![]() There’s also some combat not like any of the enemies are threats anyway. The New Uncharted Sure Looks… Unfortunate The camera is the real villain in Scrat’s Nutty Adventure. It doesn’t help that, if Scrat is next to a wall, the camera will often get stuck on it, constantly doing little other than flipping the picture 180 degrees over and over while reversing the controls and making it overwhelmingly difficult to escape from this situation. More than once I had to spend a large chunk of time standing in one place and just trying to get the camera pointed to where I want to go next. ![]() Then the camera goes from nothing to super fast as soon as you manage to figure out when you can turn it. There is an absolutely massive dead zone that any sort of minute adjustment is impossible. The camera is so imprecise and wild that I could never figure out how I was supposed to actually use it. The real challenge comes from actually finding the platforms. Almost all the platforms are so big it’s nearly impossible to miss jumping on them, giving the game absolutely no challenge as well. There’s not a single thing interesting about it. By the end, he has a double jump and a couple of abilities that only work in contextual sections and perform very specific actions. At the start of the game, Scrat only has a single jump. Being a platformer, you need to jump on platforms to do this. The absolute basic gist of Scrat’s Nutty Adventure is that it’s a 3D platformer where you need to go through the stages to get to the end and find a crystal nut. Do any characters from Ice Age show up besides Scrat? Yes, actually! Remember those two rhinos at the beginning of the first movie that was quickly used as a “haha making fun of gay people is funny” joke? They’re a totally random boss fight here. Thankfully, I am a cynical man, so I’ll say exactly that. If I was a cynical man I’d say Scrat’s Nutty Adventure‘s plot was very quickly thrown onto an already existing 3D platformer to quickly give it the Ice Age IP to sell. After all, I never saw any of the Ice Age sequels. Maybe it ties into some deep Ice Age lore I know nothing about. If you’re wondering what this has to do with Ice Age then join the club. That is about the extent of Scrat’s Nutty Adventure‘s plot. The Scratazons ask Scrat to collect four crystal nuts so they can once again return to a golden age. It turns out Scrat is part of an alien species made up of little squirrel men and weirdly sexy squirrel women that look like they belong on a FurAffinity page. Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure focuses on the titular Scrat, a “sabertooth squirrel” that had a very minor role in the first movie as some physical comic relief but got larger roles in each subsequent movie because he was basically the franchise’s version of Minions.Īt the beginning of the game, Scrat is hunting for nuts when he comes across a “Scratazon” ruin. It seems a bit weird an Ice Age platformer would suddenly be released in 2019 considering the last film came out back in 2016. I saw the first one in theaters as a kid and generally have positive memories of it, but never felt the need to see any of the sequels. It then had four sequels each of which received less critical praise, but still made money. So I hope this review is worth it.įor those unfamiliar with Ice Age, it’s an animated movie series that debuted in 2002 to general critical praise and financial success. The next day one of my friends removed me because I never played with them in favor of playing bad kids games. But I had to play Scrat’s Nutty Adventure. “Come play with us Sam,” they said, and I wanted to. Of course, the time it showed up overlapped with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, a game my friends and I wanted to play together. I requested the game, and it finally showed up in my inbox shortly after its release. Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure is a video game that cost me a friend.
