PC gamers have been isolated from TMNT: Shattered Fate so far, but the game is worth waiting for, especially for a long time Turtles fans.

Nomada Studio’s second release returns to the same hand-animated and wordless 2D platformer territory that saw its debut Gris Become a mega-hit with critics and fans, but it never seems like a certain retreat. Anchoring an eco-themed fairy tale with simple but satisfying combat, movement and puzzling, the latest from publisher Devolver Digital is an easy recommendationA crowd-pleasing platformer several shades simpler than GrisBut no less elegant or engrossing.
