"Frogun is a must-play for 3D platformer enthusiasts that love retro-inspired titles. As long as you come with tempered expectations and expect a collect-a-thon more than fast-paced platforming, you&s;ll love it."

"Frogun is a fun, nostalgia-filled trip through 90s platforming with some interesting twists to keep things fresh. There&s;s a couple of niggles along the way, but overall, if you&s;re into classic 90s gaming, make sure you give this a shot."

"Frogun is a nice reminder of how the PS1 and N64 classics worked, but it also means bringing out just how annoying the flaws of that era were. The adventure itself manages to entertain, but don&s;t expect anything too captivating …"

"If it weren&s;t for the bugs and glitches, I would love to give this a wholehearted recommendation, but at the moment players should wait for a patch to fix things up. Aside from that, Frogun is a great retro inspired …"

"In its campaign, Frogun offers an experience that will appeal mainly to fans of the longing three-dimensional platformers of the 64-bit era. Although some challenges can be frustrating due to inappropriate gameplay choices, there are still several pleasant points that …"

"Frogun’s aesthetics belies an annoying kind of 3D platformer that demands precision. For that, I’m not sure if I should recommend the game to everyone but the most hardcore of platformer enthusiasts."

"Frogun hearkens back to a bygone era of platformers, for better or worse — usually better. While the physics of Renata’s moves occasionally hampers the experience, there is more delight than frustration as you explore each level."

"Slightly above average or simply inoffensive. Fans of the genre should enjoy them a bit, but a fair few will be left unfulfilled."
