"Glover is a very unique experience: it&s;s a really brilliant platforming idea, which resulted in a game that, while not a masterpiece, is super fun and different from anything else the genre has to offer. But unfortunately the remastering work …"

"Tired of Super Mario 64, Banjo &a; Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64? Try Glover, a different game about collecting items and mainly about passing levels and advancing through different scenarios to save the kingdom. If one word could sum up …"

"Glover is still a cute little game that really brings back that vintage N64 Platformer vibe with vibrancy and charming music and, at times, really showcases some clever level design and puzzle elements. But it has technical issues and a …"

"Glover was an ambitious and unique concept back in 1998. Ultimately, it&s;s where the game should remain. It is a shame - with improved controls and tweaks to the design, it could have shown the concept in its best possible …"

"It might be a bit nostalgic to some people, perhaps even a bit charming, but play it for a bit and you’ll realise why you asked your mom to buy you a copy of Banjo-Kazooie or Rayman 2 instead of …"

"Glover is a beloved title of an excellent era of 3D platformer games, so it’s really disappointing the developers did not adapt the game to be playable to modern standards. The game didn’t need a rebuild, but it clearly didn’t …"

"I thought for a long time on how to rate this release. From a preservation perspective, Glover is an interesting case indeed, but as a remaster, it barely deserves two stars. However: when the game works and the level design …"

"Glover isn’t particularly long, and most of the challenge comes from the handling of the game itself. If you’re really into 3D platformers, especially ones that are experimental in controls and execution, then you might find some investable enjoyment from …"

"Glover returns with very little fanfare and sadly, it&s;s not going to win a new audience with a lackluster remastering. The physics-based puzzles are still fun to attempt, but there&s;s so little else here, one could argue it should have …"

"Glover offers the nostalgia of the classic late ‘90s era but also presents the challenges of 3D platformers that may prove difficult for many players to handle. If you enjoy a challenge, then Glover may be the game for you."
