Puppeteer – The Access verdict

Hello everyone, Rob from Access here with some tasty video goodness to kick off your week.

Our latest verdict video dives headfirst into SCE Japan Studio‘s beautifully creative platformer, Puppeteer. As little wooden hero Kutaro, it’s your job to thwart the evil Moon Bear King by jumping, running, swinging and climbing your way through an inventive side-scrolling adventure, with your weapon of choice a pair of magic scissors known as ‘Calibrus.’

These scissors can snip through pretty much anything, from cloth and armour to more smoke and water, and are the most fiendishly addictive gameplay tool we’ve got our hands on in ages.

Oh, and did I mention you can collect tons of novelty heads, each with their own unique ability? They’re all bonkers and absolutely hilarious, which very much describes Puppeteer as a whole.

See the game in action with a bunch of new footage in the video below, and don’t forget that Puppeteer launches in Europe on 11th September 2013 exclusively for PS3.
