  • Pepper Grinder reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on PC. Also available on Nintendo Switch.
    "Like its diminutive main character, Pepper Grinder may be a little on the short side, but even this small pinch of Pepper still packs plenty of punch. Plowing through platforms feels fantastic, no two levels ever seem the same, and there are some wonderfully destructive toys to discover and employ along the way. I do wish the boss fights outside of the final encounter were a bit more challenging, and the lack of anything meaningful to buy in the in-game store meant I didn’t feel compelled to take too many return trips through each world to collect any missed currency and extend my playtime. But if you’re in the mood for a short but sweet slice of propulsive platforming action of a kind rarely seen since Ecco the Dolphin’s last adventure, Pepper Grinder is all driller and no filler."

    Why are short games judged so harshly? In this day and age, a game that doesn't overstay it's welcome, and introduces fun ideas at regular intervals without being bored is a HUGE selling point for me

      The length of a game doesn't determine its quality. We shouldn't give special treatment for short or long games

      It's also possible for a 12 hour game to not overstay its welcome. If a game has potential to stay fresh and creatively offer new things throughout the hours, it doesn't have to be short.

    Game length is a very controversial thing in the last decade or so.
    People want games to be like 9hrs for something like this and AAA games ro be like 40hrs.
    When the time extends so much, too many aspects are recycled, story gets staled, enemies become more sponge like

      Whenever a game brags about the length being “100 hours” or some crap like that my first thought is
      “Ok, how many of those hours are spent doing interesting things?”

    I'm not one to comment on IGN's review scores usually, but the tone of this review and the score seem waay off. 7 Is passable, the only realy downfall sounded like length? For many people it being short and sweet is a benefit. Not every player is looking for a 50-100 hour RPG. Many gamers buy a lot of varied games, for me the quality of the time matters more than the price especially when it isn't triple A.

    I’m sorry, you can’t complain about the length of the game without also mentioning its price. 3-5 hours may be short, sure, but the game is also only about $15/£12.50.
    3-5 hrs of great fun for that price is perfectly acceptable and marking it down for that point just seems like pretty crap journalism.
