In this party game, little Bobby's chasing a feral dog, the BBQ's on fire, Jen's eating poisonous berries and the birthday cake still needs icing. It's just another wonderful day with the kids so... Ready! Set! Parent!
That aside, the multiplayer madness found in Think of the Children is good and the combination of boxy voxel visuals and a rather delightful, hugely catchy soundtrack mixes with the fast paced gameplay really well
Think of the Children is a fun and frantic party game that delivers on its promise of parenting mayhem. I enjoyed the simplistic gameplay and objectives, but really struggled with the visual style, particularly in handheld mode. I would have also loved to have some options to make difficulty adjustments, but the game as it stands shines the best when...
Think of the Children a niche recommendation to those dying for couch co-op experiences, but the game is a disaster for solo players.
The gameplay is fun, but really only if you can get some multiplayer going.
Think of the Children is a cute idea in theory but in practice, it lacks the balance it needs to succeed
