The WhatsNext verdict
If you want a gentle first point-and-click adventure for a preschooler, this offers a colorful, playful world with friendly characters and easy experimentation. Its very short, low-challenge design is unlikely to satisfy players seeking a substantial adventure.
What it does best
A welcoming first adventure for young players
A warm little world built for comfort
Remarkably rich presentation for a children’s adventure
Child-friendly silliness with constant personality
What might put you off
Very short and extremely easy
Simple, sometimes opaque interactions
The setup
What you are walking into
Putt-Putt Joins the Parade is not only the first game in the Putt-Putt series, but the first game ever released by Humongous Entertainment. This "Junior Adventure" aimed at young children has fairly low stakes — you help Putt-Putt the car join a local parade — but was a stepping stone for the developer's later, somewhat more sophisticated titles.
