Winx Club: The Magic Is Back

While fans of the franchise or parents may find it to be a safe choice, the quality of play is lacking in some pretty fundamental areas

As a whole, Winx Club: The Magic Is Back is a short, harmless and very basic tie‑in that younger players may enjoy for its ease and familiarity but it lacks the magic and polish to truly satisfy long‑time fans. It's one of those games that feels more like a cash grab opposed to a game made for kids and sadly (even though we finished it), my daughters were a little underwhelmed and without co-op play, we would have missed the finish.

You’re done with it in less than three hours. Local co-op can make the experience less aggravating, but won’t help make the gameplay feel exciting. There’s just no magic in this game about fairies.
