Apple Arcade review #23: Way of the Turtle

An auto-walk-platformer (is this a thing now?) that unfortunately has to compete with the much better Apple Arcade auto-run-platformer Rayman.

The eponymous turtle keeps walking, you can change direction and jump, across a rather derivative series of levels littered with enemies and traps. Also, you collect coins. Of course. Turtles need cash to buy turtle things, I guess?

I know I sound dismissive, and that’s probably because this is a game for five-year olds, and not jaded old men like me. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with games that target a younger demographic, although it’s possible to make games for children that can also be appreciated by adults.

Way of the Turtle, then: passable entertainment, but don’t expect anything special.
