Effie
SCORE: 72
Family Friendly Gaming was given a digital
downloadable code to Effie on the Playstation 4. This video game is also
on the Steam platform playing on the PC. Effie is a 3D action adventure
platformer with a few interesting indie wrinkles. The main character is
cursed by a witch with old age. He also uses a magical shield to attack
with. We collect ruins, and white orbs in Effie.
The issues families can have with Effie are violence, magic, and more. I
got into Effie as I played it. This game has some solid platformer
elements to it. There are simple puzzles to solve in Effie as well. The
colors in Effie are very interesting. Inverge Studios did some
fascinating things with the colors in Effie. I enjoyed this world. The
monsters are ugly and blink out after being beat up enough.
There is some fun voice acting elements in Effie. The character Garland
will refer to himself when he cannot do something. Like for example he
will say: “Garland cannot do that right now. He will have to come back
later.” This brought a smile to my face while I was looking for the keys
to that door. As we progress in Effie we learn new skills. These skills
are needed to reach other areas.
I wish Effie came in the physical copy format. This is the kind of a
video game that belongs at retail in my professional opinion. I enjoyed
breaking all of the boxes in Effie. I feel Effie is like some of the
older Zelda video games. I can see similarities to other games like some
of the 3D Mario games too. You will be required to parkour through
certain areas.
I enjoyed my time with Effie on the Playstation 4. There are fights that
can be difficult. I died in some of them because too many enemies were
coming at me at once. I learned to pick a few off, run away, and repeat
that process. Effie shows this genre is not dead and can be fun again.
