Unique Mix of Platform Action and Puzzles with Original Gameplay
Spacestation Silicon Valley on the Nintendo 64 is for me a unique mix of platform action and puzzles. The game lets you control various robotic animals to navigate through a futuristic space station. I found the idea of taking control of different animals by stepping into their bodies incredibly original and it offers a lot of variety in the gameplay. As I progress through the levels, I notice that the game's humour creates a charming atmosphere that you don't find in every game.
The levels are well designed, but the controls can sometimes feel a bit clunky. This can be frustrating, especially when you're trying to reach hard-to-get-to places. Still, the colourful graphic style makes up for a lot, even if it might lack the polish you would expect from other Nintendo 64 titles. But hey, it fits the playful and humorous tone of the game.
Despite these minor issues, I found Spacestation Silicon Valley to be a refreshing experience on the Nintendo 64. It offers a fun adventure for anyone looking for something different from the typical platformers of that time. My family and friends also had a great time with it. It's definitely a recommendation if you enjoy games that are a bit out of the ordinary!
