Joggernauts (2018)

Joggernauts is a cooperative game that can make us lose our patience at many times. With a nice premise and childlike appearance, we are facing a hard and difficult to master game in which coordination will be essential to move forward. The absence of an online mode weighs heavily on it and it could have been much better than it is. In general, a game to kill time effectively.

Joggernauts is a surprisingly fun take on the auto-scroller but a fairly short one filled with its fair share of frustrating moments. As a single player experience it feels clumsy but gather a group of friends and there’s a good amount of amusement to be had even if most of the time it’s from everyone yelling at each other and trying to orchestrate themselves. A short, simple and laugh-filled time.

Joggernauts tasks players with a challenging runner game, but becomes a bit of a chore unless you have a friend or two to play with

Joggernauts is a stirred mess throughout, and while most of its current issues could be resolved through patches, updates, and perhaps a new platform of choice, it's current Switch version is simply not there yet.

I wish I had good things to report from my time with Joggernauts, but it was more sour than sweet. While it may hold some fun for the first few levels, the appeal quickly wears off. If you are in the mood for a unique, challenging runner with co-op play, Joggernauts may provide some fun for you. However, you might want to wait for a sale.
