GamePittRob PittJan 20188.5/10Defunct is a fun little indie platformer. If you persevere with the game and become accustomed to the controls then you really start to enjoy yourself a lot more. The game itself isn't very long, so the worth of the amount of content you get is totally up to you, but I feel that with the time trials, collectibles and the replay factor of wanting to replay once you are used to the controls; you are getting a decent amount of content for the price.

PS4Blog.netJan 20188/10On the whole, the game is a lot of fun for those who live for speedrunning. Using your robot to make the most of gravity as your ally will be a very fun ride, and while the game is a bit short, the price is right, and there's a lot of replayability in this one.

GameWatcherAnthony SheltonJan 20167/10Defunct combines speed and exploration in a package that's simplistic but engaging. The gravity functions lack a variety of uses but they're necessary in nearly every situation, and there's so many ways to engage with the game the way you want. It doesn't have all of its screws tightened, but what's there is packed with replay value.

GameGrinTyler SchurwanFeb 20184/10Not terribly engaging, not that great to look at or listen to, no characters or themes to get attached to, and no real point to the entire story mode. Just a generally underwhelming experience.

FourFaceButtonsDavid AedoFeb 20184/10This game isn't made for careful maneuvers but that's what you end up doing half the time. The best parts are racking up speed and figuring out how to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible.
