When Nostalgia Is Not Enough to Justify

Ah, the wonderful world of precision platformers! “Awesome Pea 3” is back, and apparently the little green hero still hasn't gotten over his inexplicable obsession with gold. This time, the game promises the same running and jumping in 69 stages challenging, because, of course, nothing says “platform game” like repeating a formula that has already been explored to exhaustion.

First, let's talk about these wonderful discounts. If you already own the Xbox One game, congratulations, you're eligible to spend more money and get 50% off the Xbox Series X|S version.

69 Stages of… More of the Same?

With 69 stages to explore, you'll certainly have plenty of content to keep you occupied, assuming you actually enjoy repeating the same type of gameplay over and over again. Yes, because each stage is a golden opportunity (literally) to question your life choices as you guide Pea through yet another set of pixelated traps.

Is It Time to Leave Pea Alone?

Ultimately, “Awesome Pea 3” is another one of those games that leans heavily on the wave of nostalgia to convince players to open their wallets. The real question is: is it really worth buying the third edition of a game that is essentially one long sequence of jumping and collecting gold? Maybe it's time to let Pea find his pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and give us all a well-deserved rest.
