PS3Blog.netAug 201690/100Overall Armikrog is a fun little puzzler. It is very polished experience, and I had an absolute blast playing this fine claymation game for my Armikrog review. I love point and click games, and having that combined with claymation made this even better. The game might have seen several delays during its development, but in the end, the wait was well worth it. If you're a fan of The Neverhood then you should be downloading this game right now!

Post Arcade (National Post)Matthew O'MaraOct 20157.5/10As a spiritual successor to The Neverhood, the game succeeds on all levels, but somehow I don't think it will gain the same kind of cult following this time.

GameSpewKim SnaithOct 20158/10The audio in the game is excellent… the original soundtrack is perfectly orchestrated, with tracks that change depending on the environment and the current on-screen action

EurogamerRichard CobbettOct 2015Armikrog fails as an adventure, a story, a Neverhood successor, and on any other level you might have hoped for.

Rock, Paper, ShotgunJohn WalkerOct 2015There's a chance the bugs could be patched out, although this really is in a sort of Arkham Knight place where pulling it and finishing it is the better option. But even if it ran without constantly breaking, it would still be a really dreadful adventure game. A gorgeous one – some of the most lovely animation I've ever seen in a game – but just so poor.
