LumbearJack
Review

LumbearJack (2022) is a puzzle game where you slice and dice through machinery, and humans, and work with wacky woodland critters to stop the industrial giant Evil Works.

Play involves exploring the minimalist world to discover what you can chop and interact with. You use your axe to chop a path through forests, construction sites and towns. As you progress you solve puzzles using the items you find in the world.

There's a slapstick environmental theme as you reduce, reuse, and recycle waste to upgrade your chopping capabilities. While this violence to save the planet may sound odd, the quirky cast of animal friends carries the narrative well as you pit your skills against the evil corporation.

Our examiner, Andy Robertson, first checked LumbearJack 2 years ago. It was re-examined by Jo Robertson and updated 5 months ago.
