The Cub is a stylish and interesting game with a great post-apocalyptic atmosphere. The ruined city, environmental storytelling, and fast-paced platforming make exploring the world genuinely enjoyable. The art style is probably the biggest highlight, giving the game a unique look and personality. That said, some sections can feel repetitive, and the gameplay doesn't always feel as polished as the visuals. Still, if you enjoy atmospheric platformers with a strong story and unique presentation, The Cub is worth checking out.

Some of the levels are poorly designed, but overall this is a reminder of how good simple games can be. Absolutely worth the $ to pick it up and give a quick playthrough. Hopefully the company improves on their in house testing and game design in years to come (last 3 levels were 2 infuriatingly poorly designed ones and 1 milketoast final level, rest of game was awesome.)

My gosh, this game is so much fun! The platforming is tight and responsive and it is such a blast maneuvering through the various levels! I was concerned it would be too difficult for me, since it was tagged as precision platforming but I found it challenging but not too difficult! I also enjoyed picking up all the optional collectibles, as well, as they can add to either the lore or to our main character's personality, which is nice! But let's talk about the real star of this game, the soundtrack! The game features an in-universe radio station that the cub is always tuned in to. It's such a clever idea and the music itself adds a unique, one-of-a-kind vibe that I have never heard anywhere else! There is so many clever moments to make the radio feel like a real, tangible part of this world, like entering certain buildings cuts the radio feed, like you stepped outside of satellite range or swimming underwater has the audio muffled! I really freaking enjoyed this game and its fantastic soundtrack! 10/10

This should not be rated very positive. Its a 6/10. A beautiful looking game that has extremely average gameplay, and a completely uninteresting narrative. Its hand-drawn artwork, animation, and post-apocalyptic world are beautiful, making it worth experiencing for the visual presentation alone. But! The gameplay is extremely average. It rarely new introduces mechanics or any interesting ideas. Despite an intriguing premise, the story never grabbed my attention and ultimately left no lasting impression. It's the kind of plot that's easy to forget almost as soon as the credits roll. Its a visual showcase, And its short. Completed in one sitting in a few hours.

It's like the younger, feral brother of Planet of Lana. Every section is outlandish and beautiful. The postapocalyptic world creation is awesome, and it tells a good story. It's mostly run-and-jump (not a puzzle-platformer); some sections are difficult, but the checkpoints are frequent so there's very little frustration. It's pretty short too, I finished it with all collectibles in like 3 sittings. There are many details that elevate the game to an extremely polished experience: the soundtrack is awesome, and the radio chat, books and newspapers you find all contain fun, ironic social commentary. The animations when the kid is idle show you the amount of care they put into this game. Highly recommended if you're itching for a fun, quick-thinking platformer with some story behind it!
