Mail Mole + 'Xpress Deliveries Reviews

deeply mediocre, it's pretty mindless except for a few golds which can genuinely be challenging (and frustrating, due to no fine tuning over the jump height). extremely forgettable character and story and extremely generic level design, platforming is fun enough but not really *that* fun. i'm still giving it a positive review because truly i don't like using negative unless something genuinely sucks, and i do see passion from the developers especially with free dlc. but after 100% the achievements, no part of me feels the urge to go back to this to actually try them. at a certain point i found i wasn't going for achievements because i was enjoying it, but because i just wanted to "complete it" to be done with it

I don't know what I was expecting with a game about a mole, but being underground at all times unless you jump makes the game a bit awkward to control at times. I wish there was a dedicated button for the jump rush since the timing is a bit rough with the regular dash button, especially if you decide to go for gold medals or do the harder races. Some of the levels that races are on also don't really seemed to be designed with racing in mind like Yeti Ridge with its arsenal of weapons or Spooky Swamp with its disappearing bridges that you have to wait for them to reform. It would also be nice if the game recognized my PS4 controller, but it won't accept any inputs at all with that for some reason. Most games at least let you use it with Xbox prompts, but this one won't. Thankfully I had a Switch Pro controller, but not even letting people use a PS4 controller in a platformer at all is unacceptable for a game released in 2021. If you're in a mood for a good platformer, there's better stuff out there.
