- Toby: The Secret Mine doesn’t really leave a strong impression either way. It isn't awful, nor is it good, with two halves feeling very different from each other. The presentation and story are fun, but the rest really doesn't stand out much. All in all, there are better offerings out there that give you more consistent quality. The puzzle-platformer genre is deep, but Toby is nowhere close to that.
Daan Koopman · Oct 13, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Toby: The Secret Mine is a boring game to play on the Nintendo Switch. It’s dark and gloomy atmosphere seems to set the scene well, but the scene looks very similar to that of the inspiration, making the game unoriginal and derivative. Most puzzles are bland but necessary for game progression. But overall, nothing in this game excited me nor made me feel compelled whatsoever. If you want to play a Limbo inspired game, best to go directly straight to the inspiration instead.
Peter Lopez · Aug 23, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - If you treat Toby: The Secret Mine as a little appetizer to saciate your Limbo-loving needs instead of a brand new big contender on the genre, you’ll most likely end up liking this game. It’s stupidly short and nowhere near as exciting as its source of inspiration, since it suffers from subpar level designs and an overall lack of “oomph,” but it’s a cheap and inoffensive pastime while you’re on a small flight or waiting for a movie to begin. At the very least, it’s quite good looking!
Leo Faria · Aug 13, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Toby: The Secret Mine’s performance is pretty good as a whole with only a couple of instances that caused me some frustration. The most prevalent of these took place near the end of the game while platforming on a series of turning buckets. After I had fallen a number of times, I soon found that after regenerating at the checkpoint, I couldn’t even land properly on the first bucket, a previously simple endeavor.
Jordan Loeffler · Jun 30, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Toby: The Secret Mine can be easily pardoned as a complete larceny of Limbo – but it’s not as simple as that. When Toby does craft its own uniqueness, there is a lot to like. While it doesn’t do this as frequent as it probably should, it never overshadows what the game has to offer.
Tom Willis · Jan 27, 2017 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - If you played Limbo, or more recently, Playdead’s “Inside”, then you already know exactly what kind of game you’re getting with Toby: The Secret Mine. While Toby is no where near as refined as either of those two games, I did enjoy it a touch more than I enjoyed Limbo, but not nearly as much as I enjoyed Inside. Still, with all the glitches and lack of originality, this is a game more for die hard fans of the genre and definitely not someone with a casual interest.
Alex Everatt · Jan 24, 2017 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Toby The Secret Mine is a solid platformer, with lots of puzzles to sort out, a vibrant and beautiful world to behold, and an engrossing gameplay.
Dan Vlasic · Apr 19, 2016 Reviewed on iOS, AndRead full review - Toby: The Secret Mine doesn’t do anything we haven’t seen before, but it is a solid if slow-paced puzzle platformer. Pick it up.
Oliver Roderick · Apr 03, 2019 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - I can highly recommend this game if Limbo was a part of your gaming catalogue in recent years but if frustration is not a feeling you appreciate during your gaming time then it’s probably best avoided.
Philip Hart · Jul 12, 2017 Reviewed on PS4 - Toby: The Secret Mine has plenty of great ideas that could make it a great game, but it quickly plummets down a mineshaft thanks to a number of missteps. It generally succeeds as a puzzle game, but the heavy focus on platforming doesn't work well and hampers the overall experience.
