Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?! may not be the ideal Adventure Time game I can dream up. I would love to venture through a fully-realized Land of Ooo rather than the top down view I actually adventured in or the 2D platforming battles I fought through. I would love to hear every voice actor read every line in the game, and play hours worth of adventures dreamt up by Pen Ward all through the many worlds we've seen in the show. We don't get to hear nearly enough from BMO or Marceline or Lady Rainicorn. We never get to explore Lumpy Space or step foot in the Nightosphere. There are so many adventures you just know you're missing out on in Hey Ice King.
But what we currently have is still certainly a pleasurable experience and is committed to the essence of what makes Adventure Time so delightfully silly. And for now, I'm ok to enjoy that.

"If you are anything like me, you have wanted to play a decent Adventure Time game for a very long time. Unfortunately for all of us, we have yet to experience a title that truly encapsulates the franchise. I feel that the time for change has come and that a worthy game should be made and I have just the recipe for it!
Keep in mind, this editorial dives deep into Adventure Time lore, if you are afraid of any spoilers, please click away!"
I havent dived into the show as much, but eventually I'll jump into it a bit more.
The Batman: Arkham series are fantastic licensed games. They just so happens to be joined by some other great ones.
The Hub World writes: Adventure Time: Hey Ice King? Why’d You Steal Our Garbage?!! (man, that’s a mouthful) has a similar play style to Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. As a matter of fact, it is almost identical. You walk around the hub world (which is the Land of Ooo) in order to enter various towns, forests and other locations, in which you are put into a 2D side scrolling setting where you must travel and defeat enemies. Occasionally, you will also bump into enemies in the hub, which will put you into a small battle against multiple enemies for a reward. Altogether, the gameplay is quite solid and fluid, but it can get quite tedious as the game progresses.
