The WhatsNext verdict

For Fans of 1990s low-poly 3D platformers looking for a brief, nostalgic homage full of retro charm.: Captures the visual texture, 4:3 aesthetic, and playful spirit of classic N64 collectathons with bite-sized levels and varied mini-games. Tradeoff: The experience is extremely short and mechanically shallow, offering very little platforming challenge or depth.

What it does best

The setup

What you are walking into

Macbat 64 is a low poly 3D Platformer and 4:3 loveletter to the late 90s. All the 3D platforming goodness from the late 90s is back! Search, Collect and Jump (multiple times in a row even!) like it's 1998! 3D Platforming is not enough? Well, I got some kart racing, 8-Bit minigames, stunt driving 80s cars, First Person shooting sections, 2.5D Sections, a bar full of half drunk characters and a temple full of water for you! ...wait, come back here! The waterlevel is not that difficult, I promise!
