PUTTY SQUAD PS VITA REVIEW 1080P
The game’s visual output admirably safeguards the style of Phil Thorton and Nick Lee’s original designs, while uprezzing the output to a purported 1080p picture. Undoubtedly, Putty Squad’s appearance on the PlayStation 4 is predestined to cause puzzlement for players looking for a game which validates their four-hundred dollar investment. More recently, System 3 has given Putty Squad a high-definition makeover, allowing the once-overlooked curio to be enjoyed by a global audience. Despite the positive feedback, the title was only given a subdued SNES publishing in the U.K., with the original Amiga iteration languishing until the studio made the game available as a free holiday download this past year. Following the completion of coding in 1994, Putty Squad developer System 3 sent review copies to magazines- earning a sizable amount of critical acclaim. Of course, the inaccessibility of a game isn’t a uniquely American dilemma.

Although ‘90’s gaming is often remembered as the decade dominated by Mario and Sonic, the platformer was remarkably pervasive, inspiring developers from all over the globe to create their own interpretation of the genre.
