"[Robox] can stir completely different reactions between two people who are very much alike. Some will see it as nothing more than a frustrating affair, while others will appreciate the retro-inspired throwback. With that said, if you are typically drawn to indie platformers and are up for the challenge that awaits you, you'll find that Robox isn't a bad game by any means. But as you'll see in this review, your mileage may vary on how much you enjoy it." -- Wiiloveit.com
