"I really liked The Company Man. It’s another strong addition to the indie 2D platforming catalog even if it didn’t reinvent the wheel. The main draw of the game is no doubt the setting and its satirical view of the …"

"Entertaining, engaging and visually formidable. The Company Man could have been the definitive satire on corporations and the competitive pleasures of work were it not for its limitations in handling its own critique."

"The Company Man mixes satire with the most classic of action platformers. Forust looks with almost Dante-like allegory at the reality of large corporate offices and their working conditions, bringing to market a narratively interesting and layered title. Unfortunately, overly …"

"In The Company Man, you risk it all to climb the corporate ladder… or get fired trying. At least, in theory. It&s;s a 2D Action Platformer that looks absolutely fantastic... but underperforms when it comes to the actual gameplay."
