We Got This CoveredAndrew DonovanAug 20185/5 starsDonut County is a singular experience that transcends its simple, but potent core mechanic thanks to its idiosyncratic humor, clever gameplay twists, and a gleeful sense of what makes swallowing the world into a hole so cathartic.

GamingTrendAbram BuehnerSep 201895/100Laser-focused and brimming with charm, Donut County is one of the year's best experiences. While brief, its laugh-out-loud sense of humor and laid-back, tactile gameplay combine precisely to create a game like no other. You'll come for its physics based puzzle-solving, but you'll stay for its quirky cast of characters and world. This is not a game to be missed.

Hardcore GamerMarcus EstradaSep 20184.5/5Donut County presents a simple concept to players: collect objects to make a hole larger until the entire stage is clear. Done poorly, no one would remember the experience whatsoever. Developer Ben Esposito turns something mechanically simplistic into a joy via smart design. The adorable world inhabited by colorful characters is something we desperately need more of in games. Donut County might not be a long experience, but it's one that players can't help but cherish.

Game RantDalton CooperSep 20182.5/5 starsDonut County has a great art style, hilarious writing, and unique gameplay, but it's too short and its gameplay never evolves far beyond its core concept.
