REVIEW GAMBIT Skylar & Plux: Adventure On Clover Island Genre: Action, Adventure Developer: Right Nice Games  Publisher: Grip Digital Release Date: March 2017 titular Clover Island. You spend time as a cyborg cat that was created by the main antagonist for reasons never really explained. You explore a beautiful paradise world with your bird friend Plux to save it from all sorts of techno evil. The story is mostly a throwaway concept, but it works well enough to keep you going.

The writing isn’t anything special with more jokes that miss rather than hit, but it keeps you going and keeps things interesting at the very least.

It really looks and feels like a Ratchet and Clank or Jak and Daxter game, which isn’t that  bad a thing, but as is always the case, if you look to clone a classic title in the modern age, you should at least offer more than the original. Skylar & Plux never really rises above its initial intent, but that doesn’t stop it from being a really fun experience.  Skylar & Plux: Adventure on Clover Island has players going on an action packed adventure on the  Gameplay is a basic as you might expect. You can run around and
