Summary
Iron Snout is a simple idea that is executed well, I mean it is easy to play and does have a fair amount of modes, the two players one, in particular, is fun. You do find however it feels more like a mobile game designed as a time waster rather than a game you do a heavy session on. It has no online interactions at all so score chasing is fruitless. For what it is, is fine but go in expecting a nice time waster and you will be fine. Trophy hunters rejoice though as its an easy Platinum and each version have its own platinum so get stacking!
