The Lost Snowmen

The Lost Snowmen is a very nice platformer for a bunch of reasons. First off, despite the fact that it’s an old game, it still looks better than most indie titles that are coming out at this time. Secondly, it’s a puzzle platformer that uses co-op between three characters. The latter alone should be enough to get your attention.

In the game, there are three characters, all of them snowmen, and each one unique. Not only do they look different, but they also have special abilities that you need to combine to complete the levels that lie ahead.

In each one, you will get to play with two of them, and you can swap between one or the other. One is strong and can smash through walls of ice but can’t jump, another can leap to high grounds, but that’s about all he knows. The third one can fight the enemy but is useless in other scenarios.

What’s worth noting is that the game’s characters are well thought out and offer the game a good sense of balance. Moreover, seeing as how you have to combine their skills, the puzzles are that much more fun to solve. Especially when you figure out the mechanics between the characters.

In terms of action, there’s not much going on. The Lost Snowmen is more of an adventure with whimsical characters that like to joke around and poke at each other.

The puzzles are the main attraction here and for a good reason, they’re kind of clever, but in a standard kind of way. What that means is that if you’ve played enough puzzle platformers or puzzles, in general, some of the ones you’ll encounter in The Lost Snowmen won’t be all that challenging. However, there are a lot of instances where some solutions will catch you by surprise.

To wrap it up, The Lost Snowmen is a very nice game to play. It has some good comedy, nice puzzles and captivating gameplay. It’s worth it if you’re looking for a casual experience.
