PS4Blog.netAug 20188.5/10Reinkout Games have created a pretty fun and unique experience with Mugsters. The concept and objectives are simple, yet challenging at times as you'll have to test out every way you can to get to your objectives. It's one of those games that you start playing without any expectations, but end up spending hours on it because it's incredibly fun and addictive. I'm happy that Team17 helped to publish this game on PS4 since it's a blast!

Push SquareAllen ReynoldsJul 20188/10Mugsters may not hit all the notes of a fast frenetic party game, and it may not have the deepest story to suck you in and keep you playing for months and months. However, the endless variety and sense of curiosity we felt playing, exploring, and blowing stuff up was enough to keep us very, very busy. This is a game with no definite end in sight, and absolutely no boredom to be had.

CompletexboxJul 201885/100I really can’t say it enough, this is pure unadulterated fun. The simplicity encourages a great deal of experimentation and there are a variety of ways levels can be completed. It’s fun messing with the physics and exploring the small islands and you can tackle it all at your own pace. If you want something that’s cleverly constructed and doesn’t outstay it’s welcome I can’t recommend Mugsters enough. I’m off to crash some more cars and blow up some more aliens.

Nintendo LifeMitch VogelJul 20186/10Mugsters is a decent action puzzle game that will no doubt prove to be satisfying to a certain kind of audience. Goofy, physics-based puzzles, fun multiplayer, and a solid amount of content are definite positives, though these are hamstrung by the poor camera and grindy repetition of the gameplay. We'd give this one a light recommendation, as there's plenty of enjoyment to be found, but this is by no means a must-play.

God is a GeekMartin BakerJul 20186/10Mugsters is a game for people who enjoy puzzle games without much flair or fanfare about them. The emphasis is clearly on the puzzles themselves and, despite a few stumbles, Mugsters proves to be an entertaining game that's easy to come back to and somewhat difficult to put down; and with a decent amount of levels, with multiple objectives in each, you'll be spending quite some time getting lost.
