Pop-Up Pilgrims
Pop-Up Pilgrims
Pop-Up Pilgrims, développé par Dakko Dakko, est sorti le 13 février 2018 sur PlayStation 4. Ce titre mêlant stratégie, réflexion et plateforme propose, via le casque PlayStationVR, d'incarner le Floating Cloud God guidant ses pèlerins à travers plus de 50 niveaux en forme d'îles pop-up évoluant dans un espace 3D enveloppant, avec des graphismes 2D et un bestiaire d'ennemis à éviter pour atteindre la sortie. La presse a salué un puzzle-platform plaisant au style artistique soigné et aux inspirations Lemmings, tout en notant que la gestion des contrôles aurait pu être mieux pensée, et certains joueurs ont exprimé un enthousiasme très marqué à son égard. L'ensemble affiche une note moyenne agrégée de 68,00.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Overall, Pop-Up Pilgrims is a fun little puzzle title with a gorgeous art style, but its control scheme could have used a bit more thought, and an option to re-map some of the buttons would not have gone amiss, neither would some manner of in-game manual or tutorial. Fans of Lemmings will no doubt have great fun exploring this new twist on a classic idea. »
« Challenging enough, Pop-Up Pilgrims is a pleasant puzzle-platform with Lemmings in its DNA and a discretely exploited VR. »
« Pop-up Pilgrims may not be the best showcase of VR technology but there is no doubt that the aesthetic style benefits from the perspective. It is not only gorgeous to look at, but beneath the graphics is a simple yet genuinely inventive game with some great ideas. »
« Pop-Up Pilgrims is a very interesting Lemmings-like concept designed for the VR. If you like this type of strategy game, give it a try. »
« Pop-Up Pilgrims is a super-challenging VR game that's sure to reward perfectionists who love to strategize. However, its unreasonably sensitive mechanics will frequently make you feel like brutally bashing your headset in. »
« While it is fun to experience Pop-Up Pilgrims in a somewhat faux VR mode, it is really a mere 3D presentation when you get down to it. You are truly restricted to a god-like point of view. And the gameplay mechanics don’t quite gell with the VR implementation. »
« Pop-Up Pilgrims is a puzzle-platform that manages to be entertaining while showing numerous flaws, such as the scarce variety of situations the game has to offer. That, along with a questionable use of the PS VR, prevents us from fully recommending the game. »
« Pop-up Pilgrims is a beautiful and charming game that is pleasant for a time, until players discover that it carries some backdoor punishments for not getting perfect scores on every level. Compounding the issue, the game never explains this unfortunate mechanic, instead allowing the player to discover how things work when they are already in the midst of their punitive levels. There is no question that the game is well made, and fans of Lemmings-style games will probably find something to love here, Pop-up Pilgrims left me more frustrated than entertained. »

« This is the second best game ever, only behind the newest Bubsy game. I highly recommend it to everyone in the existence in the entire universe. »
