Flat Kingdom Paper’s Cut Edition is a bit of a letdown. At its core, this is still the same fun game we discovered six years ago, now available for consoles. But, even though the title has changed, you’re still getting the same experience and it even still suffers from the same flaws as it did several years ago. If you have already played the original there is no real reason to buy this edition.

About
Flat Kingdom Paper's Cut Edition is set in a beautiful 2D land, but now it’s threatened by 3D malice and chaos. A wise sorcerer created six magical jewels that kept the effects of the third dimension at bay, granting peace and prosperity. However, one day an evil masked thief named Hex disrupted the balance and made the chaos return. The only who can stop the chaos is Flat, a little hero able to change into a circle, triangle or square in order to solve puzzles, overcome obstacles and defeat giant bosses!

Critic reviews
- Flat Kingdom Paper’s Cut Edition is a good game—not great, but solid. It’s simple enough to play, pleasant to look at, and easy on the budget.
- 5.0Flat Kingdom Paper’s Cut Edition has made it’s way onto Xbox and while it’s not bad, it’s not great. Mediocre platforming mixed with simple yet convoluted mechanics that took my brain longer than it should to catch on made this for a very “meh” experience. At least it’s easy gamerscore though!
- 5.0Flat Kingdom‘s environments do look pleasant, if not a little basic. At its best, everything feels like it’s made of papercraft, with cut-out shapes layered on top of each other to create a rich and vibrant effect. In some areas – like the outdoors, with backdrops filled with trees and hills – it really shines. But in other areas, such as underground caves, it’s instead rather bland.
- 5.0Flat Kingdom: Paper’s Cut Edition couldn’t help itself. It overburdens itself with different mechanics, and the simple, effective platforming ends up being sunk by its ambition. It is death by a thousand paper cuts.
- 8.0Flat Kingdom Paper’s Cut Edition is a 2D platformer with a unique gameplay twist that makes the game feel new. Along with a vibrant papercraft look and a great soundtrack, this is a title worth checking out!
