Chickenhare and the Treasure of Spiking-Beard

Chickenhare and the Treasure of Spiking Beard may entertain younger gamers who are obsessed with the films, but I truly wonder how big of an audience that is. The Switch has hundreds of platformers, and dozens of those that are widely acclaimed, so choosing this over any of those would likely be a rare occurrence. The game sadly doesn't stand out or offer anything competent in its bland design. While the movies likely have some sort of personality, this brief four hour journey sadly does not.

Fun all-ages video game based on the movie based on the graphic novels

An odd mix of 3D platforming and some strategy that plays out reasonably well, but is also somehow a little off on the whole

Chickenhare and the Treasure of Spiking-Beard ends up being just a simple platformer designed to draw attention to the new film in the franchise. Nothing really stands out here—the plot is shallow, the gameplay lacks depth, and there are some technical issues. If you're a fan of Chickenhare, it might be worth checking out, but for those looking for a fun platformer experience, there are infinitely better options on the market.
