Raccoo Venture transcends the boundaries of a mere game; it’s a mesmerizing journey into nostalgia, magic, and innovation. With its meticulous level design, captivating narrative, and innovative gameplay mechanics, Raccoo Venture rightfully earns its place among the pantheon of triple AAA titles. Raccoo Venture is not just a game; it’s a testament to the artistry and passion of game development, delivering an unforgettable adventure for players seeking a harmonious blend of the past and the present.

Raccoo Venture is a good 3D platformer standing tall next to the games of the 90s it takes inspiration from. A channelling adventure with plenty of variety in gameplay that comes highly recommended to experienced platform players. However, its design may not suit the more casual crowd. Platforming and boss fights can be incredibly punishing in places far from the innocent graphical design it reflect. As for me, I welcomed the challenge, and despite my issues, I still enjoyed my time with the game. Another reason I liked it is the game made my son laugh hysterically. Something about the raccoon’s butt bounce had him in fits of giggles. Now, the game will be a cherished memory for me forever.

Raccoo Venture destaca por saber traer las bases de la esencia de los juegos de acción y plataformas 3D de hace unos años. Con un diseño de escenarios, puzles, secretos, animaciones y música, bien planteados. Pero sufriendo, por otro lado, de errores que creo que le tocan bastante la moral a cualquier jugador habitual del género, y plantea una fuerte barrera para el no tan avezado dentro de este tipo de universo. Siendo especialmente mejorable a nivel de control, de desafío, e incluso de repetitividad.

I’m conflicted about Raccoo Venture. On the one hand, it’s a very pleasant entry into an underserved genre, at least from a presentation standpoint, and it runs great across a wide variety of hardware, including the Steam Deck. There’s a huge variety of things to collect and unlock, and levels will no doubt require several playthroughs. On the other hand, I found it frustrating to play more often than not, in part because of this. Ultimately I found myself not enjoying it as much as I would have liked, but if you’re a fan of this type of platformer then it might be worth your time.

Raccoo Venture is highly inspired by the classic 3D platformers of yesteryear but does not implement enough unique ideas to stand out from the crowd. There are some fantastic environmental puzzles that are thoroughly fun to solve, but they are far too short. The uneven difficulty, annoying secondary character mechanics, and a few bugs ultimately dilute the experience.

The upbeat music, colorful levels, and cute characters can give players the wrong impression of what they're in for. The game contains a large number of areas, levels and items to collect and you will have to collect them all to unlock all the levels. Unfortunately there is a big but. The game quickly becomes frustratingly difficult and you regularly have to replay large parts of the levels to find all the collectibles. The game seems to focus on the target group that grew up with these Nintendo 64 and Playstation 1 platformers. Raccoo Venture is really not child's play and that is a missed opportunity.

Me habría encantado haber disfrutado del tiempo que gasté en ello más de lo que hice, porque necesitamos buenos juegos de plataformas antiguos como los que había en la década de los 90, pero Raccoo Venture nunca lo consigue del todo. Dicho esto, Raccoo Venture podría ser para ti si eres un gran fan de los juegos de plataformas clásicas y, con un precio de unos 14€, no puedes fallar.

While I’d hesitate to recommend this to younger gamers, it’s competent and creative enough for long-time platforming fans to take a look. It may not have you jumping for joy, but it’ll certainly put a skip in your step.

The lure of hidden collectibles and environmental puzzles flickers brightly, but it’s often overshadowed by sloppy battles and an obnoxious aiming system that feels like a festering wart on an otherwise charming experience. Despite its flaws, Raccoo Venture is brimming with soul. Densely packed with things Diego Ras loves, playing it feels like getting to know him on a personal level.
