It helps, of course, that Puppeteer is also a genuinely fun game, one that is marred by its sometimes sluggish pace and tendency to be annoying rather than funny, but overall provides some much needed ingenuity at a time when videogames are ramping down in time for the next generation.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.destructoid.com\u002Freviews\u002Freview-puppeteer\u002F","2013-09-09","\n\t\t\t7\t\t",70,{"id":65,"author":66,"outlet":69,"summary":74,"review_url":75,"review_date":61,"original_score":76,"normalized_score":48},48047,{"id":67,"name":68},4080,"Robert Ramsey",{"id":70,"logo":71,"name":72,"website_url":73,"score_format":43},63,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FPush-Square-Logo.jpg","Push Square","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pushsquare.com\u002F","Within minutes of starting Puppeteer, it's clear that it's an absolutely stunning game.

For its occasional long-windedness, the story is quite captivating. For its intermittent cheap deaths, its overarching forgiving nature rises to the fore. For its occasionally frustrating platforming, its scissors-based traversal is a breath of fresh air.
