June 2025
I know this game is like 6 years old, but I just gotta say. After finally beating a playthrough after owning it on the Switch for like 3 years, this game is great. I didn't expect to sink 3+ hours straight into a single, standard fixed run, but I did. It felt just challenging and tedious enough to make me really strategize, but not enough to make me feel like it was unfair. And the joy I felt hearing the game's theme in the final level was insurmountable. I fuckin' slept on Toejam and Earl dude.. this used to be just a fun, quaint little pick-up-and-play game I owned on Switch, now I consider it absolute peak.

Never played the original, so consider me a new convert. The game oozes style: graphically, sonically, even in the gameplay. I expected a platformer or at least an attack button. Instead you mainly walk around and avoid enemies, collecting parts of your ship and leveling up. I can’t imagine how cool this game would have been back in the day, but it’s still worth your time for a playthrough or two. Also Macauley Culkin produced this? What?

It's the original game but with a load of new stuff added to it and 4 player support. I prefer the original a little more, but this is a really solid follow up, and probably a ton of fun with 4 players. Get it on sale. Jammin'!

I've been playing this game off and on for a while now. People complain about how "random" the skill ups are or the fact it gets harder in the back half of the game. That's the point. If they had advertised this as a rogue-lite, which it is, it makes complete sense. You can choose a starting character with your primary stats, and you get random upgrades that may hinder or help your run. Last half of the game does require effort to play, but if you play smart and use the presents you got in the literal first half of the game, than you will be fine. Overall, I played the OG one a long time ago and I'm actually happy with the progress. I can't wait for the next one. Maybe up to 4 players? Wishful thinking.

Still riddled with bugs and likes to lag or crash randomly but it's Toejam and Earl, a game like no other - equal parts fun and horribly frustrating. An average game from start to finish (if a van or flying girl doesn't KO you right before you get that last piece) takes a few hours and, if you're playing a random world, it's a different kind of stress every time. The style is unmatched, the soundtrack is funky, the exploring and playing with presents is fun, it's great for idle hands and all the added elements in this game make it a worthy successor to the original. Nothing like the 2nd or 3rd (in my opinion, this is more than fine) and basically a roided-out definitive version of the first. TJ&E for the Genesis is one of my favorite all-time games and I probably still enjoy that one more since this game has newer, meaner enemies including itself if you start hearing your computer's fan.
