Review: Jack N’ Jill (PlayStation 4)

Will you help reunite Jack N’ Jill? 140 levels and a bunch of mini games!. Once upon a time, Jack and Jill, went up the hill, to fetch a pail of water. It didn’t particularly end well for them, and to be honest, things aren’t exactly great for another Jack and Jill either.

Pros:

  • Charming retro-inspired graphics with a simple Black and White appearance.
  • 55.66MB Download size.
  • Platformer/runner gameplay.
  • Platinum trophy.
  • Controls- One button. Your character will move on its own and you just have to time the jumps.
  • Seven worlds with 20 levels within each.
  • Can replay levels.
  • Play as either Jack or Jill.
  • Finish worlds to unlock mini-games.
  • Opening tutorial.
  • Collect coins in levels to unlock harder challenges.
  • Earn tickets in mini-games and challenges to buy new character models in the in-game shop.
  • Simple gameplay.
  • Easy controls.
  • Fast easy Platinum trophy.
  • Cross-buy with the PlayStation Vita.
  • Chiptune soundtrack.
  • Instant reloads upon death.

Cons:

  • Soundtrack wears out very quickly.
  • Constant difficulty spikes.
  • One trick pony.
  • Little replay value especially if you do not want the extra challenges.
  • Platinum can be earned without seeing the vast majority of the game.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
