James writes - "The age-old battle of good versus evil is at the centre of most adventures, but it’s not so often that you’re taking sides with the baddies - the likes of the Overlord games come to mind. Pumpkin Jack however, is an eerie 3D platformer which sends you out into the spooky world to decimate all that is good and it’s available right now."
We dive into the best Switch horror games for the Halloween season for both kids and adults.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "Regardless of where I land on it overall, Pumpkin Jack is another great example of the prodigious work one developer can accomplish with modern tools. I think that's a wonderful testament. When looking at the game proper, I think Nicolas Meyssonnier's work falls just short of its action-platformer goals. But when you consider its great Halloween-themed visual design, engaging soundtrack, strong personality, creative potential, and its place in today's market, genre fans can still have a gourd time with it."
TGG says: "Pumpkin Jack is back! No, not with a new game, but around Halloween the game finally received some next-gen updates to make it run smoother on the Xbox Series X|S and PS5. At the same time, the developer also fixed some longstanding issues with the achievements that wouldn’t track correctly so now seemed like the perfect time to finally light the candle in our hollowed-out pumpkin head and dig in."
