Review by Jon Donnis
Funko Fusion is a charming and ambitious action-adventure game that dives headfirst into the world of fandom. Developed by 10:10 Games and based on the immensely popular Funko Pop! collectibles, it offers a playful crossover experience that brings together over 20 beloved franchises from Universal Pictures, comics, games, and more. Whether you're a fan of Jurassic World, Back to the Future, or Mega Man, the game is packed with nostalgic appeal.
The gays a significant role in Funko Fusion, drawing comparisons to the whimsical charm of the LEGO video games. It doesn't take itself too seriously, which is part of its appeal. However, while the game is generally family-friendly, it does include nods to darker franchises like The Thing and Five Nights at Freddy's, so parents should be mindful of its themes.
Unfortunately, Funko Fusion isn't without its flaws. The combat, while serviceable, often feels shallow and lacks the satisfying impact that would make battles truly engaging. Puzzles and enemy encounters can become repetitive over time, which might deter players looking for more variety. Some objectives are poorly signposted, leading to moments of frustration as players struggle to figure out how to progress. The bugs are perhaps the most significant downside. The game occasionally forces players to restart entire levels due to glitches, which can be particularly frustrating if you're far into a stage.
On the brighter side, the game's accessibility makes it perfect for younger gamers or those new to the action-adventure genre. Its lighthearted nature, coupled with a vast array of collectibles and fan-service moments, ensures it will still find a dedicated audience despite its shortcomings.
Funko Fusion is a solid outing that celebrates the joy of fandom but needs further polish to fully realise its potential. With updates and fixes, it could evolve into a standout title in its category. For now, it earns a respectable 7 out of 10.
Out Now on Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo and PC
