  There’s not really much more to say about Horatio Goes Snowboarding. Visually it’s passable if hardly outstanding, while audibly I had to shut it off after just a few minutes thanks to some aggressively naff music and sound effects. The experience is slight and seems better suited to mobile or Switch gaming where you can pick it up for five minutes here and there rather than sitting in front of the big screen for any length of time. Fun enough in very short bursts but there are far better titles to stick the Xbox on for.

  I went into Horatio Goes Snowboarding with an expectation on where the game would take me, but I never expected a cross between Papers, Please and I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. Philistines will only see a simple arcade game, but I’ve peeled back the curtain to witness the true message within, and it’s a glorious indictment of the world around us. I see you, Infinite State Games, and I am with you. Let’s all take down the establishment together, one snowboard at a time.

  Ultimately, Horatio Goes Snowboarding is a fun little budget adventure. There’s nothing life-changing here, but it’s still solid and generally pretty enjoyable. My biggest complaint is that the developers weren’t a bit more ambitious, providing gamers a reason to keep playing for even longer. But if you want something simple and cute, that’s reminiscent of games like Woah Dave! and Space Dave!, then you’ll probably enjoy Horatio Goes Snowboarding.

  A modern day twist on a neglected classic, Horatio Goes Snowboarding is a budget, simplistic but addictive arcade game. It’s not quite on the level of other Infinite State Games but it’ll still fill an evening or two with enjoyable twitchy action. Maybe longer if you take on the leaderboards.

  There’s no debating that Horatio goes Snowboarding is a great little homage to the Horace classic from yesteryear, but there’s just not enough variation to the gameplay to warrant more than a few hours of play at best. The grind that is present is real here too and, in fact, the only thing that’ll keep you going back long-term is the opportunity to pick up some leaderboard bragging rights over your mates.

  After playing Horatio Goes Snowboarding for hours, I must say that I'm impressed with its intuitive albeit challenging gameplay as it keeps pushing you to achieve higher scores. In fact, I had so much fun that I hope to see a sequel; hopefully featuring much more content.
