New platformer Paperklay is a little bit Banjo, a little bit LittleBigPlanet
Estimated reading time: 1 minute
3D platformer Paperklay has perhaps the least appealing protagonists I’ve seen in a game recently. I hate avian buddy duo “Chick & Nugget” and all their works, beginning with the ghastly 3am pun that appears to have spawned them.
Look at that ampersand, dangling in the middle like a chunk of gristle. What an absolute crime against typography. And chickens. And platform game levels made of paper and card – you’d never put an actual chicken nugget on dioramas like these, the grease would ruin it. I also mistrust Chick’s beady black eyes, and I can’t abide the fact that Nugget is wearing a fragment of eggshell for pants. That’s like a human child using a placenta as a necktie! Argh!
