Master Spy Critic Reviews

Master Spy is not for everyone; it targets a certain niche of gamers, and it does it well. For those who possess the skill and patience to fight through it, this game will be a true gem. For everyone else, consider your blood pressure and play something else.

This game is not for everyone and if you didn’t grow up on super-hard games that tested every reflect, it probably isn’t going to be a game you enjoy. However, it is an absolute must-buy for anyone who loves a challenge. It controls perfectly, looks and sounds great, and does everything it sets out to do nearly flawlessly.

Master Spy is like Super Meat Boy. The game is challenging and if you do your best, you will get rewarded. It is not too long, but it makes up for that in many other ways.

Master Spy is challenging, beautiful and fun. We think it would've worked better on a handheld, but it's a good game nevertheless.

A competent take on precision platforming with creative use of stealth elements, but one that offers little reward for taking its punishment.

Master Spy has no unique ideas here, and they’re not even executed to the reflective sheen that would’ve made it enjoyable. It’s serviceable, perfunctory. And in a market awash with ‘Nintendo hard’ platformers, that’s not good enough.

If you’re a big fan of the hyper-precision platforming genre, it’s got a pretty good take on it with some great dressing. If you’re looking for an action-oriented stealth experience, though, steer yourself elsewhere.
