Pizza Possum Review (PlayStation 5)
For this Pizza Possum Review, we play a short and sweet arcade experience where your goal is to eat as much food as you can without getting caught. An adorable mix of wholesome and mischievous, you hide and seek your way through the village alone or with a friend, using items and bushes to maneuver your way around the patrolling guard dogs. Get to the top of the village, eat the massive pizza, and steal the crown from the dog leader’s head. So what are you waiting for? Time to eat!

Summary
Pizza Possum is a stealth-like game with the goal of eating food, earning keys, and unlocking new parts of the level. The game has a download size of 378.2MB and offers a platinum trophy. As you collect food, it fills your bar which eventually unlocks a door key. At the end of a run, you get a score that acts like experience points and you unlock new power-ups. These power-ups, such as smoke bombs, coffee, and roadblocks, are quite helpful. The game features a well-designed world full of routes and hiding spots. It also offers a local two-player Co-op, which makes the game absolutely mental.
However, the game has some drawbacks. It can be grindy as all you are doing is collecting food for power-ups. There’s no online Co-op or character customization. The controls cannot be rebound and there are no sensitivity sliders. The game doesn’t actually boast a tutorial. At times, it’s hard to know what you can climb up. There’s also no camera control and the gameplay can get repetitive with little variety. Overall though Pizza Possum is a great lot of fun if only initially. I lost a fair few hours to it then never really thought about it again but it is honestly a good bit of fun and an excellent parent and kid game-together title.
