Klaus Lee: Thunderballs is a loving, brutally difficult homage to a time when players weren't held by the hand, but thrown in at the deep end. Super-precise controls, a merciless difficulty level, and a healthy dose of 80s nostalgia combine to create a challenging and, in the best sense, "old-school" game that rewards countless deaths with many hours of nerve-wracking action.
Read full review ↗Klaus Lee – Thunderballs is a love letter to an era of gaming when skill and patience were the only ways forward, but it's delivered with a modern, smartly designed touch. It's tough, sometimes unfairly so, but it's also addictive, well-paced, and endlessly replayable thanks to its level creation tools. Whether you're blasting through the main campaign or diving into player-made deathtraps, the core mechanics remain solid, the humor stays sharp, and the satisfaction of threading the needle with your jetpack never gets old.
Read full review ↗Klaus Lee – Thunderballs is an engaging homage to the TV and gaming action heroes of the '80s. It's not the deepest or most diverse platformer you'll play on the Switch, but its 100+ levels and built-in level designer provide plenty of staying power.

However, it may not be as easy to digest for younger players, who weren't forged with the punishing adventures of an older era of video games.
