Access is restricted by collection of Golden Paperclips, three to find within any level. Paperland acts as the central hub where you’ll be able to select and enter into any level that will allow you access. The tunes are light hearted, Saturday morning cartoon and cute throughout most of the game. The music throughout reinforces the fact that this game is basically built for a family experience, especially aimed at the younger of the family unit. This only ever happened twice to me throughout my 100% completion (actually 99% as a glitch that doesn’t register one pick-up won’t allow for the full statistic), that’s 4 and a half hours of play. The vast majority of the game runs fluidly, but on a number of occasions when the levels are multi-planed and throwing around more enemies than usual the frame rate shudders and slows down to a near game breaking experience. A little dark in places due to some levels occurring at night, but otherwise bright, colourful and very childlike. It all looks very nice in its choice of aesthetic, similar to Paper Mario Games, but with more reality and less cartoon graphics. There are no more unlockables to your platforming abilities, outside of transformations later on in the game, and I’ll talk about them later. All moves are open to you from the very beginning, Left Analogue stick for movement, Y allows you to run (well, move a little faster), and B jump (tap twice for a handy double jump that sees your robot spin for extra height). The only thing that should matter in a platform game such as this is the mechanics that the game is built around, and Paper Monsters Recut doesn’t disappoint with its control of the main protagonist and his jumping abilities. This game doesn’t require a great plot, just as Mario games don’t. Unfortunately, with no option for any form of co-op play, this is a solitary experience. This paper-thinness encompasses the entirety of the game, but underlying this thin veneer is a game with some very solid platform mechanics, at least for the majority of the experience. You play as a paper/cardboard cut-out robot throughout a game that has an incredibly paper-thin plotline. It’s up to you to take down the evil mastermind, whatever his reasons are for such a despicable attack on helpless creatures are never explained, and restore Paperland to its former over the top cuteness. Paperland has been attacked and all the cute and colourful paper monsters have been transformed into savage mindless dinosaurs intent on attacking your paper robotness. Paper Monsters was released in its original version on iOS and Google Play in 2013, but now has been updated in its Recut version for the WiiU. Other formats available: Steam, Amazon Fire TV
