s a cute premise that should have led to an adorable 3D platformer, similar to the classics we saw on the Nintendo 64. Unfortunately, the great level designs and silly concept is completely undone by horrendous gameplay and some of the worst camera problems I’ve seen in decades. Couple that with a lot of game-breaking bugs, control preferences that refuse to save and a mountain of cheap or unavoidable deaths, and what you have is one of the worst playing platformers of not just this year, but any year.
