· Apr 05, 2026 Reviewed on PC, PS5, Series X|S, Switch 2Read full review - GOOD Darwin’s Paradox! brings some genuinely fresh ideas to the platforming genre, but the feeling its net wasn’t cast wide enough is unshakeable.
Stuart Glover · Apr 03, 2026 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Darwin's Paradox! is a creative and charming puzzle platformer with unique movement and personality, but the stealth and pace aren't always smooth.
Nusrat Choity · Apr 02, 2026 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Darwin's Paradox! is a quirky puzzle-platformer that brings good times, but occasionally hits a brick wall.
Alessandro Fillari · Mar 30, 2026 Reviewed on PC, PS5, Series X|S, Switch 2Read full review - Darwin's Paradox is a charming and good-natured adventure that struggles to stand out in the puzzle-platformer genre. Octopus abilities are a nice idea, but ultimately add little to this simplistic adventure that often feels like it's treading water.
