Despite a few issues with AI and animations, Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom is an absolutely superb effort from Game Republic. It remains charming and sweet without ever becoming cloying or twee, with a genuinely interesting story and a wonderful character in Teotl. The gameplay feels at once traditional and unique, and the overall experience is both remarkable and memorable. No other game released this year has quite so much heart as this.

Ultimately, the entire game could be voiced by Fran Drescher and Ray Romano and it would still rock. The beautiful settings, excellent puzzles and killer boss battles easily make up for the game’s few shortcomings. If you can get past the cover, you’ll find an adventure worth taking – one that might just be the sleeper hit of the year.

Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom may lack the polish required to elevate it to triple-A status but its sense of adventure and exploration remain strong. The journey of both characters and the relationship, in terms of gameplay and story, make this into a very compelling experience and one that shouldn’t be overlooked.

Co-op gameplay works nicely and keeps us interested. Challenging, well designed puzzles. Decent, fitting music. Classic action/adventure theme is appreciated. Explorers and thinkers will be rewarded.

Majin does suffer from a couple of missteps — most important among these is the unimaginative implementation of the Majin’s powers in solving challenges. Whenever you discover a new ability, you can be sure that it’ll be the one you need to clear the upcoming puzzle rooms, typically to the exclusion of all other powers you’ve received.

Simplistic combat and tedious backtracking don’t fully diminish the pleasures of this attractive and festive fable.

The game doesn’t stand out as an action-platformer, puzzler or stealth game, but Majin still brings its various elements together with a scrappy charm. The Muppety appeal of your lantern-jawed sidekick grows throughout the game despite the pitiful script, and while progress generally comes down to getting through the next locked door, the game is often imaginative when it comes to the keys it gives you.

With Enslaved and the forthcoming The Last Guardian, ‘buddy’ games are becoming fashionable, their setup offering both narrative and mechanical benefits to the designer of adventure videogames. Game Republic’s effort lacks polish and elegance, but, thanks to charm and the in-built strength of its setup, it is an experience worth partnering with.
