Professional reviews from gaming critics

Tiny Thor is quite enjoyable with small play hours. It would take about five to six hours to beat the game and that is without visiting trials or going for all the gems.

“Cute” and “Thor” may not be words you think would go together when discussing the mighty Norse god. However, it will probably be the first thing you’ll think of when you see Tiny Thor. This 16-Bit platformer, which devs Asylum Square call a “love letter to the golden age of SNES and Sega Genesis platformers”, presents a tiny, pixelated, child version of Thor who has just received his divine hammer, Mjölnir, on his tenth birthday from his father Odin.

While the story is nothing intensely captivating, it’s solid enough and doesn’t detract from the game. It’s a fairly standard romp in the world of Norse mythology and Thor is a great character for a platformer. Tiny Thor really shines with its puzzle-solving, hammer-throwing mechanics, fun boss fights, and level-based design. It's accompanied by a great soundtrack, a vibrant feel and a Genesis-era pixel art style. In a time where there’s a slew of giant, open, overwhelming games, Tiny Thor stands out as a fun and straightforward puzzle platformer with mechanics that are not only satisfying but...
