In Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip for the PS5, you’re invited to join our pint-sized protagonist on what promises to be an irreverent, open-world escapade. Unfortunately, this supposed love letter to zany sandbox antics ends up feeling more like a half-baked doodle than a full-throttle romp. Despite its cheeky premise, the game ultimately leaves you wondering if you’d be better off watching paint dry.
Gaming Heaven
At first glance, Turbo Trip dazzles with its colourful, cartoonish world and a parade of eccentric characters that might tempt even the most jaded gamer. There’s a certain charm in its nods to classic mascot platformers and kid-friendly GTA clones, and the mini-games and side quests offer brief bursts of amusement. The gameplay delivers a nostalgic thrill reminiscent of simpler arcade days.
Gaming Hell
Alas, the novelty quickly sputters. The gameplay devolves into monotonous work that tests your patience more than your skills. Once you have played it for an hour, you will quickly become bored of the repetitiveness of it all. And don’t get me started on the dodgy camera angle inside buildings…
Final Judgement
While Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip initially promises a turbo-charged adventure, it ultimately runs out of steam, leaving you with a game that is shallow, repetitive, and more of a tiresome distraction than an engaging escapade. If you’re after profound thrills, you’re barking up the wrong tree.
