![]() Several films try to adapt their films to video games. But if you’re looking for a really good platformer, I would recommend ignoring this game and buy any of the others on Switch like Super Mario Odyssey … Expand It was a fun run through and I can recommend it if you also grew up with the PS2 game and like 3D platformers in general. That game had a lot more polish and a lot more of the Ice Age charm, which this game is lacking quite a bit. Its sad to say but I think Ice Age Meltdown on PS2 is a much better game then this. So in the end this is a 3D platformer with a really solid base, but it just needed more time to cook. And I can’t say I regret buying this game. That doesn’t mean it’s bad, not at all, it was actually a very relaxing time playing this game. It has puzzels you need to solve that make use of the throwing in jumping mechanics and some even some boss fights where you need to exploit the environment to beat them. But it has good design and is sometimes suprisingly clever. The platforming challenges are pretty easy, you are not getting anything complex as with other 3D platformers like Super Mario Odyssey or A Hat in Time. But overall I do really like the way scrat controls. 3D platformers are my favorite genre and I even grew up with Ice Age Meltdown on PS2, so this game really hits some nostalgia parts for me. I really enjoyed the platforming for example. All of these problems make the game feel pretty unpolished, but it’s not all bad news. It’s one of the few Switch games I refuse to play in handheld mode because of it, and I normally don’t even care that much about framerates personally. But as soon as you play in handheld mode it really becomes a slideshow. The game does run fairly well on tv, with some staggering and frame drops. I haven’t played the PS4 or Xbox One versions of the game, but I have the feeling it doesn’t run much better on those platforms as well. The game also runs pretty bad on Nintendo Switch. The main collectible, little purple rocks that act like coins in Mario, don’t make a satisfying sound when collecting them. One of the things that rubbed me the wrong way most was the lack of sound effects during gameplay. And the music isn’t really fitting for a kid friendly 3D platformer. Speaking of music that’s something this game is reallt lacking, overall it’s good but it’s way too quiet and sometimes just stops playing all together. The cutscenes are also mostly broken with sound effects and music that don’t play at the right time. It also comes with a couple of graphical glitches, for example Scrat’s model stutters and there is a weird shadow that follows him in the ground. The games does look pretty good for a modern kids game, but it’s not overwhelming. Sometimes it happen on accident, sometimes I was trying to break the game for fun. I was able to glitch through walls and even the ground with ease in a good number of stages. This game needed more time in the oven, it can be glitches and is rough around the edges. However, again, it does have it’s fair share of problems. It does have it’s flaws but I can see that there was some kind of passion behind this project. I was able to glitch through walls and even the ground with ease in a good Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure is not a bad game or a bad cash grab. ![]() Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure is not a bad game or a bad cash grab.
