The Smurfs: Mission Vileaf

Just in time for the holiday shopping season comes a smurf platformer that's much better than it should be. The relatively low budget is certainly noticeable in most things, but the most important parts shine. With charming graphics and as entertaining as it is challenging platforming, it's a colourful adventure that's perfect for the whole family.

As a platformer, The Smurfs: Mission Vileaf is a bubby and bright adventure that gamers of all ages can enjoy. However, some mechanics do feel a little underutilised and may hinder the enjoyment for older players.

The Smurfs Mission Vileaf is a good time, even if it can be a bit long winded at times, a lot of love went into this game, and I think it's a good time had by gamers of all ages.

Whether you're an older gamer like me that grew up with the Smurfs or are looking for your next family-friendly gaming adventure, The Smurfs - Mission Vileaf is a good game to check out.

This is a game that is mainly for children, so focusing on narration and world is not that important.

The Smurfs - Mission Vileaf is mainly aimed at the young audience, but adults can also enjoy themselves. Visually, it is not always beautiful. Despite the fact that the controls aren't too difficult and don't make the game unplayable, they could have been a bit better. Nevertheless, the gameplay compensates for the shortcomings and there is no shortage of fun.

Like I mentioned at the top this is a game that just feels like it exists. I was drawn in thanks to my connection to the Smurfs from my childhood. Playing with my son he enjoyed the game, but had little interest in learning about the characters. It feels like the game is more built to tug at nostalgia instead of bringing in new interest. Even so the core game is enjoyable enough to recommend for parents looking to play games with their kids. It is easy enough to play while also not being too simplified for the sake of being a ‘kids’ game. Definitely worth checking out for parents and kids alike.

The Smurfs: Operation Vilhoja is a great platformer for the smallest fans of these characters, as well as a great trip to do in the company of the little ones thanks to its cooperative.

Simple, cute, and a colorful Smurfs game with a coop mode as a bonus.

The Smurfs – Mission Vileaf is a fun return for Peyo's characters. Not exceptional but entertaining and not too challenging. Lacks personality in situations and character gameplay, but still a solid 3D platformer.
