Max first appeared in Max & the Magic Marker on platforms such as iOS and WiiWare in 2010. This reimagining is a side-scrolling platformer with regular puzzles, but presents a more refined version for the Xbox One, for which it is one of only a few games aimed at younger players.
Gameplay
In pursuit of his kidnapped brother, Max must run, jump and climb through various environments avoiding monsters and solving environmental puzzles on his way. In each section of the game, his magic marker gains the ability to draw a new kind of object, and puzzle solutions often require a combination of these.
Highs and lows
The platforming is simple, leaving the puzzles as the focus. Happily they are difficult enough to give a sense of achievement, while remaining within the capability of a thoughtful child. Unfortunately, drawing shapes with an analog stick can be tricky, especially in speedy sections, but regular checkpoints soften the blow of failure.
The verdict
Adults may find the platforming mundane and the requirement to draw too frustrating, but this game is targeted well at a younger audience. The simple story doesn't get in the way of play; the child protagonist manages to sound like a real child; and the puzzles provide the challenge young players crave without stretching it to the point of frustration.
