The henry stickmin collection crazy games full#
Technically, the game warns you to not run the game in full screen as it may cause some issues with click mapping but I have to say I didn’t run into a single issue during my playtime to date. Each choice has a branching path… never use the teleporter… its not worked until now… or will this be the one? Characters reappear, there is a potential love interest hinted at depending on the paths your take and there is a general good vs evil battle taking place too. If you are looking for story, there is some to be had here but it is comedy first. It is quite rare to find a game that unifies people under a comedy banner quite like Henry does as he warps into his death yet again. Put someone who does know what will happen next to someone who doesn’t and you are both having a laugh but for different reasons. Replayability to key to its success and the game is great to play as a group too. By design, death is a collectable and this makes you seek out multiple paths, trying different options and really exploring how you can get to any one of three or four multiple endings. Each time you die, it is added to your collection and you are given a slap down message. The more absurd, the more you are likely to find it here as time travel, aliens, laser beams, gun chases and improbable physics run the day. Henry Stickmin entertains by calling out to your base slapstick humour that has been around since early black and white cinema with deadpan delivery and crazy stunts on offer. It is rarely just from two options – its often as high as six – and half of the time five of them will kill you in wonderfully comical ways.

You may want to escape from the police for example after raiding a jewel and you’ll have a variety of icon or inventory based options to choose from. Roll the ball, shoot, talk, stand – all the choices are yours… and so are all the deaths!Įach screen of each episode is an often vast branching path of scenarios. The actual gameplay remains untouched and that is the gem of the crown. In terms of technical features, having seen screenshots of the originals – the collection is a vast step forward whilst maintaining the same feel of stickmen doing naughty things. The previous five had all their sound and backgrounds redone and the original ‘Break the Bank’ has been reanimated too. The collection contains six episodes, the final one being completely new.

If you too are not in the know, these are madcap short interactive cartoons where experimentation and choosing options that get you killed are just as fun as solving the caper itself.

The henry stickmin collection crazy games series#
This review is based solely on a complete newcomer to the series and the collection as a whole. I had somehow been completely unaware of the Henry Stickmin series until I came across the The Henry Stickmin Collection on Steam recently and picked it up.
