I’m not usually into kiddie games, and I’ve never liked the “junior” versions of classic characters. The whole “look, it’s your favorite but younger” thing just feels weird to me. I do like Scooby-Doo though, so I figured I’d give this a shot anyway.
Surprisingly, I didn’t hate it. I actually kinda liked it.
The game is really basic, and you can tell it’s made for a younger audience. But there’s something nice about how it all just works. Each level throws you in, gives you stuff to collect, things to punch, and a enemies to deal with. It doesn’t waste your time with long cutscenes or confusing paths. It’s simple in a way that feels chill, not boring.
One thing I liked was how each character has a little special ability. Nothing huge, but it makes switching between them kinda fun. I mostly picked it up because it seemed perfect for my Steam Deck before-bed gaming. I wanted something easy to pick up and put down, and most importantly, something that didn’t need a collectible guide. I hate having to pause every few minutes and fumble with my phone to see what I missed. Here they’re placed in a way that makes you feel smart for noticing them without needing a guide.
The jokes are constant. Most of them made me roll my eyes, but a couple were kinda cute. It’s very Saturday morning cartoon, just not one of the better episodes. Still, it keeps moving and doesn’t drag.
I wouldn’t say it’s an amazing game, but I didn’t regret playing it. It felt like something that knew exactly what it wanted to be and just stuck to it. Not a hidden gem or anything, but if you like Scooby-Doo and don’t mind something really light, it’s a nice little break from heavier games.
