X will reveal all things that you can interact with, and B will speed up cut scenes you have seen before, if you do not want to watch them again. It is a nice touch that could have easily been a standard selection menu to choose the next puzzles, but instead we do get a much more interactive overworld to make the overall experience more fun.Ĭontrols are beyond simple, as they mostly rely on the left joystick or d-pad for movement and the A button for interaction. You can kick people around, unlock more areas as you complete puzzles, and just enjoy gags that occur around the place. It is not a grand one, but it is just intricate enough to keep you busy between puzzle sets. What do you spend coins on, you ask? Well, more puzzles, that’s what! But this is one of the more entertaining things about McPixel 3, and that is the overworld. Doing all the possible actions in a puzzle will give you that 100% accolade and extra coins to spend. Each puzzle, too, has numerous actions that can be performed, and McPixel 3 logs all of your attempts. You need to think heavily outside of the box, and it is usually a solution that is in plain site or one that is so convoluted that you will be laughing hysterically as you watch the conclusion and celebration. The puzzles in McPixel 3 rarely make sense, but that is part of the charm and enjoyment. Any particular combo keeps sending you around until you complete a puzzle, and then you will continue circling the group of puzzles until you have solved them all.
Basically, you are presented a handful of puzzles as a grouping, and you need to solve all of those puzzles in order to “save the day”.
The gameplay is quite similar to WarioWare with a couple differences. It is an absolute riot, and characters like Steve who provide bonus puzzles add to the experience and make matters even sillier and fun. It is just a silly game that sends the main character into numerous places and scenarios that are just obnoxious to think about. The situations are so absurd that you cannot help but laugh and laugh.
This is one of those games that throws you for a loop and has you laughing at the ridiculous scenarios that you are thrown in to, whether that be trying to put out a house fire with your urine, prevent your own helicopter from crashing into a building, or shrinking to the size of a bug and avoiding a lawn mower. McPixel somehow just finds his way into situations where death is looming, and he has to use his creative and often-times insane mind to figure out how to prevent the absolute worst case scenario from happening.
It is a chaotic and mostly nonsensical title that is equal parts WarioWare and McGyver. McPixel 3 follows McPixel, a wannabe hero that tries to save the day constantly one scenario after the next.
