Harold Reviews

Professional reviews from gaming critics

Harold is a fun game for fans of the continuous runner genre, and against all odds it actually manages to take such a simple genre and build on it in a genuine and unique manner. It has a fairly steep learning curve, but despite taking on the role of an angel, the ability to hinder opponents is actually devilish fun.

Between its charming premise, beautiful graphics, and demanding gameplay, Harold is a winner in the end. Players who appreciate auto-running platform games should find it to be a fresh approach to the concepts found in such titles and a worthy challenge.

Deceived at first by the innocent art style, I expected Harold to be a bit of a walk in the park. Little did I know that Harold is not only a clever and humorous platformer, but a challenging one as well. Harold sets itself apart from most games by giving you control over the environment more than the character traversing it, and I was pleasantly surprised to find myself puzzled and unable to keep up with something which I mistook for easy.

Harold is one of those games where if you don't like steep difficulty curves, you'll likely want to stay away from it.  If you can get past that though, Harold does provide a pretty good challenge even in the early going and really tests your reflexes as the races get harder and you have to multitask even more obstacles.
