- Tiny Brains definitely isn’t great. In fact, it’s not even very good. However, for the group of friends that opt to enjoy it together, it may just provide enough laughs for a decent night in. Technical issues, an extortionate price point, and a slender running time mean that you should approach with caution – but if you’re looking for something to play with your buddies, then you may enjoy the experience all the same.
Mat Growcott · Dec 27, 2013 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Tiny Brains might look adorable, but its short length and lack of imaginative puzzles will turn your wide grin into a questioning smirk. However, if you're dying for a weekend's worth of solo or cooperative puzzle-solving, Tiny Brains is serviceable--though more tiny than brainy.
Brittany Vincent · Dec 11, 2013 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - It can get frustrating on your own. The mini games offer up some variety and fun, but with a price of $20, it is a little steep. Still, if you have some friends over or some online buddies that have the game and want to have a decent time solving puzzles while trying not to kill one another, Tiny Brains offers some decent fun.
Drew Leachman · Dec 10, 2013 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Tiny Brains isn’t without merit. When all the powers combine to unlock a path through a level, especially when you’ve done it with the assistance of friends, the game comes together. Moments of interesting presentation appear here and there, but too many other aspects of Tiny Brains are sloppy and incomplete.
Kyle Hilliard · Dec 06, 2013 Reviewed on PS4 - All the elements of a fun and creative co-op puzzler are present in Tiny Brains, but there are nagging issues or slight missteps that keep the game from reaching its potential at every turn. The powers are creative and fun to use, but the puzzles are far too easy. ...With some more interesting puzzles and cleaned up controls, Tiny Brains would be an easy game to recommend to everyone, but as it stands it’s best avoided.
Matt Beaudette · Dec 06, 2013 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Visually, this is a bright and colorful game, which I always feel we can use more of. The character designs are excellent, and the environments as comically cruel. The framerate, however, is a little offputting, and I don't care much for the grain filter splashed over the action. Still, the voice acting is delightful, and the song at the end is adorable.
Jim Sterling · Dec 04, 2013 Reviewed on PC, PS4Read full review - Tiny Brains was worth the not-quite-three hours it took to finish because I enjoyed the intersection of four superpowers to solve puzzles with timing and platforming elements that other games in the genre shy away from. ...a very different game without the full team of critters, and usually not for the better. Without a particularly strong story or memorable humor, there's not enough content beyond the positive multiplayer experience to place Tiny Brains among the PlayStation Store's better titles.
Kyle Prahl · Dec 04, 2013 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Tiny Brains an excellent downloadable package and an even better multiplayer game. Few other titles manage to capture the magic of on-the-couch multiplayer quite as effectively. Its bizarre yet charming premise and the clever design of its puzzles and challenge modes are certain to keep you giggling for hours, even if you'll see all the content available in four or less.
Ryan Taljonick · Dec 03, 2013 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Tiny Brains is an excellent addition to the PlayStation 4 lineup. While the game is a little on the short side, it makes up for that lack of length with creativity and charm. ...The game could use a bit of downloadable content to beef up the game and in-game player audio would be nice. At the end of the day though, Tiny Brains has delivered the best multiplayer experience I have had on the PS4 so far, and brings me back to the fun co-op days of Scott Pilgrim and Castle Crashers.
Cameron Teague · Dec 03, 2013 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - To balance that out, Tiny Brains is thankfully not an elegant, perfect clock of a game. It's accessible and adorably illustrated. It has a streak of dark humor embedded in its cast of Frankenstein furballs, and it's just relaxed enough to let its physics-driven puzzles slide out of control every once in a while, giving its challenges a spark that chores don't have.
